Have you ever won anything?

[Amy10223]

What was it? I've won a bike (one of those mountain bikes, but for kids), and last night I won a dozen eggs! Fresh farm ones, with oink and bluish tones. They were from someone who had chickens in his backyard. This was at a raffle at a club I belong to. I bought the last ticket both times--coincidence!

[Wisdom-Strength-Love]

My entire life, i lost every single raffle. I dont think its a coincidence or bad luck. I think the lesson is every sweepstake, every lotto, most charities, basically every casino, has some rigging to lesson your probability. Might be a subtle cheat or complete fraud

Many years ago, as a teenager, I won a fruit basket on a local TV station call in show. My mother had to drive to the station and pick it up.

[Amy10223]

Do you remember what the show was about, and what your answer was? Or did you have to be the X number of callers?

[AviatorTom]

@Amy10223 If I remember correctly... It was a locally-run trivia game show and you had to be caller number 13, which happened to be the local station's channel number.

[Amy10223]

Ah... and you don't remember the question?
The only radio related happening in my famiily, was when my sister somehow got on a radio talkshow with a man called Imus, in the "Imus in the Morning" show. She actually began singing a Mexican song and he was really a funny kind of guy and was chiming in "Ayy... arriba arriba!" We heard her on the radio after it was recorded.

[AviatorTom]

Don Imus was the host of the morning show for many years on WNBC radio 660 in New York City. I used to listen to him when I was in the area.

[Amy10223]

Yes, his show was very funny. He for whatever reason, got into some kind of trouble, and his show was canceled. Shame.

[Amy10223]

I think I remember his song, "I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I got my plastic Jesus riding on the dashboard of my car..." it went something like that Funny, even if it was blasphemous.

In middle school I won a free three months of music lessons from a writing competition, I went with guitar.

Unfortunately I'm not musically talented with a guitar, fingers are too small.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, a few things. A TV, a iPhone and a food package. All of which I gave to friends.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I won money at an Automated Teller Machine & all I had to do is insert my card, press a few buttons & bingo I won cash.

[Amy10223]

Hahaa

[Static_In_The_Attic]

In addition I won before I was even born, I was the winning sperm & don’t forget you were too.

[Amy10223]

Well, that's one way to look at that!

[SawerBrown]

Amy did you know the blue greenish eggs are the highest in protein and thr lowest in fat and cholesterol.

[Amy10223]

No, I didn't know, but I have seen a brand that sells the bluish eggs, and they were expensive. So I'm happy to try these if they are low in cholesterol. I love eggs.

[SawerBrown]

Enjoy fresh eggs are best

[exitseven]

I won a skateboard at a local radio station, I also won a flash drive at a seminar I attended. This was when they first came out and were expensive.

[jamesgoldman]

All-sorts bottles of wines and a bottle of champagne, whisky, bottle of Bailey's, goodness knows how many tins and packets (tombolas are a serious vice), Christmas hamper, fruit basket

[NathanDavis]

[LavLavLuv]

[Amy10223]

[Static_In_The_Attic]

A water bottle is better than nothing.
