I didn't win the 1 Million Dollars!

The other day I did a post about a competition I entered. The competition was to keep a certain brand of pizza in the freezer. If your house is selected, they will knock on the door, and if you answer the door within 3 minutes, show them you have a frozen pizza, you will win 1 million dollars.
And I didn't win! Well darn it! But I did enjoy eating the pizza!
I'm thinking of entering lots of other competitions though. You got to be in it to win it!
Have you ever entered a competition and won? What did you win?

@LadyDuck That's ok. It all sounded very exciting but a lot of Aussies entered so I didn't really think I would be lucky. Like yourself, I am not exactly lucky when it comes to stuff like that but I like to try.
I'm sorry you've never won before. I don't understand how some people can never win while others win all the time. Like what gives?

I'm sorry to her that you didn't win. I haven't really won anything. I did win a draw back in high school. There was a lecture given at our school, which a few of us couldn't attend due to the drama club rehearsals, but they were giving 2500$ for bursaries for cegep/college things and such. My name was the one they picked. Probably one of the only things I've ever really won.

I entered several competitions in the past. I think my best price, at least the more funny, was when I compete for an Arctic cruise. I did not won the cruise, but I won a consolation prize : a hot water bottle.
I used to do a daily competition on a French quizz site now disappeared. There were about 1000 people competing every evening at 8 pm by teams of 5 for a free quizz (the site was offering also a competition with an entrance fee), and the top 10 was earning a bit of money : $1 for the members of the first team... $0.10 for the members of the 10th team. My team was 2 or 3 days/week among the top 10, and I earned more than $100 on this site.

@VivaLaDani13 The hot water bottle was unexpected, but it should have been useful for an arctic cruise.

I've entered a few competitions in my life . . . but one I think you will find funny - relating to your post. It was paper art competition . . . and I kid you not that I entered a paper pizza - with all the toppings - and put in a pizza box. I doubt the prize was anywhere near a million dollars, but I didn't win either . . . I just got a participant poster with all the entries on it .

Sorry you didn't win. I usually do not buy lottery tickets because you are more likely to be killed by a vending machine falling on you than winning.

@gilggg Exactly. I really prefer entering competitions that don't cost me anything. Like Lotto tickets for example. I've never bought one before and I just can't bring myself to buying one because that's a good way to waste money.

@VivaLaDani13 If there's nothing to lose it's worth it. Sometimes just the feeling that it could happen makes good feeling (And easily take the loss)

I recently won a drawing for a $10 gift card from Amazon. That's about the only thing I've ever won even though I often enter contests and sweepstakes. I was really pleased to win that. I'm sorry you did not win the money, that would have been a wonderful thing! You'll undoubtedly have other chances and I wish you luck!

About 10 years ago I entered a Mother's Day Drawing through a Christian radio station.
I was on the phone with my mom and she was telling me the odds were not in my favor when I got a call on the other line--it was the radio station calling to let me know I had won!
The prize? A limo for the day, a gift card (I think it was $200) to our local mall, a dinner at a fancy restaurant (worth up to $300), and a manicure/pedicure for 4 at a salon.
I ended up taking my mom, my sister, and my grandma (as we were all mothers). We all went out to the restaurant, too (including my step-dad, hubby, and kids) in the limo.

@YouKnowWho The chances are pretty slim when it comes to lotto. Way too many people enter it anyway. It really does come down to luck. I think it would be better just to save that money instead of wasting it on tickets.
