Thing I have Won
So on Friday I won a trip to Las Vegas to the I Heart Radio Music Festival. I don't win thing very often so I'm an extremely excited.
What have you won before? Any prize big or small.
***I know the title is grammatical incorrect. It should say 'Things I Have Won'. I didn't notice it until after I posted it an now I can't change it.

I've won several free lunches from local restaurants (quite a few seem to do the business card fishbowl draws), a cruise, and an iPod Shuffle.

I won All That: The Album from a mail-in sweepstakes when I was a kid. That's about it.

On "Jeopardy" - (leading until Final Jeopardy - studied instead of drinking in college and thus was the only one not to get the final question) - Case of Rice A Roni - ALL THE SAME FLAVOR; stereo, Centrum, cold medicine and the home game, which no one would play with me because, hey "You were on the show".
On "Win Ben Stein's Money" - I didn't; I did get a "You are the prettiest contestant we've ever had" from Ben Stein which I treasure to this day.

Tickets to Live in the Vineyard in Napa. It was awesome!
And in third grade, I won a globe beach ball for being the class spelling bee champion. I miss that beach ball. It had the Soviet Union on it.

Of course!
I've won a lot of stuff over the years. Off the top of my head, stuff off of the radio--concert tickets, fun stuff. A few $5 lottery tickets, and of course, Mr. Ninjapoodle

In ad agency land, there is something magical called upfront season where all the TV networks put on presentations to sell you on why they are awesome and why you need to throw your clients' media dollars at them. Among other things, they also give out lots of presents. Some of them are smaller gifts that everyone gets (although some of my "small" gifts have been Samsonite luggage and a Sony stereo), some of them are contests. The contests are great because the pool of applicants is so small (usually the contests are advertised via emails that only get sent to agencies and advertisers and on top of that, majority of people don't play). I've only won like $25 gift cards in the contests, but I've had co-workers win iPads, Beats headphones...etc. My old account director won a 60'' 3D TV last year. Needless to say, I play every single contest that I get via email, lol

I won $20 on a scratch off lotto ticket once. I walked away from a Roulette table up about $600.

Not sure if I've posted this before, here goes...
This is from the 'old' days: I "won" the Junior High School School Science Fair.
Judging was blind--no names on entries and no contestant by their entry as it is judged.
Each entry included a hand-written ledger stating what we did, how we did it, and what it meant to the scientific community. My ledger used PRINTED letters (not cursive), which in retrospect is used by teen males more often than teen females and may explain what happened next...
AFTER all contestants AND THEIR PARENTS had re-entered the display room AND seen the winner's plaque and certificate by my entry, the judges suddenly realized they had declared A GIRL their Science Contest Winner  . I was the FIRST GIRL  to win the school's Science Contest.
But the judges were having none of that!  (remember this was the olden days)
They huddled together and decided the winning entry was really a display by two BOYS (who ironically won the Science Fair, with a different display, the previous year).
In the uproar that followed it was decided I should still get a prize, so at the school's award ceremony later in the year I was given a ten dollar bookstore certificate while the two boys each got a twenty-five dollar bookstore certificate.
Only their names went on the plaque as the winners  .
My science teacher was upset, but it was his first year of teaching and he had no tenure and thus no say-so in re-instating me as THE winner. But I still have a fun story to tell  .
