I won a circuit design contest when I was an undergraduate student. The prize was a certificate and 50 pounds. Besides that, I remember winning a spelling bee when I was a kid. The prize was...nothing. Just bragging rights I guess.

I also placed 3rd in a robot design contest. Not exactly a win but it's something.

Besides that, I once wrestled a professional wrestler for 3 rounds and came out with a draw.

They all sound like wins to me

I bought a chance for a Case knife at a beer store once and I won it. A week or so later I bought another chance on another Case peanut knife but this one was blue. I won it as well. I gave them away because I've always kept my nails clean.

Have you ever won anything?

Good idea for a thread. I just saw this. And the last post was in October.

Let's see, I've won quite a few things.

Before I went into the service I won a microwave and a big screen TV. Since I still lived at home I had no use for them so I gave them away.

I also won China (dishes) and I had no use for that so I gave them to my mother.

I won two tickets to The Lion King and I gave them to my sister because I had no one to ask.

I don't win money because I don't gamble.

I did win a Playstation. That I kept.

I once won a rubber-ducky-down-the-river race - first place!

Say what?

How did you win them?

I won a few races in Mario Kart tonight.

That surprised me because I'd never played this version before.

I kept thinking of that SNL skit the whole time, lol

Let's see. The microwave and a big screen TV I won when I purchased tickets to two different bachelor parties that I was unable to attend because of work.

The China was from a store in the mall that was having a contest. I've been to this mall many times as a kid but never went in because it had stuff that I wasn't interested in. I was walking the mall one day and I saw the word "contest" and I entered. Trust me I had no use for this.

A record store had a contest for the Lion King tickets and I won. I'd of used them but since I am such a loser and didn't know anyone I could ask I thought I'd be a nice brother and I gave them to my sister and she went with her best friend.

There was a store that was called FYE and they had a drawing for a Playstation. I kept that one.

I purchased tickets to two different bachelor parties

I don’t understand this.

 

[BeyondShy]

I don’t understand this.

Someone was getting married. They get together and drink and play cards and have prizes to raise money. It is also called a stag party.

I know what a bachelor party is, but I don’t understand buying tickets to one. You’re either invited or not, aren’t you? You make it sound like an event that anyone can attend, if they buy a ticket, which sounds weird to me.

I’ve never been to a bachelor party.

You’ve never heard of a rubber duck race? You buy numbered tickets that correspond to a rubber duck. All the numbered little yellow rubber duckies are tossed in a moving body of water, like a small river or stream, and the first ones to the finish line win.

No, I never have.

I won tickets to the 1994 MTV music video awards off the radio long ago. I had just moved out there and didn't have any friends so took an older neighbor girl who looked cool but I don't remember being friends ever after that and my little brother never forgave me for not bringing him. I saw Michael Jackson kiss Lisa Marie Presley tho
