I "won" a shrink-wrapped copy of Microsoft Server 2003 (this was in 2005).

I never found a use for it (could not legally transfer the license, so I could not sell it and could not even give it away).

I threw it in a dumpster, still shrink-wrapped, in 2008.

A few years back I won a Larue pistol carrying case from the Team Ranstad donation giveaway.

Other than that? Not a thing.

I consider myself one of the most UNLUCKY people around.

Back in 2006 I won a canon powershot a620 digital camera and a 1gig memory stick.

It was the open house for one of the engineering departments on campus and they were having a drawing. I didn't enter but upon leaving one of the girls running it reminded me and I filled out the form. The next day I got an email that I had won. Nice camera.

I've won a $75 visa gift card at work, along with A LOT of our company's loyalty program points, which I redeemed for Amazon gift cards and a couple more visa gift cards. Besides that I won $75 of a dollar slot machine once. I've won some explosive targets and a 12 guage bore snake, but that was where we picked a number and were guaranteed a prize.

ETA: Won a gift card to a local food joint on a radio call- in in high school. I was listening to myself on the radio while I was talking to them on my way into school. Kinda funny I thought.

$50,000.00 on a $5 Texas Lottery scratch ticket.
I bought four at a gas station and the first one I scratched was the 50k winner.
Two others were duds but the fourth was another $1000.00 win.
So actually it was 51k.

I won a $1000 in a raffle at the American Legion Post. They were raising money for a new beer cooler.

I gave half to my wife and I bought myself a Colt Lightweight Officer's Model 1911.

That was in 1986, I ain't won shit since.

I still have the Colt.

I had to earn it when I was 13. I didn't really understand the significance of it back then, but looking back now it was one of the best things I could've done.

A few years ago won about $1100 in my fantasy football league. The same year a buddy of mine got me in on a Super Bowl football pool, $10 per square, I only got one. Won the 1st and 2nd quarter = $500. If the winning team would have kicked a short field goal at the end of the game instead of taking a knee I would have one the final too.
