Ever win anything?

I have a heap of trophies from dog shows.

Never won anything valuable, like a car or a holiday or a fat pile of folding!

I won the admiration of my work collegues doing a fun Gangnam Style dance off during Melbourne Cup luncheon. Old man still has a few moves.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Giftcards for $25 and under.
A backpack with some freebies in it.
A portable cooler and a set of coffee mugs.
Powered toothbrush. (retail was around $100)
New keyboard & mouse long ago.
Pair of isotoner gloves & ear muffs.
Lots of free product coupons.

My aunt won a car when I was around 17, she was going through a divorce at the time and he was fighting with her over giving her the car (a beat up trans am that kept breaking down), tearing the radio and speakers out when she parked it to go to school.

He about shit himself when she drove up in her shiny new car and gave him back the keys. Couldn't of happened to anyone that needed it more at that moment. It was one of those mall giveaways were you fill out a ticket and stuff it in a big box with a thousand others.

I won a Dreamcast when I was 11

Also got a piece published in a Young Writers magazine, but can't remember if that was competition-style of just sumbissions

My dog's won Prettiest Bitch (lol) and my cat has won a Dreamies competition and obviously the recent cat awards one

I won a DVD player once too

Hardly ever play the lottery anymore.

Did win 3,000+ on the big four one year, I was working at the store and played the plate number of a car that came in...3232.

I never did that, it was weird, I couldn't take my eyes off that plate. The machine was getting ready to shut down for the drawing, so only managed to get a few tickets.

The best thing I ever won was Prince Albert's heart.  Simply made him laugh.

I used to win lego contests, but the age cut off was always 12 so that got shut down too soon.  :(

Won a short story contest in high school and a historical fiction contest in middle school for the diary of an early settler, which was a school assignment.

I used to do league ten pin bowling and I won a trophy once for most improved bowler. It was hard not to improve, I was really bad at first.
