Have you ever won a big prize? A house, car, or large some of cash for example? How did you win it? Personally i've won diddly squat even inspite of enterning many competitions. Is the theory that the more competitions you enter the greater your chance of winning something accurate?

The biggest prize I ever won was a trip to Disney World. IT was wonderful! I think the more contests you enter, the greater chance you have of winning.

I think winning things is just the luck of the draw. I won a brand new car and $5000.00, once in Atlantic City.
I was off of work one Friday, and decided to go to A/C, a hostess came up to me and asked if I would like to enter a drawing for a car, not really interested in it I said yes, so I filled out the form.
In order to be a winner you had to be at the casino on the day of the drawing.
On that day I decided to take off of work and go back. Not thinking that I would be the winner, I was not really into the drawing. They called names out of a barrel of thousands of entrants, to win $500.00, if the person was not there they would draw another name. After all five $500.00 prizes were awarded, they called the name for the big winner, which would be the car. By this time I had enough, and was leaving the auditorium, as I was living I heard my name, I could not believ it. I ran down those stairs to the stage like I was on the price is right Everyone was hi fiving me as I went by.
So, that was my biggest win ever.
Ironically, the car was stolen about four years later, and I received the book value from the insurance company, so it was a win win situation.

I enter a lot of competitions.
I haven't won a car yet but I do know a lady that has.
You can see her near the end of this utube video http://www.youtube.com/v/ZWfukezslAA
This is for competitions in Australia. The lady is also a member of lottos.com.au a competitions portal for Australians.
Anyway, everyone is a winner here.

No. But I'm ever hopeful!
The odds are huge so I'm not holding my breath waiting for a big win.
But I can dream. Oh yes, it is one of my best dreams is winning a big one and enjoying all the things I would do with the money.

The biggest prize I ever won in life is the love and care of my family and my life-partner. This love will remain the biggest prize of my life.
