TaylorMadeBoy Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 What has been the biggest or best prize that you have won. Like a raffle prize, half-court shot, lottery, etc.
Birdsfan Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I won $800 on a single pull of a slot machine once.
True blue (and gold) Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 My biggest prize was a $10 gift certificate for a concrete lawn ornament. Yeah....lucky me!
commoncat Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I won a cruise once. Traded up for a Disney cruise on the Magic. So it ended up costing me quite a bit more than I won.
LudlowBushmat Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I won an Epson printer at FETC (Florida Education Technology Conference) several years ago. It was delivered to school, and I sent it to my supervisor because she always orders and checks in those type of things. She sent it back and said that she didn't order it. There was a letter inside explaining that I had won, so I brought it home with me. It was a very nice printer.
00Rocket28 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I've won 2500 in a poker tournament, thats my largest single cash in a tournament
sweet16 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 As a little kid, I won an Atari out of a Cap'n Crunch box.
SvFan4life Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I have won: $100 gas card to Speedway (recently) $50 gift card in a drawing at school. Can't think of anything else right now.
stick1 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Leadership Scholarship that paid all my college. I guess I earned it more than won it. That was one of the best memories I've ever had seeing my parents eyes + smiles when they found out they weren't paying for my school. My wife won us a trip to the Myan Rivera (all inclusive). Acutally her mom bought her a raffle ticket and her sister one. We didn't know about it until they called telliing us we won. That was sweet!
Hearsay Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I used to regularly win Padres tickets in San Diego by answering the trivia question and being the 7th caller to the morning show radio show on KFMB.
00Rocket28 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 $700 at the Casino playing Poker. That in a single pot or all night? My largest single pot was 980 bucks playing 2/5 at the Horseshoe in Tunica, had pocket 10's vs KK and AA and flopped a 10 . It was beautiful and I played it so well, trapped em both
3wishes Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 A bag of 50 cent pieces that totaled $100. I was 8 years old.
Beechwoodfan Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 When I was 37, I decided to bet 3-7 exacta boxes at the track. Cashed two tickets for over $1000.00 the first time I went. Throughout the year, I had several bit hits doing that. Cashed about $3000.00 worth of tickets total that year. After turning 38, those numbers never worked again. I am quite sure that I have given most of that $3000.00 back to the track since then. Broke even at Keeneland yesterday. That was a win for me!
