8 years ago I won 10€ on a sports betting ticket. That's about it. Never had luck with lotterys and such things.

And they're like, it's better than yours.

Damn right, it's better than yours,

I can teach you, but I have to charge.

Spot on ;)

A popular children's science magazine in my country was running a game of associations in its monthly issues. In short, there were five columns, with five words in each column, one or two to be revealed each month. Readers had to deduce the word on top of each column, then deduce the final association word using those five words. You were supposed to guess only the word on top of the current column and send it in, but you could also take a shot at the final word. There was a prize for each correctly guessed word of the column.

So before the first round/column of the game was over, I won it, effectively ruining the game for the publishers, who thought it would run for at least six months. First I figured out the word for the first column, it was "circles". I then wrote a suggestion for the final word because why not, and my father helped me – it was "Archimedes". In the next issue of the magazine the editor stated that I had won the game, with all the prizes for individual columns (because not one of them had been won yet). They were: a yearly subscription to the magazine, binoculars, an amateur microscope, an amateur telescope, a computer (but a poorly built one) and some books. I had a blast with all of those, except with the computer, because it was a poorly built one and it disappointed me (a weak processor and RAM shared with the graphics card, making the system useless for gaming).

Though I didn't win it, I did go to a premiere for Wayne's World sponsored by a local radio station. My friend won an autographed guitar signed by Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. We were in a band together at the time, and so we foolishly used the guitar for practice and at shows. A few months of hard use had put it out of action and killed any market value it might have had.

The coolest thing I ever won was spelling bees at school. The prizes sucked, but it was nice to know that I could spell better than anyone else in my school. Nerds have a competitive streak too, they just don't like to show it.

A few years ago I won a 5 feet Lion King plush at a tombola.

I have won a few things during my long life but could not remember anything actually cool until now. I once won an icecream as a child :-) that is cool, right. Once as a student I did not have enough money for even a pack of cigarettes (do not take up smoking, kids! I quit long ago) and had turned in a row or two of lotto numbers and I won enough for a one month valid bus ticket, some food and a couple of packs of cigarettes. Was I happy hehe.

I won grand prize at a country festival raffle once. The prize was a 52" HDTV that was "3D ready."
