I can't recall winning anything super significant.

My sister (Kr_Treefrog2) won a car once. A brand new Pontiac G6. She bought a single raffle ticket at a high school football game and they drew her ticket.

Last fall I bought a Backpack leaf blower from a small shop in town. Apparently, anytime you spend more than $200 at the shop you are entered in that month's drawing. I got a call a month later stating I had won..........A backpack leaf blower. Ohh yeah, anyone interested in a Backpack leaf blower? New-In-Box!

I never really won anything valued more then 5 bucks...I should start betting against myself of not winning anything.

In 2008 my best friend was selling $10 raffle tickets as a fundraiser for Columbus North's show choir. The prize was a brand new 2008 Pontiac G6. My dad bought a ticket to support her cause and said to put it in my name, jokingly saying, "Sure, Kelly needs a car." About a week later we had some friends over for dinner when the phone rang. My dad answered it, listened a moment, and then got the weirdest expression on his face. He just handed the phone over and said it was for me. The woman on the line said I had won the car. I thought it was a practical joke put on by our dinner guests, since they'd gotten a few tickets as well. But no, it was real, and when she asked me how many tickets I'd bought, she was floored when I told her just the one. Out of over 3,200 tickets sold, my single ticket was pulled! My best friend who'd sold me the ticket and I went the next day to the car dealership to pick up the car. We even have a pic of the two of us and the winning ticket.

The story gets even better, though. One of my lifelong friends had just had a baby and her car was breaking down and had become unreliable. She was looking for a new car but had a limited budget, being a single mom with a newborn and all. Around that time my mom also decided she wanted to sell her 2005 Honda CR-V for a different car. I liked the Pontiac, but I liked the CR-V better; it was more suited to the country and me. So, an e-mail was sent out to all our family friends to let them know the Pontiac was for sale if anyone was interested. My friend wrote back that during her car search, she had fallen in love with that exact car, but that she couldn't afford one. Brand new retail price was $20,000 and mine still had less that 1k miles on it. Knowing that God had blessed me with a car, I wanted to pass that blessing on to my friend. We worked out a deal to where she only paid me what I needed to buy the CR-V and was still within her budget, and my parents made me a good deal on the CR-V, too. In the end, my friend got the car she wanted, I got the car I wanted, and my mom got the car she wanted. Everyone wins.

Nothing big but I did win a Glock Model 22 at a Friends of NRA banquet several years ago.
I'm still waiting for the lottery to come through for me....but I'm not holding my breath.

The only "winnings" I can really remember:

- Won $65 at the casino in Cherokee, NC on the quarter slots. Immediately cashed out and drove back to Gatlinburg (where we were staying) for a nice dinner.

- At my very first ever offroad event, I won a Hi-Lift jack. Still have it, and it is well used.

I've never really won anything big. I don't enter many raffles, don't play the lottery (much), and don't really gamble too often.
