I won a "VIP trip" from Yamaha to the Superbikes event on Phillip Island. The email went into spam of course with a post script like "If you don't reply to this within X days we will re-issue the prize" so I went a bit frantic trying to get into contact with them. Luckily I did actually get the prize despite it being past X days so I took my Dad and we had a good time. The sweepstakes was supposedly worth $5000 but if you add up the flights, accommodation, and the entry to the event it was probably only $2K, but still nothing to sneeze at for free obviously.

I remembered another one, when I won a "Year's Supply of Shapes" (savoury crackers.) There was a stupid web game you had to play and get onto a leaderboard, and all the scores on the leaderboard were from obvious cheaters. So I cheated too and got somewhere on the leaderboard, and other people who cheated quickly beat down my score. But at the end of the competition for some reason all the truly highest scores were scrubbed, but still leaving the cheating scores below them. So I won a prize, which was 52 boxes of Shapes, but you could only choose a single flavour, so it wasn't even that useful a prize.

topher2915 posted:Sure. So before you go they call send take your measurements for clothes. You fly out there and they have a private room in the airport, right return you get off the plane your luggage disappears and they have a big buffet and drinks in the room. Then a bus comes and gets you to take you to the ranch, which is actually a small private town on the ranch, made up to look like a western town. You go to your room and the bed is full of boots, jackets, hats, smokes, all kind of poo poo. Is this real? It sounds like Westworld...
