Are you always happy with the prize won at lucky draw?

I've been to a casino once, when I watched a concert at Casino Filipino in Manila. The guard even asked for my id card because they thought that I was a not allowed to enter the place. But well since it's my first time to be in a casino, my aunt let me try some games there. (Her husband was a casino worker that time). I won tokens which not made me happy at all because I really wanted to have that sparkling keychain. I really don't have an idea that I have won a better prize that what I'm aiming for.

i haven't won any major prize yet at some draws or something. some of the prizes i have won are books, bags, school supplies, stuff toys, rice cooker, electric fan, airpot, dining wares, christmas decors, gift certificates mostly worth about $5-$10-$20 and cash prizes of about $20 mostly. except for the stuff toys, books, cash and gift certificates which i have won on the spot... i've given away everything else to whoever wants to pick it up from where the prize was drawn. since i travel a lot and prizes are won at different areas a bit far from home, it would be inconvenient as well as impractical for me to get the prizes myself. so if one of my friends called me to inform me of the prize, i will just give it to him/her for my appreciation of his/her call. i'm always happy that i have won something and grateful for whatever prize it may be. but i have to be practical also if it's worth getting it myself. i know that the prizes i have won and given away were needed and appreciated by my friends so we're all happy with the set-up.

Recently I entered a raffle at a friend's daughter's school (my girls used to go there also before we moved). Since she is in LA and I am in Sacramento, I asked her to select a give that would be easy to mail, like gift cards. Well, they did the raffle differently this year and you get what you get. I won a coffee maker. Kind of hard to mail. So when I was in LA, she gave it to me. I wasn't too thrilled about taking a coffeemaker on the plane home. If I had driven it would have been OK. So I gave the coffeemaker to my Aunt and Cousin to keep if they wanted, and sell on e-bay if they didn't want it.

Hello Scheng1!!! At least you got than thing. What exactly is it I don't understand. I am not been able to even get selected in the lucky dram for the consolation at all. When it comes to lottery, I always return empty handed. I have lived about 21 years of life and still, no any winnings in lottery. So don't ask me, it hurts . I want to feel the happiness of winning a lottery in my life hehe... Happy mylotting...

Well, I'm usually quite happy if I really win a lucky draw prize. So far, the biggest prize I had won is a Toshiba laptop. As I got no use for it, I sold the laptop over at eBay, and got back some cash... There's also another prize I had won many years ago, which I thought was quite unique. It was a special "fans" gathering for Wakin (Emil) Chau in a special room. Only less than 100 of us were able to go there and listen to his singing and talking for around 1.5 hours. At the end of the session, there's even a special autograph signing and photography session.

There was a raffle drawing in my community a few months back where I won 500.00 USD! I was so happy! I'm sad to hear your prize kind of sucked but it's free so take that and run with it! I just used my prize to pay off one bill and from there I'm still living life the way it was before I had one. Not such a big prize but a very helpful one. :)

scheng1, First of all, congratulations on your recent luck with the lucky draw. Nowadays, lucky draw items are never much of a fancy unless they are rank at the top 3, if you know what I mean. Nevertheless, I am always happy to win a prize in any draw in the namesake of novelty. In all my years, I have won numerous prizes i.e. shopping vouchers, cinema passes, electrical appliances, travel accessories, costume jeweleries, decoration ornaments, hotel free stays and even air tickets. In all, these are most of the time done in the name of goodwill and promotion sake. Yet, through it all, just accept it and you can never win everything and everytime like what's the use of a 3 nights hotel accommodation at a 5 star overseas beach resort when the only way to enjoy it will be to buy a double return air or ferry ticket? Not forgetting to add some budget allowance for expenses on meals and sightseeing. As for your situation, I will just go about and find out when the claim is expiring and if I can help it make some holiday plans. After all, I am sure holidays are around the corner so why not?So, I hope that your lady luck will continue to be with you, who knows you might just strike the grand jackpot on this trip. Have a nice day. P.S. Oh, in case you did win that grand jackpot, don't forget about your friend here.

I have never won a drawing, believe it or not! If you don't want that prize, save your money and let them have it. You are actually paying for your "winnings" when you have to travel there and pay for accommodation. I just looked at Valentino and some of their bags are going for nearly $3,000! They are ugly. You could probably sell it on eBay to someone here in the States, where they love that kind of stuff and the brand is popular. But it doesn't make sense to spend money just to get a really ugly bag that you don't want.

Yes, of course, no question about it :-p It is lucky when we win, it is a suprise so why not happy? I hae never won at a lucky draw though so I would be very very excited if I won one time in the future!

I do not win often, but when it happens I'm always happy and greatful, regardless the prize won! Honestly, I am more happy about being the lucky one to win the prize, rather than the amouny of money involved. My last win was at bingo, altough I won only a few pounds it was great fun!

Hi Scheng, To be honest, NO. Because there is difference between the ideality and reality!The more your expect, you more disappointment you will get. To me, lucky draw is just a smart way to let the customer spend money and everyone think they are that lucky, but unfortunately we are not that lucky as we thought we are.. I am sure everyone likes surpirse. Just take it as a surprise for yourself, that might make you feel better.

luckey draw prize is always a good thing yaar..No need to say that we are happy..It is always splended us...Once what happen I purchased a lotto ticket in my country..And I won only 500 buggs But I was so happy that It was splending me a lot...And in happiness of that I done a 1000 buggs party ...By this u can guess that howmuch foolness can create in u if u won anything from lottery

In some promo or parlor games any kind of prizes I have I'm happy cos it is for lucky.

Yes of course i am happy, why should we unhappy winning the prize at lucky draw while everyone has tried hard to get it ?? It is a gift that God has given to us, so we should be grateful of what we've got.

I can not remember the last time I even entered anything like that. I doubt that the prize is worth an equal amount of what it will cost you to travel to redeem it. Those things are usually about getting you to spend money.
