Lots of people sign up for give-aways, raffles and even purchase lottery tickets. Today, I won tickets to our local baseball teams game. 4 tickets that would've cost me $40! I was thrilled! What is the biggest thing that you have ever won.

The only thing I have ever won was tickets to a movie at the theatre. I have never won anything bigger then that before.. It would be cool to win the lottery though.

Wouldn't it though...Forget the $240 million....I wouldn't even mind $100,000. Thanks for your answer, and here is a plus for you!

I would not even want a million, but I sure would like 100,000 after taxes. with that I can get out of debt totally and repair this house we live in.

I once won a years supply of goldfish food but didn't have goldfish at the time so I told them I had bought the ticket to help the animal rescue so to donate the money to them instead. Hug

won anything ?? mmm, do you mean won anything by hard work or by good luck ?? if you mean won anything by hard work, yes, I won a lot of schoolarship by my hard work and I won every term when I was a student. but if you mean won anything by good luck . oh, i never won any big prize for my good luck, and I don't think I can won anything by my good luck . what a bad thing, but I could not change it. I nver buy tickets or buy lottery tickets as I think I could not won anything. so just earn my money by hard work. no other way to gain money.

At my kids last carnival I won a counted cross stitch. It's really pretty and I love it. But no I have never really won anything all that big. I dream about it though!

I don't think I am very lucky or I dont have good luck. The only thing I can think of that I won was a $10 Subway card from a local radio station. I enter a few contests and sweepstakes but I havent won any. But for some reason I continue to try to win, hoping that one day I will get lucky and win something big.

A book?!?!?! What in the world? Yes, money would have been much better! I hope that you liked the book....and it wasn't something like the "Life and lifestyles of the pgymy tribe" or something! Here is your plus!

The FOTA (festival of the arts) was doing a fundraiser - a raffle, where there were only 1000 tickets to be sold. They cost a whopping $50 each. I convinced my mother to go in on the raffle with me. The top winner was to receive $1000 . There were 2 other winners as well. So we drove out to the town where the drawing was to be held (some distance from home) and we listened to the runner up winners....and our hearts sanke a little bit when re realised we were not named amongst them. then then they called out very slowly - the first few numbers on my ticket. finally they finished calling the numbers and they matched mine perfectly!!! I was so excited. They did not end up selling the full thousand tickets, which at the price I was not terribly surprised. It was really an oddity that mother and I excused paying so much, but we also figured on the donation going to a great cause. Since they did not sell the full thousand the winnings were prorated. Mother and I split $800, which even at $400 it was a fantastic return on my $25 investment, huh?

Congratulations on your win. Its sounds like something fun for you to do with your children. I never win things like raffles and give aways. I have had some luck winning on some lottery tickets usually its just small amounts like a $1, $5,410, or $20. Occasionally I will win $50, $100, or once I even won $500 before. These days I don't gamble as much as I use to because I feel guilty if I don't win. There are better uses for my money.
