| What is the biggest prize you have ever won? Just wondering how lucky everyone is?????? My husband entered this contest thru a radio station. We received a letter that he was a qualifier and had to go to Huntington, WV to try a key Thursday nite. There were 36 qualifiers and only 34 showed up. They pulled names out of a box at random and you had to pick a sealed envelope, rip it open, and try your key. There were only 8 keys left when my husband's name was called. His key turned out to be the lucky one that turned the lights on the 2008 Harley Davidson Sportster!!!!!!!!! We Won!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable!!!! This bike was custom painted in a two-tone blue and sponsored by Miller Lite! We also got his and her custom Miller Lite leather jackets!!!!!!!! Still can't believe it. It is like a dream. We never win anything. It was so exciting. Definitely something to remember for a lifetime! When my husband registered, I was joking with him that if he won that bike I would learn to ride. He made me shake on it. So........ We are keeping the bike and I am going to learn to ride. (My husband already has a bike.) I am so excited!!!!!!!! So, has anyone elso ever won anything that they want to tell their story about???????? Any other lucky people out there???????

| That's awesome! The biggest thing I have won was $1000 at Bingo. I have won it a few times over the years. I go to Bingo with my dad almost every week.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I personally have NEVER, EVER, won anything in my life, not even on the small children birthday parties, or where they had raffles. On the other hand I've been blessed with great family and friends, if only I could win the lottery, I would have the best of both worlds, now wouldn't I???

| I guess technically since it was my husband who won, the biggest prize that I ever won was a GPS system and I also won $250 at bingo one time. I think the Harley is the biggest anyone in my family has ever won. It would be nice if everyone could win the lottery!!!! I too consider myself very lucky to have a wonderful husband and two great kids! They are the best things to happen in my life and I don't think the lottery could even top my family!

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | Wow...Congrats! I know you were Thrilled!! You must post those pics when you learn to ride it!! Several years ago, I bought a raffle ticket from a young girl @work that was there part-time. It was for her church......I never expected to win.....just really doing this for her & that it was for a good cause. Had completely forgotten about it & well, I was so surprised to find out, YES, I won. I now have a Beautiful Handmade Mahogany Pencil Post Queen Bed!

| Cool! I think that is how it usually works.....you win when you least expect it! I will try and post pics later. If anyone wants to read about it or see the photos on the radio station website. This is the site: WDGG - Big Night at Pullman Square I am so happy I could burst! It feels so good when something nice happens to you, then you want to spread the feeling on to others by doing nice things for them.

Seriously - that's AWESOME to win a harley - hell any motorcycle would be great - but you got top of the line ! you guys must be on the moon - I think the biggest thing I've ever won was a trifecta at the horse races (the smallest payout of the night) - the best part was I got to rub my husbands (RIP) face in the fact that he was the serious better....while me - the bimbo blond - picked the cute names and WON Chanel won a nice prize for the Worlds Coolest Dog Dogster Contest - I got wine and some computer stuff for my photo - then....the other day winning something in the UYR Raffle - whoo hoo - Thanks Tiggerwit & YT! But nothing beats a HARLEY ~! That's sooooooooooo cool | |

| I have won things so rarely that I can name them all! A case of girl scout cookies from a radio call-in show. Circa 1980 $50 quick win lottery ticket. Circa 1987 YT raffle - dress from LuvMySissy (thank you) YT raffle - purse from Tiggerwit (thank you and thanks to Peanut too) But I still consider myself to be very, very lucky.

| I've won at bingo and on the slots, but I won a radio contest and won a $2500 gift certificate for a Jewlery store so I think that was the neatest thing that I won but that was over 10 years ago. I did win in the YT Raffle which shocked me to death. |

I know the indian reservations pay big money. But there is none around here. And there are always a lot of people there. They even give cars, etc away.
