Twelve Days of Christmas got me to thinking. I NEVER win anything! I buy lottery tix mainly just for fun and may win a dollar or two. I found $10 on the ground one day and spent it on lottery tix and won $100 and then bought more and didn't win a thing. Some people seem to win at contests much more than others. What is your luck in them?
 
I won a giveaway this yr for the 12 days. Pretty much a first for me.

I'm with the above poster. There's a reason why I don't throw money away on the lottery...
 
I've been pretty lucky, Won a car when I as about 23 years old, won a Winch at an off road event, won a massage while on the cruise ship and most recently I won the 7th day of Christmas. :huggy:
 
You might as well call me Trump b/c I win so much

Let me know next time you're buying raffle tickets. I buy the batch prior to and after yours.
 
When I was 10 or 11 I won an all expenses paid trip to Disney world for my family from being the high seller at my schools fundraiser. That put my name in the hat with all the other elementary school high sellers in the county. I was the name drawn.

While we were in the magic kingdom I found a $100 bill blowing across the ground. I found a $20 in the hotel hallway, and I found a $10 at Epcot.

I'm now 36 and haven't won another damn thing. I guess I burned all my luck up in one shot.

I won the nc4x4 day 11 from metalworx but I keep losing gun broker auctions for the shotgun I want. I guess if I bid higher I could win but paying retail isn't winning!
 
I won something on the nc4x4 12 days giveaway that has come in really handy. I thought they were tacky and useless for the longest, until I owned one. I'm now a proud owner of a Trasharoo. I use the hell out of it.

Aside from that, I'm constantly "winning" bonus incentives for positive company reviews on Google, Nearby Now, Angie's list, etc. $25-$200 a week is my average.
 
Friggin @josh$$ isn't allowed to buy raffle tickets again. He wins everything!

I won a 7 min run at Peaches (music store in the 90s) and nabbed like 120 cds
 
I win occasionally, nothing major though. I've never bought a lottery ticket. Won a ring and pinion at an off-road event up north about 10yrs ago. Had absolutely no need for it but some douchebag I met on the trail that day offered to buy it right then and there. It was a fair price and he really wanted it, told him no:D I brought the set back down here and sold it for less than his offer.
 
I won a 12 Days URE package 3-4 years ago...beyond that, I don't have that kind of luck. The wife on the other hand, she wins shit all the time. In the last 5 years, she's probably won a half dozen radio contests. She won a $5000 shopping spree to some place in South Park, a trip to Snow Shoe, a trip to Sanibel Island, a trip to Charleston...and about once a month I'll hear "I won another couple hundred from a scratch off".
 
The wife won a 65qt yet in an nra raffle 2 years ago with a ticket that I bought lol. I've never won a damn thing for myself
 
I have never bought a lotto ticket but I did win 3 shotguns in one night at a Harry Hampton banquet. 1 nice over and under and 2 that would work better as boat paddles. That same year I won an 870 Remington (that has turned out to be a priceless possession in the safe) at a NWTF banquet. Then not long ago I won a 9mm at an Outdoor Dream Foundation banquet. After all that I never pass up a $5-20 dollar draw on something that at will go bang.

I don't win when it comes to raffles, lottery, or any games of chance. If there's a fifty fifty chance bet the house against me. Hell, the last time I won anything was Christmas of 1999. I won $50 at a family party. Haven't won shit since. I went to a Ducks Unlimited banquet with my little brother a few years ago. I bought $150 raffle ticket package. I won a women's hat. My brother won a .300 winmag. The year before he won a boat, and a yeti. The year before that a damn shotgun. I won't say good things don't happen because they do, I just never win shit. It's a running joke at my house. Eighteen year losing streak.
 
I won one of the 12 days a couple years ago, and a Ruger 10-22 last year. If the past is any indication of the future, ages 75-76 should be good years for me.

Dude I know what you mean! There was this ad to pop up one day I was browsing xnxx, something about "5 minute glory hole" yada yada... Boy did that turn out to be expensive.
 
Very rarely. I won a small haul at a SFWDA years ago but it was stuff like shirts, koozies, books, stickers. The biggest thing I won was a small suck down winch ($75 maybe). Ever since then I've not won shit at raffles. We went to that run at the SHOP for the military folks and there wasn't that many folks there IMO. I bought $50 worth of tickets and didn't win anything. Zero. However, some people won multiple times.
 
Great wife and kid, good job, nice piece of land, in what is probably the free-est civilized nation on earth...I guess I won the life lottery. But otherwise I don't ever win anything.
