Have you ever won anything which involves luck? Like contests? Raffles? Lottery?
I have to say, my luck stinks when it comes to winning anything which involves luck. The only time I have ever won was during our office Christmas party. I've some cash at a raffle but even then that was something like a consolation prize, nothing big. Oh, and at this pay per click site, they have a click contest which I sometimes win. The prize is like .5 of a cent.
I have an officemate who is SO lucky when it comes to raffles. When she enters raffles, she almost always win. Lucky b*stard. LOL.
How about you, have you ever won anything?

just like you, i am not that lucky when it comes to raffles and lotteries. there are so many times i filled out forms to join raffles but i never had my name drawn. hehehe. and i am never good in numbers so i never won lotteries, too.
but well, i guess not all people could be as lucky as others.

Hello, maryanne! It's been a while. You and me are both unlucky with this kind of stuff. Yeah, I guess some people are just born to be lucky.

I have won a few things online and also in "real" life but just like u, never anything big. I can be pretty lucky at times, however I do not "gamble or play" that much. I guess if I would I would also increase my chanses of winning some =)

Oh, I could never gamble. No matter how lucky you are, I think you'll always lose in gambling. Contests are another thing. Well, if you consider yourself lucky, you should try joining raffles and contests more. You never know, you might win something big this time.

I don't consider myself a lucky person. I had my share of bad luck uptill now (I hope there will be no more). As to your question, I've won prizes in some contests, but most of them weren't about luck as they were competitions. The only contests that I won in, and which involved luck, were those held by our satellite TV provider. The odds were a bit high that I won more than once. The prizes were most of the times goody bags or merchandise.

Well, I think it's better to win competitions because you actually work hard for that.

I remember the first thing I won was in a raffle. I must have been about 8 years old. I was at the mall with my neighbor who was watching me that day. I didn't think I had a chance in winning anything as there were a bunch of kids that had signed up for it. But my neighbor told me to try anyway. So I figured I might as well give it a shot. I didn't win 1st prize, a big box of construx (sp?). Anyway, I was getting ready to leave with my neighbor when there was a second drawing for 2nd prize. Imagine my surprise when my name was called! LOL So the box was a lot smaller, but I was so amazed I won something I didn't really care! LOL
I've gone to bingo with my mom 3 times. 2 of those times I won. The first time it was $250 and the second time was $43. The cost for the bingo cards was about $20 each time, so in the end I still came out ahead.
The last time I won something was at the lottery. I can't remember if it was Super Lotto or Mega Millions. I ended up winning $10. That's the highest amount I've won so far in playing lotto. I usually only win 1 or 2 dollars, if I do win at all. That reminds me, I need to play! ;) LOL
By the way, for those of you that don't know what construx is you can read about it here: http://www.thisoldtoy.com/fisher-price/dept-7-playsets/f-construx/a-construx-index.html

Wow, then you're pretty lucky. I never won anything when gambling. I guess because I never really gambled, except in Lotto of course but I can't even win a measly dollar!

No, I have not, won, not much, not really. Except once. I won a coupon. Guess for what? smile. an exhaust pipe for a car. At the time I won it I did not need new exhaust pipe. But somewhen later I did and actually could trade this coupon for a new exhaust system.
I think this was an extremly odd prize.
It was the most I ever got.

LOL. Yes, it's a strange prize, but I bet it's not for those who like to mess around with their cars.

I actually only won twice in raffles in my whole life. The first one being in this Grand EB party for tipidpc.com (it's a website that sells low-priced PC parts and also a forum at the same time), I was really surprised when they called my name coz I wasn't expecting to win since I've always been unlucky in raffles. I won a keyboard and a webcam. It felt really nice ^_______^ Then the latest happened during our office christmas party last year. I won a flat iron. I gave it to my aunt since i won't be using it. ^__________^
