QOTD - 8.16.2011

When was the last time (or have you ever) won a prize?

Re: QOTD - 8.16.2011

  • Last summer I think.  I won a little bag of groceries (coffee, paper towel, ziplock bags, etc.) at our family reunion.

  • $20 scratch lotto ticket on Friday night.  (We usually buy ten $1 tickets and play drinking games with friends {winners get to scratch!  lol so dumb} and usually split the winnings - its really dumb, but it's something that my H enjoys and we are usually only out about $5 each time we do it.  We actually won $120 the weekend before.)

    And then this:

  • I think it was the iPod on FBHW about a year ago.
  • At my nephew's preschool fundraiser a few years ago.  I won three different raffle prizes and for the life of me cannot remember what they were.  I felt weird that I won three times and felt like I had people giving me the stink eye every time they called my name!

  • at a blogging conference about a month ago I won $250 worth of board games. The children's ones I gave away but now we have a nice stash for parties!
  • $50 GC to Meijer for being in second place for my work's weight loss challenge (based on percent of body weight lost).

  • I won a gold medal at my family's yard game Olympics at the reunion (that's kind of a long story).

    The last time I won something of value.... I'm not sure.  My inlaws usually give us lotto tickets for Easter (because, you know, nothing says "Jesus has risen" like the Michigan lottery) and I win small amounts on those from time to time.

  • There might have been some smaller things since then...can't really remember...but in 2010 I got to stay at a gorgeous all-inclusive resort in Mexico for five nights completely FREE after some pretty awesome people helped me win a contest. Wink

    Seriously choked on my water trying to stifle a laugh.
