Good morning everyone

After winning a raffle last night the question today is

What was the last thing you won? And what did you do with it?


I won £100, and its mainly going on my spending.g money for my hols but there's a nail paint kit I want so I'm toying with the idea of getting that

I don't think I've ever won anything. In fact, I never play in any sort of raffles or lottery type things because I know i won't win somehow ...

I don't play lottery or anything like that I put the money in a sealed tin mounts up quite quick I don't like the idea of throwing my money away to lotto
I only buy the raffle tickets because it supports our little local football team

I have been very fortunate in my life and won many things. The first thing I remember winning was a set of ladies wedding rings when I was in 4th grade. After that, cakes, pies, meals, gift cards and much more. For three or four years in a row, I won a turkey and gave it away. When I won the last one, I cooked it for us.

We do win the lottery from time to time, but it's never anything big. $20 here and there for the most part. A lot of free tickets.

I did win first prize, $75 gift certificate to a local mall, for my apple pie several years ago. I made up my own recipe, from about 3 different recipes, taking what I liked from each recipe. Took it into work and waited in the lobby for the judging to finish. When one of the judges came over to me, lifted me right up out of my chair and gave me the biggest hug I've ever had, I thought I did something right!


I called it Apple Custard Pie in Pecan Crust. And I still make that pie to rave reviews.

Many years ago I won $1500 in an online contest. That's the best I've done. I won $200 playing bingo on a cruise last summer.

The last thing I won was a United Way T-shirt. It was one of the prizes from our company raffle for everyone who donated. As for what I did with it, I wore it to the gym a couple of times.

About ten years ago, me and my DH won a trifecta at the race track. I picked the top three horses and my DH put them in the correct. Just pure luck, I was only bummed he didn't bet more!!!!!!!! Won about $500.00 and I we went out for a really nice dinner after that, and the rest, well was spent on my own horse

I won a very small amount on a few scratch cards, put that money towards 1/2 the price of a book I wanted
I don't usually win anything, I have very bad luck.

I won a pair of tickets to a hockey game last week in the Bible Quiz on the radio. The game was last Saturday afternoon and my team (the Bakersfield Condors) won 4-1! They were good seats too! Lower level by one of the goals. They were about 11 rows up from the glass.

Either I or DH have won concert tickets, DVD's, CD's, Bibles and various other items from the same station. You can only win every 2 weeks and we normally win something every 2-3 weeks.
