    How lucky are you folks when it comes to winning stuff (magazine contests, lotto 649 etc)? Coolest and lamest things you've won?

    All I've won is an 100 dollar gift card to Target from my orthodontist, and even then it was only because my friend performed a Hatian Voodou ritual on me.

    :lol: That's awesome!

    I won a cheap lunch bag containing an assortment of Mexican cheeses at a supermercado once.
    That's the highlight of my life.

    I've never won anything in my life before. I'm the eternal loser.

    Im very unlucky when it comes to winning stuff. I have failed at many bets and lottery tickets.

    I always say that im only doing it for fun so I dont get annoyed.

    Well for the last few months I've been entering most competitions in guitar magazines I've gotten (mainly because I'd goddamn love to have a gretsch archtop or an epi casino), but I've never won anything...

    A few years ago I won my first thing, a light blue Monsters vs. Aliens shirt in a drawing/fanart contest. It's a cool shirt and comfy, but the feeling of winning was even cooler...!

    The most I've ever won on the lottery was $50 on a scratch-off.

    Extremely lucky. I've been the 1 millionth visitor to many websites!

    Nothing that I remember. Of course I rarely try my luck at those kinds of things.

    Almost every darn thing I've won is through cleverness and effort. I see life as a game, maybe thanks to playing video games. If my fave philosopher doesn't need to be real, then it's Tzeentch. I can be karma, if such actions are legal.

    If an outcome depends solely or mostly on luck, then I seem to have good days and bad days.

    I won a Christmas cake just before Christmas, but on the whole I'm quite unlucky.

    I've won quite a few things, art contests, Halloween costume contests, a few random draws here and there and some scratch and win tickets. The largest amount I've won was 50$...however, the coolest prize I've ever won was "Funniest Costume" during Halloween at my college one year. The prize was a gigantic basket of candy that I ended up sharing with the whole class.
