Just anything like Lotteries, singing/dancing/acting contests, pageants, academic quizzes.. I won some during my school days, but i never won anything from super market promos or lotteries. Others win it big like cars and house and lot. Others win pageants like miss universe.

I won a couple of times in the lottery but it's like 4th or 5th place. I mean I only get to have 2-3 out of 6 winning numbers in the lottery. I guess my biggest win is when I won my girlfriend over who is now my wife. :D

I remember winning some scientific projects when I was in grade school, but that was a group award. Also, I remember winning in dance contests, but then again, group award. I guess the only award I can remember winning on my own was during a Bingo Social in high school, but oh, I didn't win it alone coz another two schoolmates had the same card as I had so we split up the cash prize. I ended up going home with PhP1,000+ in cash, which was not so bad since I was just a high school student at that time :D

Well, back when I used to buy Scratch Tickets I ended up winning a decent prize once for Corvette Cash. I ended up winning a Corvette clock, blanket, leather jacket, a watch and some cash. Also at a casino one night I won over $650 on Roulette and my husband ended up hitting over $400 that same night so that was cool. I can remember also when I was a lot younger winning a Gift certificate for somewhere, but lately I have not done much at all in hitting anything.

I won a decent amount from lottery scratch cards just this month. I used the money to buy myself and my cats something nice. I am still using part of the money up to now.

I won spelling bee contests in school, I also won some random art drawings. When I was younger, I used to listen to Radio Disney and I won things off Radio Disney all the time. I won an easy bake oven, a doorbell type thing for my room and some other random things. I haven't really won anything recently though. I kind of wish I did though I need something exciting happening.

Yes in school I won lots of things. Spelling Bee contest, Poster contest, an dlots of academic things. I have won a seven dollar gift certificate before from a grocery store too. I have never won anything that big as lotteriers or pageant contest though, because I have never bought a ticket or applied to be in a pageant.

I have won quite a bit, but nothing huge. I frequently win things at college. I have won $50 twice now, once for walking barefoot for a whole day to promote TOMS shoes and The Walk (check out TakeTheWalk.net or TOMSSHOES.com). It shows how important shoes are in the world and how awful it is not to have a pair. I was already a part of the movement and enjoyed being able to tell others about it. I won $75 at a treasure hunt recently, and a Shrek DVD at a Bingo tournament. I think the most important thing to me was my Employee of the Year award at work. I worked hard for that and the plaque is still displayed on my wall...I cant believe that was three years ago already.

When I was in school I used to win the General proficiency award for securing first position in class every year.That has continued till college.Apart from academics I was really uninterested in sports and never participated in any singing or other competitions even though I was a trained singer and painter.When I stared earning online,after a year of taking surveys from a particular Indian survey site,one fine day,to my utter dismay I got an email saying that I was the monthly winner of their lottery and the prize amount was Rs.1,00,000(INR).My initial excitement was worth watchingand after deduction of Rs.30,000 as tax by the Indian government,I got a check of Rs.66,000.I must say this is the only time and perhaps the last time I have won a lottery.My luck in general does not favor me too much in winning lotteries.I always have to work to get something whether it be online or in everyday life.But this was a pleasant surprise and till date I smile when I think of it.

I used to think I was very unlucky when it comes to these prize things. I hardly ever won anything even if I entered some contests or so. Lately, I did get something for free out of randomness, when I just happened to be at the right place at the right time before anyone else did. And I got free stuff! That didn't involve any contest or anything, but I thought, I did get something for free. I guess that wasn't so bad :)

Hi, Yes I have won aademic prizes during my school days Every year I used to get prizes for academic excellence. I got medals in my undergraduate and post graduate degrees also. But I have so far have had no luck with lotteries, lucky draws. When they announce some one has won 10 crores, or a house or a car, I wonder why not me.But I dont worry. Life is like that Happy mylotting

Well, I never won anything in my life. The only thing I won is the Girl of my dreams. She's still my fiancee, but looking forward to marry her. It's not that much but I hope to win more in life, like winning a job and all..

Yah,back in school days,i did win at some academic quizzes. I also won some supermarket raffles,like groceries and other goods.The biggest price i have won is...a NIKON digicam. With lottery,i don't buy tickets from those,so...there is no possibility of winning.
