Uh...one time I won a private plane ride for selling the most x-mas wrapping paper or something like that. That was probably worth a fair amount of money.

I won a 2-liter bottle of Dr. Pepper from a bottle cap about a month ago. That's about my biggest; I generally have lousy luck. If I go to a dinner where there are door prizes for everbody in attendence, I'll be the one guy there who gets shorted an doesn't get anything. It's really happened, more than once!

I won a free vacation. Just got the call the other day. I have the honor of being specially selected for this. All I have to pay is administration fees, first and last night motel, food, transportation, taxes and gratuities.

Haven't responded yet...............

I won $5,000 earlier this year in the Georgia scratch off lottery. $10,000 more and I might break even

Talking

A large bottle of Pepsi in Jr. High during a "first person to answer this" contest but I was too lazy to go thru the rules and regulations to actually pick it up.

"Well, go down to the Principle's office, tell them who you are and what you want, ask to talk to Mr. such-n-such, tell him who you are and what you want then he will direct you to the assistant's lounge where you will wait untill Ms. so-n-so gets there. Tell her who you are and what you want and she will instruct her aid to walk you down, by the hand, to the storage room, unlock the door, sign for the bottle, then hand it to you. You will then follow her back to Ms. so-n-so's office and there you will sign for the bottle."

Just give me the stinkin' bottle!

I nearly won a free new truck at a raffle. The woman next to me won it. Bummer. Well, it was a Toyota so no great loss.
