The first ever prize that I got to win was from a University event that I participated in at our school. We were suppose to sell tickets but, I couldn't sell them at all.. or did I ever try to sell them so I bought all fifty plus tickets.
I wasn't really expecting to win but, after that event, I was just informed by my classmate that I won something. At first I really didn't believe her but, she led me to the board where my name was enlisted.
By the end of the day, I brought home a stand fan that we still use up to now. (^_^ )
These days, even I do try to join raffles.. so far.. not winning..
On contest... I guess if I think I can really compete, I guess I would. (^_^")

oh at least you won something. It would have been really bad if you bought all 59 tickets and didn't win at all. haha.

Well I have won the contest before but that was like years ago and I have not won anything since then. The last one that I have won was a 4 days hotel voucher for two in a holiday city. Yeah we sort of celebrating but we still have to pay the airline ticket for two to get into there hehehe.

hi my dear friend, ihave won some times when i participated. when i was in tenth standard , in education line i was crowned the Miss and then when i was doing Fashion Designing, i entered a schol;arship test and got admission and then there too i won award for the best designs . then when i was in my job i completed my target and i was given a certificate as well as a small trophey and a raise in my salary because i grew very fast in my working line. i mean i succeded fast.it was my luck too, you can say, because all what i was touching and trying to do, was turning positive. so my graph zoomed very fast.i joined as a temporary executive to follow sales and i reached customer care head and my salary was also raised and the whole package was improved. i participated in a fashion show and i was crowned there too. so with all my efforts, my GOD and my good luck was hundred percent with me that time.

Congratulations! I think a competition you win on skill means more than one based on luck. I used to enter competitions regularly and was lucky enough to win grocery vouchers, books, Alton Towers tickets,a years supply of cheese (about 8ounces a week) a years supply of chocolate (365 bars!!!) and a Vauxhall Astra (which I drove for 13years till it gave up on me just 18months ago.

hey thanks.
yeah, that's true, i'm not really that good in winning by chance or even popularity contests... haha.... you know, contests with voting and stuff. Sometimes when i did join some of them in school (like classroom or school elections) i'd end up one or two places down from the winner. A few times i ended up at the bottom list. Haha. =)
Maybe it's not meant for me... haha.

CongratulationsYou must be really excited about winning something. Well done.
I have been very lucky myself in the past. I won a mini chopper razor bike from a quix site and a few hundred pounds from it too, all free to enter as I don't gamble and years ago I won an art competiton when I was at school for raod safety.

Congrats to you. So where can we see this winning T-shirt at? I usually don't win very many thigs so when I do I am so thrilled. The coolest thing I have ever won was a bachelorette bag from the bachelor show rose ceromeny game. It was filled with clothes, hair stuff, perfume, and other goodies. I almost passed it up though thinking it was a scam. I received an e mail stating I had won and had to send them my personal info in five days. I am glad I took the chance. I finally got my bag and was like a kid at christmas doing the happy dance.

A long time ago, I joined a radio contest and the prize was a concert ticket. It was only a ticket for one person, so I ended up not going. My friend who planned to join me changed her mind and didn't go, so I had no company. I didn't win anything on any contests that has to do with showing certain talents like t-shirt design and other kinds. I did win many times in a raffle, such as a refrigerator, TV, washing machine and some cash. Good luck in your future contests!

i've never won anything through chance or raffles... not unless everybody gets a prize in the drawing, that's the only time i do get something. Haha...
Thanks for the good luck people! I'll be needing it. =)

I actually won a t-shirt contest too, to design a t-shirt for a band. I got 5th place out of over 500 entries. My prize was a CD anthology as well as a t-shirt with my design. I got the CDs but they accidentally sent me the wrong t-shirt. I'm gonna have to request that they send me one with my design I guess. It's probably just an innocent mix-up.
The other place where I've won a lot of contests is SWATcash. On my first month there I won a $600 iPhone in their monthly contest. I've won a lot of contests since then too.
Congrats on winning your contest! It is always a nice feeling to see your name on a winner's list. :]
