Tcali Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I won $1800 on a $1 bet on a slot machine in an indian casino. I didn't even know I won at first--I kept pushing the button and it wouldn't play. I hadn't been to a casino in years. unfortunately that spurred me to try several more times----and I proceeded to lose most of the $1800 over the following year. Gambling=dumb.

I did that with a quarter and a claw game... Grabbed a big stuff animal on the first try @ a road stop in Ohio... LoL... Spurred me to think I can grab one everytime. I don't know how much money that small victory has cost me in the end! :-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Here's the best thing I almost won. I was golfing in Florida with my brother and on one of the par threes they had a contest where you had to put in $10 to be entered. If you were within a grips length of the cup, you'd win your choice of a trip to one of two golf resorts, Hilton Head or another that I can't remember. My tee shot hit the flag (the actual flag, not the stick). When we got up to the green, the damn ball was less than an inch beyond the length of a grip. I still like to claim that the stupid flag took a little spin off the ball and kept it out of the hole. And yes, I sunk the putt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 When I was in 2nd grade, there was a contest to guess how many jelly beans were in a jar. I used math to figure it out and won the jelly beans (teacher made me give the jar back, so the prize was worth what, a buck? ). Sadly, this was mine too-- though it was candy corn. Never been able to replicate that success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) In December of 1999 I traveled to Phoenix to see the Bills play the Cardinals. The night before the game the Phoenix Bills Backers had a big party which included a raffle. The raffle had lots of Bills memorabilia, and my ticket was the first one called, so I chose the Bills replica helmet.

DC Tom Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I did once win some money (a couple hundred, maybe. I don't remember.) at moonlight bowling picking up a 7-10 split. Obviously, I was less impressed by the cash than I was by the fact that I somehow managed to pick up a 7-10 split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 A Bills/Jim Kelly basket of autographed items at one of the Hunters Hope balls. It was a silent auction and no one had bid yet, with an hour to go, so I wrote down my name and the minimum (I think it was $100). Checking later, I won.

Clippers of Nfl Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I doesnt win anything this dayz. oh thas becuz i dont have my own email website thingy. mail that goes to internet. whas that called again? Honestly I think most games are rigged. Actually I know as a fact because I have been involved in the scheming. Basically I've done this. I got a name out from the raffle and said, "Oh no, not him. Or not her" Basically choosing who I wanted. Who ever would give me the sexual favors. Just kidding. Then some reps have done the same for me. "Just dont tell anyone" I quietly take the prize!!!! It's all bull. That's why I never play the "do this for a new car", "do this for a gift card". F em. They already know who the prize is going to. Unless it's the lottery, which I dont play either.

bowery4 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 My Mom would win stuff all the time, once she won a new car at a church auction, won lottery tickets like every other time she played them. I have no idea if this had anything thing to do with it but she could spot a 4 leaf clover in any group of them that she'd see. Me, well as the song goes, if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all (at least at winning contests, can't complain about the life stuff that much).
