What things or experiences have you won?

Question

When I was a kid I won a Shrek toy on a claw machine, it was one of those ones that gave out candy if you didn't win. So the claws actually got stuck in Shreks vest, the machine kept going in and dishing out candy so we were grabbing it and giving it to all the kids waiting behind. Eventually we gave up trying to get the plushie off and walked away. About 15 min later a kid came running up to me while I was eating some fries and handed me the toy he managed to get it off and ran all over to try find me.

Another time I won tickets to a first screening of the BFG. It was in 3d and at 8 in the morning, not amazing for my eyes lol

I've also won a Nintendo switch in an online competition 😌

Besides medals and trophies in sports, I won a bunch of skateboards and gear competing in various tournaments in skate parks (used to be a sponsored vert skater as a teen). Also won a Gameboy as a kid setting a high score on Space Invaders along with some free computers through programming competitions, and this Siggraph (computer graphics convention) award called the Silver Edge for a technology I developed. I think those are my most memorable ones. I also grinded a $50 deposit into over $4,000 playing online Poker (I started with a $25 deposit and ultimately lost it, but then put in one more and managed to more patiently grind that).

I won 3 raffles but never collected the prize (they were bottles of wine and i was underage), i just wanted to win and for the announcer to say it was me.

I also won tickets to an european football match where an italian giant beat the team my brother supports and i got to watch him sit there miserable in his stadium haha

Lastly i won poetry competition, i was new to a book club and just pulled off a miracle, i was competing with PHD Masters graduates and oldies and i hadn't even finished my batchelors. I let my helper have the cash prize, i just wanted the recognition and got it.

When I was seven (or so) I won a full sized snowboard in a raffle at a huge event. The guy sitting behind me was super pissd cuz he knew I would never use it... he was right. I traded with my step dad for a skateboard.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I do not usually enter competitions to win prizes, which means not really won much.

I have won graphics cards for pc before, a Christmas food hamper which I then gifted to Winter Comfort Charity. A pamper weekend at a Spa hotel, which my ex wife then claimed lol.

I have won a few archery and shooting comps.

having read this question, maybe I should enter more prize type competitions.

The big ticket items that I won was a flat screen tv, a porta cable cordless drill and driver set, a generator transfer panel, $2700 in cash. I've also won stuffed animals and toys at carnivals.

That was very nice of the kid to give you the Shrek toy. You're generosity paid off in the end
