I won an ipad air once and immediately sold it on kijiji cause I don’t use apple’s proprietary ewaste

I used the money to repair my bike :D

I actually won twice.

The first time was on a radio show and I won two tickets to see the first Ice Age film.

The second time was recently, I won a youtube giveaway, and I won a painting. The guy was asking so much for shipping that I stopped replying.

I’ve tried to participate in so many giveaways and lotteries and never won anything. I believe that’s my superpower: lose against the odds.

I won a copy of Overwatch and a Winston themed gaming headset before. Some sort of WoW(in game) item from taco bell too.

I was at a LAN party about twenty years ago put together by a buddy. Roughly a hundred people, and my friend really went all out getting sponsors for it - I think some of them may have been under the impression there’d be about five times the number of people present, because there was a lot of stuff - not counting cheap swag, we had prizes for three or four tourneys plus about a dozen draws. I won a pretty high end CPU/mobo combo.

Most valuable prize was a copy of Maya; think it was worth about $6000 at the time. The company that donated it stipulated it go to someone with an interest in 3D modeling so rather than a random draw, everyone who was interested faced off in a rock, paper, scissors elimination. I made it to the final round and lost - my opponent psyched me out saying “Rock always wins,” I threw scissors, he won with rock.

A decade ago I randomly won a Vizio google tv box from a tech site give away. I don’t remember its ultimate fate but I’m sure it’d be useless at this point due to lack of updates anyway.

A popular instant soup brand was doing a 3 month long Air Fryer giveaways, 2000 every month. Partner got to know about it near the end of first month and somehow deduced that it must be an early bird thing. We sent in our entry at midnight when new month began and saw our name in the list 15 days later. By the end of the 3 months, 9 of our close acquaintances were proud winners of air fryers!

Yup, I’ve won a couple things. I won some tickets to a concert which I handed over to friends since I don’t go to concerts, and I also won some art supplies!

A “golden” PS4 from Taco Bell

When I was a kid a won a bottle of red wine at some festival game where I had to throw some balls into hole to make a toy horse move, something like that.

When I was a kid in the mid-90s, my mum won a pair of rollerblades that were in my size from a raffle at the local shop. I wore them and loved them for about 3 days until I was chased and threatened by homophobes 🤷‍ That was the end of that 😒 I’m not trying to fight off gangs of older kids on my own while wearing bewheeled shoes. I’m not even gay, but wearing rollerblades was akin to licking bumholes back then, apparently.

I won the big LTT screwdriver in a giveaway

I once won spa day vouchers! Flogged them on Ebay for a couple of hundred. Good result!

I wrote to the show Video & Arcade Top 10 and they sent me a copy of Super Mario 64.

When I was younger I won a copy of the board game ‘Game of Life’ through some online giveaway. Think I played it once or twice xD

I also wonder cinema tickets for me and some friends. It was a competition a local cinema did for designing a costume for Stuart Little, around the time that film came out. The tickets were a runners up prize, but I remember it being pretty great - about 10 of us and we were given free drinks and snacks!
