The Columbus Blue Jackets do that and a few years back our youngest won. He got to sit on the CBJ bench in warmups, lower bowl tickets, a home jersey, team signed stick, a few pucks from warmups given to him by Jacket players, and ride on the Zamboni after the first period. He also ended up on the jumbotron a few times. Lucky kid, I don't think I've won a darned thing myself.

tld221, I never missed an episode of "Win Ben Stein's Money"!

I won an insulated lunch bag during a random drawing at a divisional meeting today. I always win stuff...

I won a white teddy bear in a red velvet dress in a raffle when I was a kid. (I still have it)

My dad always puts lotto tickets in our stockings for Christmas. A couple years back I won $51 from my stocking stuffer lotto tickets.

I won an AGD necklace at a chapter meeting two years ago by knowing random AGD trivia.

Yes, I was on with Bob, my t-shirt read, "I've waited 30 years to kiss Bob!" And kiss I did . . . 3 times!!

How did I miss this thread?

I have won:
-1 airfare for 1 person to Narita, Japan on JAL airlines (no hotel, so I sold it to a colleague for $300.00 cash)
-1 trip for 2 to Los Cabos, Mexico (I was Caller 94 on the radio - that was SWEET!)
-A pair of gold earrings
-3 or 4 wine baskets at different wine tastings (with raffle) that I attend
-a big mother gift basket of Easter chocolates and candy, which had a $200.00 gift card to a wine store
-a gift basket of motivational books + DVDs
- free entry to a conference that I wanted to attend ($1600.00 value)
- Visa Gift card worth $50.00
- Fleece jacket from Chupa Chups
-Free hotel stay at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Canada
-Free hotel stay at the Westin Hotel in Whistler, Canada
-Free hotel stay at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver, Canada
-This sort of glass and metal summer patio lantern that is quite lovely
-Smaller items like books, pens, traveler coffee mugs, gravy boat, potpourri type items, etc.

Numerous other things that I cannot think of at the moment...raffle items and what not.

I am hoping to win a house, a car and other big ticket items in the future!

I believe in The Law of Attraction, cuz it works, baby!!

Tonight at my professional association, I won a 1 night's free hotel stay at the Four Seasons at Whistler Ski Resort.

I also won a tote bag (which I already had from a conference) with office samples in it, so I donated it to the local community college.

I remember when I was young, I won this IGLOO brand thermos jug thingy.
