Yeah I won a cheese during a red cross auction/thingy, some home made poo poo made by an old lady.
There was one cheese for auction as well and it went for like 200$+. This is the most expensive thing ive ever won, it was a raffle and I was 8, I was a sorely disappointed kid lugging around a cheese larger than my head.

man i bet you would kill for a cheese larger than your head these days especially some of that dank home made grandma poo poo

My best friend's family won the $1M Publishers Clearing House prize back in the 90's. His pretty teenage sister answered the door in a towel and it was used in their commercials for a while. We had a falling out afterwards as he became just... kinda mean and was pretty vocal about everything he had was better than mine. Anyway, their mom was a gambling addict and they blew through the money in a few years. I got back in touch with his sister a while back and she ended up doing well for herself. My friend got hardcore into drugs and when I tried to reach out to him on Facebook, he just aggressively hit on me so I dropped contact.

Uh... When I was in high school, I won first place in the Academic Olympics(?) for English in my state. I don't remember much, I just know I got a day off of school and I was reading a book of Stephen King short stories between tests. I was so loving depressed in high school, I barely remember any of it.

hey das boo- you won there a day off is def better than a)openening a door in a towel b)gambling a million a way c)doing drugs until they arent fun and you hit on people on facebook

having to read steven king is def 4th worst on that list good job

I won an Nvidia 7800 GTX from New Egg years ago when they first started out, I was so loving floored to have won such a cutting edge card- I was playing Everquest at the time, too so it was such a monsterous upgrade. my face hurt for a week I smiled so hard...

In the 5th Grade, I won the King of the Ragamuffin Parade sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. I still even have the trophy. It was a big deal because in order to get the nomination, I had to be nominated by the school that was selected for that year, which was my school. There was a huge writeup in the newspapers, complete with a photo op. I was pulled around the racetrack in a racing harness sulky (that's the kind of horse racing where instead of sitting on top of the horse in a saddle they sit in a racing harness with 2 wheels that the "drivers" ride in behind the horse) along with the Queen of the parade, at Yonkers Raceway in Yonkers, NY.

I was number 1 in the Air Force to sew on Staff Sergeant when I made rank, that was a really bizarre and surreal experience, notably because I did not want the promotion, but I had to test, and didn't want to just "throw" the test, but by passing the test and getting the promotion, I lost out on a separation incentive payment.

I won my settlement after 24 years with the VA for my disability claim.

I'm 55. I would've outlived my medieval counterpart by a couple of decades.

I win at life...

hey man good loving run at everything but as a dude that played (sometimes plays) everquest LOL you know just how unhappy you really are.
