Default Winnah Winnah Winnah!
I won something twice in 2 months!

This morning the local radio station was giving away two $20 certificates for cholesterol screenings to the 5th and 6th callers.

It was hard to get through, but when I finally did I was the 3rd caller. So I kept trying and was a winnah!!!


In December I went into NAPA and bought new windshield wipers. I entered a contest while I was there and later got the phone call saying I had won a DashMat for my car!

Guess I'll have to buy a New car, cause my Old one already has a DashMat!!!

So, has anyone else ever been lucky?

Thumbs up
congrats!

while I was at grad school in London I went into a store to buy batteries for my radio

guy hands me a ticket and says please enter your info and you will be registered for the promotional giveaway of state of the art Sony stereo stack system built into a wheeled case

I scribble the stuff down and leave...........

few weeks later there is a knock at the door and I open to be greeted by a flash of a camera and a bunch of guys saying "congratulations" and they unload the flashy stereo set from the van....

I don't win much ... but, I don't fill out stuff either!!

here's a handy hint for those of you that do::

keep a page of peel-off labels in your purse or wallet or glove compartment ... then all you'd have to add is your phone number ...

we get tons of labels from PVA, DVA, garden, Arbor Day ... easter seals -etc ... here's a good place to use them up at!

Wow, good for you winners out there!

Apart from a few $2 wins on those 'scratch-its', I think the only thing I've ever won in my entire life was a tea cup and saucer for winning an egg and spoon race when I was around aged 6 and a Brownie (junior) in the Girl Guides lol. Sheesh, long time ago that!

I think I don't win things, because I never enter anything.

I never win anything...

well, except for this one time, about 15 years ago... I was playing a quarter machine in Tahoe (while waiting for the Moody Blues concert), and won a $75 jackpot...

KA CHING !!! jingle jangle jingle !!!

I snatched up my winnings quickly and left for the show, and never gambled again!

I won a free brake tune-up, but I was very young and did not have a car. I won a $100.00 gift certificate at Ikea, spent quickly

My sister, enters every contest and wins stuff. I got 5 numbers out of 6 in NJ lottery and got $3,000. But that was long ago,
