Mrs. Genesplicer entered a raffle for movie prop replicas at ComicCon a few years ago. She got second prize, which consisted of a motion tracker from "Aliens", a predator spear from "Predator 2" and an alien-predator hybrid from "AVP". The grand prize was a bunch of lightsabers from the various Star Wars films. We already own about half of those, so the Alien/Predator package was pretty nice. As for me, the best thing I ever won was a radio built into the side of a stuffed Old English Sheepdog, back when my parent took me to see "The Shaggy Dog". I had that radio until I was about 10 years old. By then, my brother had barfed on it enough times that it I had to throw it out. Unlike many stuffed animals, you can't wash an Old English Sheepdog that contains an AM radio.

LadyAmbien posted:Was he specifically aiming for it every time he threw up? No, but it was reasonably large, and made a comfy pillow to rest on, particularly when one was ill. However, my little brother did not have the usual warning system that we develop as we grow and would simply spew, rather than running to the bathroom. Thus the Shaggy Dog Radio was often in the way of the stream.

Won a decent amount at small raffles. Anytime there's a big table of donated (or whatever) prizes and getting drawn means you pick an item, the odds are probably pretty decentish. Overall best was a (~$100) digital camera at a holiday Christmas party at an old job.

I won a lacrosse head. It was the 2nd prize, but the first was some lame lacrosse camp thing that I didn't want anything to do with, so ultimately it was like winning the 1st prize. all my protons snapped at the top of the head. same place every time. probably not a good head for defense.

Mom and Dad won a week-long Paris vacation in a raffle and let me and my S/O go instead. It was pretty great, thanks Mom and Dad  E: The trip included the right to stay in a fancy apartment, and we spent an hour or so cleaning up before we left. Later we heard that the property manager was amazed that two young people had left the place so clean when other (older) guests had been messy. Take that rich Boomers

I got a royal flush playing live poker at Caesars in Las Vegas. They gave me a free entry to the 100 dollar daily tourney which I worked into a 340 dollar cash though a chop. Also I drew a pumpkin well when I was a kid just by sheer accident and won my first Gameboy.

I don't really play much because this luck can't last forever but every time I've bought a few scratch tickets on a whim I always win a hundred bucks and once I even won a thousand and had to go to the lottery office for my check!

When I was very little I won a bike from a raffle ticket at the county fair. I probably would have been too young to even remember it, but while my mom was taking me to claim it we ended up right in the middle of a fight that broke out between a couple of guys on the midway. I saw one of them stab the other with a big rear end hunting knife and he would have clipped me with it too if mom hadn't yanked me out of the way, so it kind of stands out in my memory. Anyway it was a full sized bike and I was too small for it, so it got stored in the shed. A few years later I went to dig it out figuring I'd grown enough, and the bike I'd braved a knife fight for had become a fused rust sculpture. That's probably why I've never played the lottery.

It wasn't great either, so gently caress you.

Once i walked back into a tobacconist after buying the worst cigarettes ever had. I said how bad they were and a ciagrette rep took them off me and gave me a new pack of equally bad cigarettes.

I seem to win the euromillions about once a month, maybe 1 in 4 times ive bought a ticket which isn't too bad odds. It's really annoying though when you get the email with "exciting news about your ticket" so you log in, see you matched 1 number and both bonus numbers and walk away with a cool £6.35

When I was a teenager my mom's deadbeat boyfriend won $10,000 on a scratch ticket. He had an arrest warrant out for him so he was too scared to cash it so my sister cashed it for him but kept half the money

I won a really lovely USB microscope from cartoonnetwork.com in like 1999 It came with little sample slides and everything, but it was basically worthless because it wasn't really a microscope, it was a camera jammed into a plastic chassis above a little glass platform. Pretty sure it retailed for like $250 at the time though, I'll have to look it up

When I was in kindergarten my school had like a little fair, and for some reason I was super determined to spend the entire time at the cake walk, and I won like 4 or 5 cakes. My mom was really embarrassed and kept trying to get me to stop. I wasn't even really that interested in cakes and didn't really understand that I was winning them, I just liked stopping on the numbers for some weird reason. I think we kept one and gave the rest back.

In Junior High, I won some chocolate and a little plush frog for guessing the right number of jelly beans in a jar. My family won some luggage some the grocery store because they were doing a monopoly contest like McDonalds has right now. I won a camcorder at my husbands annual company dinner one year.

I won an official nba leather basketball when I won 1st prize in a drawing from sports illustrated for kids when I chose Dominique Wilkins over Jordan in a dunk contest back in the 80's. Grand prize was like $1,000 though.

The lever shouldn't be too bad to replace even with HD parts being ridiculously overpriced. If the scratches are noticeable enough that you can tell it's been dropped, that'll take a bite out of the resale value. Harley guys are all about primping and polishing like a whore on prom night. But you can still sell it for half what it's worth, and get twice the bike for the cash.
