I once won the grand prize at a work party which was an all expenses paid trip to Florida for 2.including air fare, lodging etc . I had been to Florida several times by that point, and would have preferred the second place prize which was 500 dollars. Still the trip was nice though and we went to Disney's Animal Kingdom. I don't remember going anywhere else, but we may have. I can't even remember how we got to the park, as we didn't have a car. I think on second thought we may have had a rental car We had to gotten a transport service. What was your big win? I know Amber on here once won a trip to Australia.

@JudyEv So lucky and blessed really! In my book that is always something that happens to someone else.

@snowy22315 It was indeed. It had been jackpotting for several weeks which accounted for the large amount.

You must be a heck of a golfer! Were they mini or regular golf tournaments?

I have never won anything besides a cake from a lottery that my daughter´s classroom had when they were at school. I bought all or most of the numbers if I had made the cake myself.

@snowy22315 I had to help and the numbers were inexpensive. Plus I knew that the cake was good.

I’ve won a few small things. I won a record album off of the radio station when I was in high school.

I won a double CD of Beach Boys greatest hits from a radio station.. When I lived in the DC area one radio station had a cash booth. I am good at music trivia, and if you answered the questions right you got a turn in the cash booth. I won 17 dollars once. I always came away with some small amount of money.

@snowy22315 I’m not sure, but I know it’s defunct. I looked it up a few years after I won that prize, and it no longer existed.

OK not sure that classifies as a contest, or drawing but glad you were happy with your job.

That was a big win for you!
I guess the talent shows I've won (country music singer and songwriter with my small band) were the best things.

That would be exciting. I didn't know you wrote songs. Did you write any that had airplay?

@snowy22315 No, although we won a radio contest that had us perform two days at Busch Garden...or was it Kings Dominion? Many years ago. We won a couple of talent shows (one was playing a song I wrote) and then a few local things.

The best prize I did win was a fair amount of money playing numbers game with the state lottery a few years ago which was good enough to buy tickets to an amusement park in Baton Rouge.
