I have won …

  1. A coupon for a free Three Musketeers bar.

  2. A slightly used movie poster for “The Firm.”

  3. $1.50 in a poker game.

Somehow I don’t feel lucky.

I won a raffle through the local human society. I only bought one ticket. A basket of 7 Beanie Babies. I gave my kids 2 each then kept the three “retireds” for a year, after which I turned around and sold them for $450 and bought myself the lovely desk I’m writing from right now.

This past summer my husband and I won a round-trip package from Seattle to Woodstock '99 through a local radio station. It was . . . quite an experience. One I hope never to repeat again.

I won the shirt off of someone’s back. He bet it playing quarter poker when he couldn’t afford the ante.

It wasn’t a very nice shirt.

I once won about $90 at the harness race track. Left it there, not on the ponies, but buying a round for all my friends.

I also won a Sleeping Beauty Coloring book in kindergarten.

25

I won the mystery game at bowling last year at least a dozen times. Considering the fact that I’m such a mediocre bowler, winning some cash was good consolation.

I don’t know if this really counts, but anyway…
My pet hamster Smokey won a ‘Herby Derby’ hamster race. They placed the contestant hamsters in hamster-wheel propelled racing cars if you must know. I won some free hamster raising supplies, and about 200 dollars. My dad made a point of telling everyone he knew, so I ended up torn between joy and crushing embarrasment.
Other than that, lots of free Cokes during the original Red Hot Summer. Man, every third Coke I drank then was free…ah, those were the days…

Personally, I’d have no problem living in a country governed by an evil dictator.
As long as I got to be that evil dictator.

Hey hey, me too! I won 7 free Sprites in a row, and a Penny Hardaway jersey from those under-the-cap games. I also won a 24-pack of Coca-Cola in some football contest.

So that means all I won in my life is soda and a jersey. Eh, good enough for me.

I once came out about $20 ahead at the racetrack.

I once won $225 on a slot machine (ended up about $130 ahead for the night).

I won a $50 watch in a raffle once.

That’s about it.

When I was 11, I won on WNBC - 660AM (when it was a rock station with Imus on it) a Two Liter bottle of Sprite and two pairs of Jordache jeans. This was in the early '80s, and those jeans were hot!

So I get the certificate, and dad takes me to the mall. The only size they have is a tad small for me. I am suggested to wait a week. But I just HAD to have them then…

Got to wear them once each and then my brother inherited them.

Oh, and I HATE Sprite!

I won the hearts of a few women & it was always much longer lasting that winning money.
