Have you ever won anything? If so, what did you win? What type of contest/giveaway was it?
Do you enter contest online? Have you ever won anything that way?
I enter contest occasionally and have won a few things. When I was younger I used to win Six Flags tickets a lot.
I started trying to enter contests online, but it is so hard to tell which are real and which aren't.

Yes, I did win in contests a few time. I won 2 Nokia mobile phones from a contest that used to be organized by Nokia (worldwide) online. It was called Nokia Game, and the winners were chosen according to the highest scores in the games. Now, it is stopped.
I also won 3 goodie bags from our TV provider. The first one was a Discovery Channel, while the second one was a Cartoon Network goodie bag. The third one was from TCM. I remember also winning a Pin Ball game back when I was in kindergarten. The contest was the well known game called 'The Musical Chairs'. I had a good strategy that brought me to the first place :)

Well, I used to run quickly whenever I was away of the chairs, and then walk slowly in front of them. I was like leading the pace of the other children. In the end, I was left with 2 girls who were really slow (after getting rid of all the boys :)), so it was relatively easy to get the first spot :)

I called in to a radio show once and won a disco CD. I KNEW I knew the answer to their trivia question and that most people wouldn't. So I won. I don't usually enter contests, though, because I rarely win. Especially online - I think 9 times out of ten, you sign up and all you end up with is junk mail and spam emails!

So far, i haven't been lucky at all.. I do join contests, radio contest or online contests, or even ones from the local newspaper. But haven't won anything yet..
I did apply for the freebie cd of the week, though, on the national radio website.. and they usually just choose 20 people to give it away to.. and i managed to score one. It was the latest Goo Goo Dolls CD. Does that counts as winning anything?? lol!
