    I won a raffle once, it was from a Christmas charity event, filled with Cardinal themed things. Plates, little pins, sugar dish, tealight lamp, etc. Probably about a hundred bucks worth, it was nice.

    Why I was 7 I won the mystery box at an auction my parents took me to. paid $10 for it. It contained a bunch of napkins and a stuffed turtle. I haven't struck it lucky at winning anything since.

    When I was 14 I won a TV that a clothing store had. The TV was worth like 750 dollars.

    Lost about £60 in a Casino one night. I haven't gambled or won any more really apart from that. I would possibly be tempted to try my luck at Poker, I usually seem to do pretty well in my group of friends and I'd like to see if I could get anything from it. Not much of a bettting/gambling guy, but a little bit now and then is fine.

    I rarely enter random draw contests, I think I only ever won something from one of them a single time. Back in like 2008 I entered a contest on Xbox Live to win a 360 Elite or something tied to the launch of GTA4 and I was one of the second prize winners and they sent me a GTA4 baseball bat in the mail.

    So probably like $20 or whatever that bat was worth are my total contest winnings.

    That's pretty cool, did they give you any flake because you were 14, or did you just have your folks claim it?

    And where did the TV go, did you get a really cool TV for gaming lol?

    Well, as my room did not have a cord for a TV back then, and really no space, my parents bought it for its original price. So I in reality just got 750 dollars or so straight up. I only played on PC at the time, and a bit on the original Xbox, we had that in the living room, and my parents wanted the new TV for their bedroom (mainly because the TV in the living room was also new at the time).

    I think I've won like 30€ on a scratch ticket once. I have insanely bad luck with anything that involves a lottery of any kind.

    Won $400 in Vegas shortly after turning 21, haven't really won there since.

    Won: $5000 in a friendly bet that I won't claim. The result of that bet was just a couple weeks ago.

    Lost: I don't make bets I won't win. The last I remember is I bet my roommate $1 on a basketball game, but I made it back because I cooked dinner.

    44kg of frozen raw food for dogs, worth a couple of hundred dollars. Couldn't fit it in to my freezer tho, so I gave most of it to my mother.

    I won a box of bubble-gum packages back when i was 8. Outside of that i steered clear of any sort of luck-related contests or gambling (at least in the personal life; never mind being employed in the business).

    I got a record of "Look Both Ways" when I was in Grade 2 for having the shiniest shoes (circa 1970). Apart from that I've never won a thing - not from want of trying.


    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
