Same here! I always turn those drawings down because I don't want to be put on a mailing list and and up with junk mail, but maybe I'm passing some good stuff up!
 
I don't usually win anything, but last year I won a draw (that I didn't even know I was in!). I won an Aroma Complete Essential Oil kit of 140 oils worth around US$2,500. At the time that converted to NZ$3,500.

I entered a radio contest "For the Birds"
I won a 4 peep/4 day trip to Worlds of fun. birdhouses, bird feeders,
all kinds of bird books and a year supply of birdseed.

next week I shall win the powerball :thumbup: {I dont buy tickets}
 
I've never won big stuff, just little things.

I won a reflector from ClickinMoms on one of their blog contests.

I won an ipod from a drawing for a conference I attended.

That's about it!

Carrie - my parents totally love the Price Is Right so it's likely they saw your show lol I remember that show from my kid days.
 
Wow - some of you have won the coolest stuff!!!

I hear you, Kristin - it makes me want to enter more contests! haha
 
I did today!! hahaha I found a website/blog that shares all sorts of ones available to canadians..maybe i'll be able to come back here one day and post about my winnings. hahaha
 
I can't recall winning anything by chance.

I did however win an Australian Geographic (magazine) photography/writing competition where I had to submit an article/photos of a wilderness type place I'd been to - I won a Nikon SLR (pre-digital days) and had my entry published in the magazine. That was pretty cool!
 
I've won some concert tickets in the past, tickets to a 3 day music festival for myself and 4 friends (tents and sleeping bags included) and a 3 day trip to Disneyland Paris. But the past 5 years I haven't won anything anymore.
 
Wow! You guys have won some amazing things!!! I'm with Kristin - I want to win something now too!
 
I won a silhouette portrait in a blog giveaway a few years ago.
I won an ipad mini and apple tv in an author giveaway last november.

that's about it for my winnings. ever. lol

That is cool! Do you still have the magazine?

Sure do (somewhere). I haven't looked for it in years. I think they digitised all past issues of the magazine too, so I should also go check that.
 
Hubby and I won a contest on our radio station a couple times for $1000 (plus full CD collections of the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkle) since we had great speed dial phones at work back before everyone had them. :D

We also won a trip to LA, which was a promotional giveaway for a new tv show about two guys (Mark & Brian) who would try crazy or dangerous things. That was a pretty fun trip - we toured LA and Catalina Island, went bowling with LA Lakers cheerleaders and sang as backup on a song that was being recorded.

The weirdest thing I won was a "gummy pumpkin" given away by a candy store in the mall. My mom entered my name when she was visiting me at college. It was a big plastic pumpkin FULL of different kinds of gummy candy. I was pretty popular in my dorm for a while. :D
 
I don't win very often, for as much as I enter contests!! I win stuff here sometimes, and that makes me happy!!

Other than that, the only thing I can think that I won was a gas grill while I was shopping at the commissary when we lived in TX in 2014. They called out the first person to come up wearing a Dallas Cowboys shirt would win. I ran :D I was so excited to win something!! We just this month upgraded and got a bigger grill, but we didn't have one when I won it, so that was nice!
 
Last year at Easter at church - the kids' area had drawings each hour for things, my little girl won Chick-fil-a for a year - it was 52 coupons for a free chick-fil-a sandwich from one of the local restaurants she doesn't even like the sandwiches lol, but her brothers do so she was happy because whenever we would go she got nuggets like she likes and they both got sandwiches.
 
I was going to say I'd never won a year of anything but then I remembered I got a year of Peppermint Creative goodies for free when I won the Digital's Next Top Scrapper competition way back when. :D

This thread has been so much fun to read (and some of you have been incredibly lucky with your winnings!).

When I was around 12 years old, I was on a kids TV game show and won the consolation prize of many packs of Maggi 2-Minute Noodles (instant ramen, basically!).

As a teen, I won $500 in an internet scavenger hunt which was a lot of money to me at around age 18 or so. The money went towards buying a new computer if I remember rightly.

As an adult, nothing super-huge or exciting, mostly little Instagramelated product wins here or there.
 
I clearly need to enter more contests. ;)

I've won little things... free scrapbooking kits, coupons, etc. as well as an occasional gift card from a drawing or something but no big prizes.
