The last raffle was to raise money for rescue. We have raffles from time to time where people can donate prizes and anyone on YT can buy a ticket. It's so much fun! The raffle is ended now, but this link can explain it to you. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...le-2008-a.html

I'm actually pretty lucky. My family always wants to know "what did you win now"? The biggest thing I've won was a trip to Los Angeles. I've also won a Father's Day contest. It was a whole bunch of gifts for guys, worth $500. My dh really liked that. I won $100 a few months ago in my church raffle. I won a video game system, a basket full of stuff from my bank, and lots of other stuff. What's weird is I've actually NEVER played the lottery, EVER.

When I was a senior in college - I was one of hundreds of lucky callers to get thru on the phone lines and then invited to hear about cruises. Hundreds of people packed into a hotel ballroom where they were going to give away a crusie for 2. I was sitting way at the back with a girlfriend then they called one name. I heard this crazy girl scream - and then realized that was me screaming

I won a 7 day Caribbean cruise

Then about 6 mths later the same radio station was having a special promotion about some movie coming out. I went with 3 other people - there were so few people there, almost everybody won something - but I won the grand prize - more than $3,000 in home entertainment equipment - including a tv, vcr, video camera

Congrats on the big PRIZE!! Be careful out there on the road

I've been lucky on sports boards over the years, and lottery tickets. I've also won quite a few things from raffles, and I did win a beautiful surf board (value $750)a few years ago. I put $5.00 in a slot machine in Vegas and won $700, but a vehicle? sorry to say no. Congrats on the cycle. That's awesome!

That's amazing!! Congratulations!!! I won a TV but it was only worth about 200.00

I found the prize egg ($50) in an Easter egg hunt when I was 10...but that is the closest I've ever came to winning anything How sad!!

The way I look at it, I'm due for something BIG any time now HA!!

Hmm I won a chance to have a few of my poems published, i thought that was pretty cool.

From the posts, seems like these radio stations really give out the most prizes.

Don't worry guys, I am going to take a Rider's Edge Course and of course my husband has been riding for a long time.

Still in shock over this, guess it won't be real til the bike is parked in my garage. (waiting on paperwork....)

Thanks for all the congrats! I am so excited!!!

500 $ on a Monopoly Ticket ...... getting the cash was a lot harder then we thought though .....

[ellie81]

mmm, I usually don't win anything... but once I won a 7-day stay at a hotel, so that that pretty cool. It kinda looks like my winning luck began & expired that day

[oopsmyhalofello]

That is awesome! I would be over the moon excited.

I've haven't won much in my time, I've had a handful of small change scratch offs, $80 at the local casino and when I was a kid I won a kite from a cereal box and they never actually sent it to me. LOL

I've never really "won"...including in last year's raffle (forgot to get in this year )...This past June when we were in Kansas City for the meet-up, I went to the casino, my first ever time playing poker for $$ or in front of other people (I play it with bf and online...that's it!), I ended up splitting w/ 4 others and we each made almost $400... But that's not "luck" to me...poker's a game of skill...lol....If it was about luck, I surely would have lost! LOL

Congrats on the bike...that's awesome! Be sure to post piccies of you on it when you receive it

Ok this is what I've won....so far I've been pretty lucky. I only played because of hubby and now he's been deployed so I'm not into it as he is.

1. Won 10,000 out of a $20 scratchy...years ago
2. Hubby and I won 3,000 each out of a Trifecta (I played the same numbers he did what a cheater)....he loves horse races
3. I won lots of times at the casinos. Now I stay away from them though.. It was starting to get addicting....plus I'm only about 40 mins from Atlantic City.
I do remember one day hubby and I were going to the beach bars in AC and as we were waiting for friends of ours I told hubby to hold on because we were walking through the casinos...I stuck a $10 bill in the machine but since we were waiting I said I was only going to do the min bid....first spin I won 500.00...I was so mad because I didn't enter the max bid but I got over it. Grabbed my money and went to party

That is so awesome! Congrats!! I never win anything. Well, can't say never.... about 10 years ago I won $300 on a Lottery scratch off and about 14 years ago won $750 at Bingo. Wish I had the money now to play scatch-offs and Bingo.
