Back in 2001 I entered a drawing to win a full size reversible, broadcloth cloak in the colors of my choice, and lo and behold, out of all the entries in the nation I won it, and I still have it.Have ever won a contest/raffle you've entered? If so, what was your prize?
In the words of Bevis, "Money's cool."Back in 2001 I entered a drawing to win a full size reversible, broadcloth cloak in the colors of my choice, and lo and behold, out of all the entries in the nation I won it, and I still have it.
And several months ago we bought a $10 scratch off and you could win up to 20 times on that scratch off. We won every single one! Five dollars each is $100. Here’s the picture below.
Steve, Sagittarius people seem notorious for landing on their feet!I only remember doing a few raffles. One i did was at a big party a friend was throwing for his mom. There were two horseshoe tournaments and i played in both. Blind draw partners and i almost won the first game. Second round i got paired with one of my best friends and we knew, they were done lol. So in the midst of winning the second game, a woman was asking about who had this ticket from raffle. It sounded like mine, pulled it out of my pocket and said yeah, that's me. I got the 5 disk cd changer which was the main prize. She asked oh, that's great, how many tickets did you buy? I told her, one lol. She blurted out a lovely response and walked away lol, So i went home with a cd player and cash from game 2..almost both games. Great party btw
Pastel. Precious. Lol.In the mid 60s, a local radio station had a promotion where they dropped party balloons from aircraft over the city. Each balloon had a number, and each number a prize attached to it. You took the balloon to the station, they crossed referenced the number with the prize list, and handed your prize.
I snagged one of the balloons, went to claim my prize, and it wasn't what I hoped for. It was a four place setting set of cheap plastic dishwear that was marketed under the trade name, Melmac.

As an aside, TV watchers from the late 1980s will remember ALF from the series of the same name was supposed to have come to Earth from the planet Melmac. I've often wondered if that planet name came from the dishwear ?
And the answer looks to be yes...As an aside, TV watchers from the late 1980s will remember ALF from the series of the same name was supposed to have come to Earth from the planet Melmac. I've often wondered if that planet name came from the dishwear ?
