I have won a tv once at a raffle at work. It was a regular 27 inch tv. When I found out I won I could not believe it. I was so happy I had won. It was like a dream come true. I had never won anything in my life. I was so happy. I have always wanted to win something and I did. I was just so shocked when they pulled my name out of the hat. It's been a five years since I have won anything else. I hope to win something again some day. I play pogo online and hope but I know that almost impossible to win but it fun though.

it was since a decade as well that after 10 years in school,i was not in the list of winners.i went to participate in a competetion in the guide camp where i was prompted by my friends about how to the knots.and when i turned and looked back one of my seniors smiled and me and said,"you r the guide captain and you are waiting for your friends to get prompted about the knots"?when i returned to home and thought for a minute that what i did through out my schooling,just wasting my time though gossips and pulling evry body's legs.i will not forget that day when i received a call from shri nalinikanta mohanty,my mentor,saying that,i was to receive the best guide award from the governor.and it was what i won!!may be nothing is impossible!!

No. I haven 't won much of anything. Maybe 50 bucks on the loto, but that's just about it. Most winnings are real junk. and that preaty much sums a lot up. My sister won a raffle at my school though. It was funny because I had to bring the gift home. I could hardly believe it.

I am a bit unlucky, and I have never won anything relatively big. The only thing I could remember winning is a basketball when I was small. It was a big raffle, and the ball was just one of the hundred's of consolation prizes. In terms of lottery though, the biggest I won was $70. It was not much, but it was much better than the regular $1 and $2 that I always get.

hell0! wow, it is really great, i think that if I won something big like a TV a will just jump from happiness, because I have actually never won something that big. the only thing that I have on once, was a teddy bear at local fair and it was really cool, because it was my first and as a see my last big reward that I have ever won :)

The biggest thing (as in tangible) is none. Really, I am not fortunate when it comes to things like this. Although, I have tried winning competitions a lot and raffle draws giving away pizza. Oh well, that's life! Some are lucky and some are meant for contentment.

Congrats!! I recently filled a fuel for Rs. 300?- at Indian Oil bunk and got a scratch card. After scratching, I found a code which I messaged to IOC. They called me this month and informed that I won a petrol worth Rs. 2500/-(around 75 Litres) I am yet to claim the prize.

It was during my 2nd year college before. But it was in the name of my aunt... but I was who filled up the raffle coupons with their names... it was a sharp refrigerator, I was so happy one day when I saw it being delivered in the house... since that time, I was the one who always filled up the coupons, but we never win again... we were praying for a house and lot but the fate never favored us... and now how I wish I could win in my name... I wish for a laptop... I am always treasuring all the raffle tickets I got from the mall, unfortunately, it was not my time yet... :-)
