Lessee, I also won approximately $300 playing blackjack on a cruise ship in 1995. The most I've ever won from a lotto ticket was maybe $10. That's it I think. I won 5th grade spelling bee, and was 4th in the county spelling bee (top 3 moved on). As far as art is concerned, I did occasionally successfully cut the paper in a straight line.

archer Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I won a microwave oven back in 1984 when getting a microwave was a big thing. About 10 years ago, I won a trip for two to Utah for a 2 day race car driving experience at a school to train professional drivers. I didn't want to go so my wife and niece went. Of course that was during the time that I was spending 8-10 hours a day online entering various contests. The only other vaguely big thing I won during that time was $500 in Pampers diapers for my great-niece and nephew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Alexander Hiding behind a palindromedary Well, the names change, but some poor unfortunate souls were going to be my unwitting dodgeball pawns. (actually usually the more unathletic ones were my preference, since they weren't going to be of any other use unless they could throw hard) Note: When throwing I went for the ankles.
