I thought we could share a motivating thread by posting our wins. - I've won a Cusinart Food Processor ($190 RV) - $50 gift card to Chapters - $50 gift card to Future Shop - DVDS (Scream 4, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind) - Blu Rays (Paranomal Activity 3, Shame) - Essie limited edition nail polish - Entire Organix Brazilian hair care line
The only thing I can think of that I have won, is a $25 gift card to Walmart. There's not anything else that's coming up.
The last thing I won was a pair of movie tickets to see the latest Twilight flick from Seventeen Magazine. The first prize I ever won was the soundtrack to the Nickelodeon show "All That." I usually win a lot of little things like $5 gift cards. Oh, now I remember, I did get a $5 gift card to Target last week from Rewardtv. That was pretty nice.
Hmmm... my most recent memory is winning 2 contests in a row in a forum. You had to reply to a thread, and could win $100 for that. I won 2 times, everyone thought I was a lucky bastard. But I think it's the only thing I've won
Every little thing counts! I have a pretty decent list of wins, but I actively enter giveaways and contests. The best is when its something you can actually use and is therefore saving you money. But the Wii and Xbox win is pretty amazing! Pretty high retail value for that package.
I have won a few things during my life so far.. The first thing I ever won was a membership to the YMCA, I believe I was about 10 years old at the time. A few years later, when I was in 6th grade, I won an iMac computer. I also won smaller items such as a coupon for a free hair dye kit and a box of styling products. I guess I have been somewhat lucky so far in my life, but really haven't won anything huge yet..
The best thing I won from an online giveaway was a rice cooker. Not just any rice cooker either. It was worth over 300 bucks, is completely digital and automated for a dozen different styles of rice. It's simply amazing.
That is a very exciting win! Prizes like those are the best because it is actually practical and useful, and someone you can consistently use. And of course, it would at no cost to you. What website did you win from, if you don't mind my asking?
Wow, sounds like you've won lots of stuff! The only thing I have won was a chemical peel treatment. I was really excited because it was worth quite a bit of money.
I won $60 online courtesy of me doing some rapping. I was horrible and I didn't know why I actually won. But it felt good though especially since the people appreciated the lyrics in my rap. Never thought I'd won though. My win was truly unexpected.
The last two posts are very interesting wins! How did the chemical peel go? Did you notice a dramatic difference in your skin? And the rapping contest win is especially interesting. Good for you, and winning money is the best prize.
Fun thread! Let's see...here is a list of the things I can remember winning in the last few years: $1,200 at an Indian casino (on a 25 cent slot machine, playing my last 6 quarters...weeeee) An $80 Christmas rug from Shaw rugs Movie tickets for 4 to see Tangled A $150 necklace for my mom by submitting an article on why she's the best mom $50 twice on a spin to win on Opinionoutpost.com Oh, and just recently I won a downloadable Snapple calendar. Okay, my husband just told me to post that I also won his heart. What a sweet lug!
I won one of those indoor basketball units when I was a kid, definitely one of the happiest moments right there.
I don't remember. It was from a blog contest, though, so all I had to do was leave a comment or something silly. It looks like this:
The chemical peel was awesome, so relaxing. My skin looked so polished afterwards. However, the woman who did the treatment didn't think I needed it.
I have won 2 contests, but I have won a few times in the casinos. The two contests I won was: $100 and the other was a book called Green Made Easy. The casinos have been good to me in the past - $1484 Atlantic City penny machine, $900 Atlantic City dollar machine (literally the first spin when I walked in the door), total of about $1600 across a couple machines in an Atlantic City trip, $2000 Atlantic City on a quarter machine and there were other amounts along the way but these were my biggest ones. I used to get a lot of free gifts from the casinos too, but I don't count them as a contest because they give them away to sucker you into the casino. Please note tho that I do not encourage gambling. It definitely is a better chance that you will lose then win, never spend money you can't afford. These winnings above were spread out among multiple casino trips, some trips were not so exciting.
Let's see. I won a Flipshare Camcorder in a photo like contest for a friend on Facebook the year before last. I was so proud of that win until six months later when the software was no longer compatible. I won a single cup Black and Decker coffee pot last week in an Amazon promotion. I've used it a ton since I got it too!
I won one time at a casino it was $400. It was my second time gambling, and I didn't know it at first, but then I saw the machine light up, and the people that worked there gave me a nice pay day. That's the only thing that I've won in my life, but I hope it's not the last.
