My best thing was an all expenses paid trip to Florida including airfare, rental car and lodging. The trip was for two, so I could bring a friend. That was pretty good. I also once won a king size quilt, and numerous smaller prizes at different times. I haven't won anything in recent years though, outside of a few bucks on a lottery ticket. What is the best thing you have won?

My dad won a large cash prize like 2,000 dollars and bought a fancy riding lawnmower a few years ago It was ..at a football game my nephew was playing in the band at halftime.. We were all there. Of course now, due to his dementia, I don't think he is really capable of using it. He only used it maybe a year total.

Hmm... have you considered inviting @myklj999 to visit? I'm not sure if he eats weed, but I bet he could smoke it all fairly quickly.

@snowy22315 It was a good car, my parents used it for many years.

@snowy22315 I remember that the Bank called saying she had won the car and I think it was because my parents bought Alfa Romeo shares and the company each year extracted the name of 5 people for a free car.

That is great! Sis won Jimmy Buffet tickets.She said that was nuts. One time friend won DC United tickets. A signed ball, a years supply of Nabisco products and a chance to win a car.

I participated in several competitions (blogging, video competition, face mask design, etc) and I won gift cards. But the best thing I have won is a trip to Japan and a mobile phone. I think I had better luck when the competition is related to writing and blogging.

@snowy22315 I did research on past winners, I learn a lot from them. The trip to Japan was sponsored by a car dealer, lucky me my dad has use the same brand for years so I wrote the article based on personal experience.
But if the winner is selected based on random pick, I never win anything.

I would take it! Second prize in that Florida contest was 500.00. At the time, I would have rather had that, but going to Fla. Is always fun to do in he winter.

That's great you won an all-expenses-paid trip to Florida.
The only thing I can remember winning, and not the best thing, was a bottle of champagne at the command Christmas party, three years in a row. I don't drink. My husband drank it alone.

Gee, its a sha!e you couldn't enjoy what you won. I feel that way about the quilt I never liked it. UT is gathering dust somewhere. I should have given it Way or sold it. I think next time I go to PA.. I will do just that.

@snowy22315 Good idea. No sense in having it gather dust.

During my High school days ,particularly my second year in High school, I always win as Best in subjects, it means I get higher grades among my class mates, even on other sections. Also, My group which I lead, always win in question and answer games related on our lessons. Those are the best things I ever won during my teen age days.
As an adult now, I won my husband's heart, I mean all of him. I mean to say, I am lucky with my husband.
And I will always be forever winner having my adorable child.
