I've won $100 from the lottery and a white-water rafting trip in West Virginia from my high school prom years back. Apart from that, nothing really of note.

What about you? Any cars from a mall raffle or casino drawing?

Won a bunch of stuff from a local radio station. Mostly tickets to advance screenings of movies. I've also won a couple of "night out" passes to a casino, which gets you $40 in gaming credit and $30 of food at their lovely cafeteria restaurant.
Biggest thing I've won is UFC tickets. They were good seats too.

Sometimes at my office we have raffles or other little games for insignificant prizes.
It helps to alleviate some of the monotony of this dull existence.

So far I have won : a $15 Taco Bell gift card (gross, gave to fat coworker), a $10 iTunes gift card, a gift certificate to have my car detailed, a "go home early" pass, a Starbucks gift card (gently caress yeah) and a box of donuts.

I feel a great disturbance in my pants
when I was four I won a fire extinguisher at a raffle, I cannot remember why I was at a raffle at the age of four

I can't help but think it was a huge waste that our house never burned down so I never got to heroically use the fire extinguisher.

I have not won anything since then

One time I went to this lovely christmas party and they had a white elephant game.

The host of the party was this girl who couldn't deal with drama/strife/hardships so she made a rule that said "no lovely gifts, everything must be a good gift, limit $15 dollars".

This is bullshit because the lovely gifts are what make the game fun and competitive for the good gifts.

I thought the loophole around this was lottery tickets because they essentially worthless.

The girl who got stuck with em ended up winning 250 bucks.

Won $200 on a scratch-off ticket my boss gave me back when I was working a night job back in college.

That and was born white, male, wealthy, and to a loving family.

So kind of a toss up which is better.
