Did You Ever Win The Lottery or a Good Prize?

I was fortunate enough to win an all inclusive trip to Cancun once. I actually put my name into one of those sweepstakes at a carnival and to my surprise was the lucky winner. Most of the time when I participate in raffles or there is a draw for something, I barely win or win anything good. Have you had any luck winning something?

I've won a few things throughout my life. When I was pregnant with my son, I signed up for a prize in the baby department of a local store. I won a really nice car seat for the baby. When another new store remodeled and had a grand opening, I won a set of pots and pans. I also won $500 at Bingo several years ago. I've won a few small things along the way at raffles, but nothing like a trip or the lotto. My husband and I went to the Riverboat one Saturday afternoon and he always says that he is a jinx and never wins anything. Well that day, He won $6000 on the dollar slot machines. He can't whine anymore about being unlucky.

We don't go to the casino very often and when we do, we don't really spend much money. Yes, that win was very lucky and probably will cover the cost of any and all trips to the casino for the rest of our lives.

Wow it sounds like you and you husband together have done well in the luck department. That is great! I would love it if I could win $6000 at the Casino normally I walk out empty handed.

Hi EbonyFire, Well done done on winning that trip. I have never won anything good at all, I guess I am not that lucky lol. The best thing that I won was a sandwich toaster I have had a few small lottery wins over the years but nothing I could retire on.

Thanks! Yeah I still revel in that moment. You made me laugh when you told me about your sandwich toaster. I would love to have one of those things. I like to make grilled cheese sandwiches. Do you use yours?

Yes I use the sandwich toaster all the time, those cheese toasties are so very tasty. In that raffle my friend won a flat screen TV and I got the toaster. I asked him would he swap but he just laughed at me

just after our first daughter was born, my hubby called into our local radio station and won a table cloth with placemats and a really nice candle holder. also, a few years ago, he phoned into another radio station and won a movie. he is the lucky one, not me so much.

I am not a roll and be lucky kind of guy who wins every other prize or competition.However off late I am trying very hard to win something.The makeover came when I won an ipod last week by entering into a competition in a web site. I think there are folks who try their luck and get succeed in a good hit ratio.My mom says you need to try and try hard until you succeed.Not very sure if that works out in terms of lottery.I am planning to buy a lottery in Christmas ...Wish me luck..I also wish the very best to you in your next attempt to win something big....

Thanks! I will wish you luck too. Just keep visualizing the win. Imagine what it would feel like and look like when you win big. Keep that vision and it will manifest. Keep me posted.
