Once got an email telling me I won a hot water tank for the house. I thought it was a joke. Turned out it was true.

I wish it were a pair of designer shoes instead.

    I won 1,000,000 points for a grocery store which was worth about $1000. It was one of those swipe your card and you're entered in a contest. Totally weird when I got the notification

    My wife is lucky with winning stuff off the radio. She's won several concert tickets and in a couple months we leave on a week long vacation to Mexico that she won off the radio. Me I've only ever won a few guns from raffles.

    When I was a kid, I did swimming lessons but failed because I have a fear of drowning. So all the other kids received certificates with dolphins and sharks etc on them and I got a tadpole on mine.

    I lived within 5 miles of Disneyland, but had never been there. In 1968 my family moved to Fresno (several hundred miles away). I was 13 and got a paperboy job in Fresno. At the first paperboy meeting, I won an overnight trip to Disneyland.

    Coincidentally, that led to the first time a girl ever slapped me. Tried to kiss her on the Pirates of the Caribbean.

    10 BOXES of Unreal (a natural brand) candy. Not like 10 candy bars... but 10 BOXES of candy. I mainly used them as bribes for my toddler when out shopping... still took forever to get through though lol.

    Won a trip to fly overnight with the local NBA team. Rode on their private jet and stayed in their hotel with them. Also got $500 cash and lunch for my whole office. Just because I faxed in a song request to the local radio station.

    In college, I lived in the dorms and we had this grill we could use our meal plan at. I thought the contest as for a turkey meal. Nope! A big frozen butterball turkey breast. My dorm fridge wasn't gonna hold it. Who gives that to a college student in dorms? I managed though with the trunk of my car in Wisconsin.

    My cousin won a lamp at a local shop during a Round Robin when we were kids.
