Anyone ever win contests/sweepstakes ? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Excluding raffles.. Raffles are legit, I've won some pretty good stuff before, especially when car events have raffles.

Also excluding contests that involve some sort of judging entree. Those are legit like the ones where you come up with the best design/anything and win by selection of judgement.

But what about contests /sweepstakes and drawings? Ones you enter online, mail entry or in person.

I have never won crap.

Same exact thing that happened to me

I don't think if anyone ever won a legit $$$ sweepstakes, they wouldn't even think about joining a 240sx forum. Just sayin.

On another note, a friend won 2 UFC tickets via internet sweepstakes, but did not include flight. He lives here in Cali and flew out to somewhere in Indiana.

I win lotteries I never played in countries I never heard of about every other day

BOROSUN · 07-10-2011, 11:13 PM

Me too... I have never won. But, if I did win the big one. I would never talk about it.

My pops used to buy lottery everyday and save the tickets. He had a huuge piles of lost hopes.

I won a BS prize pack from L.A. Noire. 3 T-Shirts in the wrong size, a branded cardboard cup, some magnets, a flashlight, and some pencils. Oh, and a hollow weighted can of "peas" for stashing stuff.

Gave the shirts to a skinny friend, use the flashlight, the rest is in a drawer. Still waiting on those cash sweepstakes.

Back when I was about 8 years old, there was a contest on Nickelodeon. It was for a Jack Stone lego set. All you had to do was write your info on a card and mail it in. Couple weeks later, I received the lego set and a letter saying congratulations and that I was the winner.

It was pretty sweet!

whiterps13 · 07-11-2011, 03:25 PM

I won a pair of snowboard gloves from Neff.

It was a facebook drawing. Reply on their wall-post and you were entered to win. It was like 4 days old, had 2500 posts, so I figured I had no chance. I replied anyways.

I was one of 4 winners. People were pissed lol.

I've won tickets to play Rock N Roll Bingo on the radio. I was 1 number away from $100,000 but this old lady beat me. FML...

Why is it that old people always win?

I won $405 at a bar 3 weeks ago, one of those 50 cent gamble cards you do, match them like a slot machine.

And I almost won the lotto last week, 3 numbers off but my numbers were really close

ZenkiKid · 07-11-2011, 04:37 PM

I won a 50 dollar ABC FD3s RC body when I raced on-road RC sedan up in the O.C. Pretty sweet.

. So it was given to someone else.
