Ever won anything???
So my girl won Metric tickets on a radio call in contest (I'm stoked about that) and some years back my dad won over 100k on a lottery. Myself, besides my poker winnings or random wins in Vegas, I've won diddly.

What's the best/coolest/dopest thing you've ever won??

Ever won anything??? Photo

ps...I checked for dupes, didn't find any, so I hope this is the first time this has been asked...

Have won quite a bit playing 3 card poker and blackjack.  Have lost quite a bit as well.  Have won a lot of drinking contests...does that count?

 I've won plenty of promotions (cd's, concert tickets, etc) off of Radio Stations.  I won some game pack from Honey Combs way back in the 80's.  I've won some raffles of some nice signed hockey stuff.  Won baseball tickets.  I guess I've done ok.

I go to Vegas pretty regularly and the most I have ever won is 2000 dollars-------not nearly as much as I have put in.

I've won KISS tickets when I was in high school (pretty much a waste on me since I only knew one song) and Kings tickets. I am still waiting to hit the one "big" one.

I won an ESPN fantasy football league in 2007. Got the t-shirt to prove it. Won my NCAA tournament pool this year. Won my NFL pool one year too. The best thing though was winning a bike when I was the top fund-raiser in my age bracket for the local 'cycle for sight' event about 20 years ago.

The ratio of men to women officers at the jail is about 50 to 1. If you take out the hideous looking women it is 200 to 1. I won the heart and affection of my wife over all the dogs at the jail. The best and sometimes worst prize I ever won. When people ask where did you meet, I can truthfully say " We met in Jail".

Some winnings in Atlantic City, hit the lottery twice for about $300 each time and won Chicago/Doobie Brothers tickets on the radio for figuring out which song they were playing backwards.  BTW, Chicago and the Doobie Brothers were great together.

Oh yeah, and I won $1300 in a 50/50 at a "beef & beer".  It was for a foundation to honor a 5 year old girl that died from cancer.  We were at the table talking about the theory that you should give the money back if you win since it was for a good cause.  I laughed and said, "It doesn't matter because I have no shot at winning."  It was a really tough choice because I was out of work at the time, but I gave the money back.

Grrrrr....

Last hand of the night.  5 card draw. Jacks or better to open, trips or better to win.  Nothing wild.  Goes around forever, pot is getting huge.  Finally, I get a full house on the deal!  Everyone draws, I don't.  Raise it to the max.  They stare at me in disbelief, but call.  They're all wanting to see mine, and I'm all too eager to show my boat.  Everyone just throws their cards down, except for one.  The guy w/ four freaking natural aces.  It's haunted me ever since.

Oh, and NO!  I haven't won anything.  But the Powerball is tonight...

I won $500 playing bingo with the old ladies at the VFW years ago.  It was pretty funny seeing the look on their faces!!  LOL  Oh...almost forgot the iPod nano that I won through the tv station 2 years ago, but my son took that over.

But my favorite thing that I won was my Dale Jr AMP racing jacket.  I wear it just about everyday!!

I won 800.00 at Bingo the first time I ever played at Foxwood's Casino. I won a lot of stuff when I was a teen listening to the radio. I won a Christmas tree and my house decorated by WBMW and we had a party...it was fun. I won some 3.00 playing lottery tickets. LOL. I don't gamble so I don't win money. Too afraid to gamble. But, a couple years ago we were having a Christmas party and they had a raffle, and even when you win, you keep your ticket and you have a chance to get your number called again...I won a microwave, hair stuff, an electronic game and a whole bunch of stuff...even a 50.00 gift certificate for Wal-Mart. It was a blast. People were getting mad at me because they just kept picking my number. It was weird..before that I really didn't win much stuff.
A few weeks ago at a show my guys were doing they had a raffle and everyone in my band won things, but I didn't and my drummer said if he won the DVD player he would give it to me because I didn't have one, the next item up was the DVD player, hence, I now have a new DVD player! He won and yes, he kept his word and gave it to me, then he brought me home and hooked it up for me. :)

I was 1/2 a point away from $8k on a 10 team parley once.  I will hate the Redskins forever because of this.

Biggest sportsbook win - $450 on Super Bowl 43 ($300 2:1 for having the Steelers to win after the wild-card round $150 for picking Arizona +7 on the game)

Biggest non-sportsbook money win was $225 with a four of a kind (Queens) on a dollar poker machine.

Only other thing I was is a $200 bowling ball for winning a tournament.

I won a vacation to Punta Cana from a Philadelphia radio station, I've won concert tickets and albums from call-in contests from radio stations, I've won awards from various jobs I've had over the years, and I won awards during my high school graduation.

When I used to go to bars, my friends would get a contest going where everybody would put a dollar on the bar, and the first person to guess the answer on "Wheel of Fortune" won the pot (they knew I was good at the game)...I bought many rounds with my winnings from that game! 

My biggest money win was $500+ on a "Lightning 7s" slot machine in Atlantic City.

My biggest sports win was in 1993, when a friend was going to Vegas in April, and I had him put down $20 on the Phillies to win the National League pennant. During the off-season, they were something like 50:1, but they started off hot that year, so by the time he put my money down, they were only 4:1, so I won $100.

When I was 10, I won 20.00 off a sailor. I was doing my family's laundry at the laundromat and I had a deck of cards with me...I was just playing with the cards by myself while the clothes were in the washer. This sailor started talking to me and asked me if I knew any card games. I said, " I will show you a great game." He said, "Ok." I asked if he had a 1.00 bill. He said the smallest he had was a 20. I said, "Alright, I have a 20." I said, "put it there on the table", and I put my 20 on top of it. Then I laid out 2 jacks, 2 queens, 2 kings, and 2 aces. I said, "Now pick a pair." He picked the Aces. I said, "I pick this pair!" and picked up the two 20s. He laughed and I went to hand him back his 20....he said, "Hell no Honey, you keep it. You earned it. I can't believe I just got outsmarted by a 10-year-old."

I've won a couple of concert tickets from a local TV station, and I also won tickets to this past Comicon here in San Diego.   I am still waiting to hit the big lottery prize, but I don't really play very often.  Yes, I know you have to play to win, but my dream is to run across someone with the winning ticket who will tell me: "Here you go, I just won this, but I don't need it.  Have fun!"

Yes, I know it is a very likely dream, but I keep hoping.
