This is now the 4th prize I have won from this conest called "100 days of summer". It is almost over and hope to win some better prizes. Anyhow this is a one pot serving of Arbuckle Coffe which is grown and made in Arizona USA. Now totally I have won a steel old faqshioned type of bottle opener, a credit card type steel bottle opener, this coffee sample pictured with the discussion, and the BBG tool set which I gave to my daughter. She loves the battery powered digital meat thermometer. She said she used the set this week and loved it. So what have you won lately? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

My daughter last year won a trip to their ranch in montana, we had a blast. My husband is also entering in to this contest (100days) infact it is almost over. Only thing we have won is the ashtray, the bottle opener, credit card bottle opener and that is about it. They must have a surplus of them to give away. But don't stop now Bob keep on entering who knows you might win the jeep.

I want the $40,000 in gold, or the Mustang, or the Jeep or even the ranch trip would be nice. Then the wife has to pay the taxes on them but.... Hee hee! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Really the 40k in gold is a nice one...but make her foot the bill on taxes... oh your too funny does that come with doghouses. Because that's where my hubby would end up if I had to pay the taxes for something he won.

I won a coffee maker in a raffle in March but it was in LA and I didn't want to take it on the plane home, so I gave it to my Aunt and cousin so that they could either keep it or sell it on E-bay...

Congrats on the winnings, Grandpa Bob. Sadly, all I won is a few million dollars from a lottery I had entered in Nigeria while I was floating on a raft in the pool last week.

I woke up this morning and realised I'd won yet another day on earth! I've won this many times over the years and I never get tired of it. Aside from that, I don't remember the last time I won anything else? It'd probably help if I actually entered a competition once in a while! lol. Well done on your latest win though, you're making out like a bandit so far!

That is great to hear., You are getting pretty good at winning those drawings or contests. The most recent thing that I won, was $50.00 from a jackpot spin at one of my survey sites. I hope we both win more things too. Good luck.

You have touched on two sore points with me!! First, everything grown in AZ tastes funny, they don't have real dirt and I just hate that state having been stuck there for almost 30 years. Second, good coffee makes the day worthwhile--if you can't start it with a good cup of coffee, what's the use? I found out that Walmart--the only place where I can get the coffee I love Medaglio D'Oro espresso--quite carrying it and now carries only the common swill made by Folgers and Maxwell House. And the "boutique" coffees that are also swill. I've switched to Cafe Bustelo, a Mexican espresso, until I can find a source for my coffee again. Anyway, to get back to the point, I've won things twice in my life and neither was within the past ten years!

hi Grandpa Bob you are the winningest person.you must just be really lucky. The only two things I ever won was twenty dollars to spend in the grocery store and get this, a helicopter ride over the pacific ocean and the queen mary. that I loved it was my only time in a helicopter and I got to see all the terrain of Orang county California. it was fun.

i tried to look at the picture. seems like a bag with a plastic of coffee beans in it. is that what you have won. anyways, it feels good to win no matter expensive or small the price is. cause if you win once there is a big chance to win again. i just feel that some people have the tendency to have luck on their side each time they join contest or raffle. i am not one of those who luck favors on my side. but i still trying to win something lately too. i am starting to bet on LOTTO. i am not making a career out of it but i find it fun. as long as i do it for fun and i don't spend much then it will be okay with me. I am going to bet again and hopefully i will at least $40. which is the prize i am going to get for the smaller prize, i am not betting for the grand prize cause it is hard to be on the luck, i am just on the guessing of two number combination cause it is much easier and the chance to win is much bigger than the grand prize itself. anyways, among the prizes you got i am quite interested on the credit type steel bottle opener, seems a very cool prize to get. i would love it if i get one and even buy one if i can one like that on the market.

I won three times during the "100 days of summer" contest that just ended. None of them were any of the big, glamourous prozes though. I got the credit card bottle opener, a wall mounted bottle opener, and "webbers gilling book" i got so excited when i received the email aout the book, as the subject line of the email got cut off and when i read it in imy inbox it only said" congratulations, you have won a webber grill....." i thought i had actually won the really awesome grill they were giving away!! Last year i won a cuisinart coffee for two coffee maker. it is really nice, but i don't use it often. It brews the coffee right into either one or two 20 ounce travel mugs. Of course i got lots and lots of coupons as well, which were greatly appreciated! Someday though, i would love to win one of the BIG prizes!

I've won several things this past 2 or so weeks: A book, a $100 Visa gift card and 6 bottles of each Pantene conditioner and shampoo. Then again, I am a sweepstaker. I enter contests/giveaways/sweepstakes to win great prizes!! There are times when I won't win anything for a month, and then the next month, I will win a big prize. It's definitely a hobby and so much fun!

Well congratulations Bob I hear of people winning contests all the time but for some reason I never hear about them until after their over... Ok I don't look for them either. BBQ set sounds like it's pretty nice. Last thing I won was this past Christmas they had a drawing at work and I won a $10 Walmart gift certificate :)

Cool Grandpa Bob! I won seven prizes from Subway contest! :D. I won 5 prizes of 3 months free to pogo.com (it's a gaming website), and a won two coupons for one cookie each free . I seem to keep winning from their contest. That coffee sounds pretty cool! Do you enter many contests or just the Marlboro contest?

Wow, congratulations. That's pretty impressive, to win 4 times. I haven't won any at all, so you made up for me not winning. Those do sound like some pretty cool toys or should I say prizes as well. I wouldn't mind having one of those digital meat thermometers. It seems like whenever I cook a turkey, if it has one of those that are supposed to automatically pop up, they never do. I haven't figured out if it's me or the turkey. LOL I think they usually end up getting pinned down by the wing. So I just usually determine whether I think it is well cooked or not, and forget about the tool. But I do believe one of those thermometers would come in handy!

You're doing really well with those contests, GB! I haven't won anything for a while, but the last thing was a set of face powder and lipstick. Before that, I won a microwave oven - a really good, Panasonic one! Must start entering some more competitions ...

My boyfriend and I have both won. He won the ashtray back in the beginning and then we both have now won the wall mounted bottle opener. Other than that neither of us have won anything else and especially nothing of any great value such as the Mustang or the cash.
