Have you ever won anything?

I won a Connie's pizza at Wrigley about 3 years ago. They gave out I think two tvs right before they called off a few seats for the pizzas.

 

When I was 3 I won an Energizer indy pedal car. My grandma entered my name in a drawing when we were at a store. It was the coolest thing ever. I wish I still had that thing.

When I was 7 or 8 I won a Silver Hawk's action figure (Blue Grass) from a Fox 47 write in contest.

 

I won an over under 20 guage at a white tails unlimited banuet a few years back, that was freaking sweet!

 

The worst was the year the Super Bowl was held in Atlanta. Ho-Chunk had a football trivia contest. The grand prize was a trip for two all expenses paid to the big game. My name got selected, so I did the first round. Won it. Not even close. Second and third rounds, same outcome. This trip was mine. The final two rounds were held a week later. I won the semi's quite handly again. Onto the finals. The competetion looked pretty easy. I breezed right along, only two questions from winning. Then I choked. It was a jeopardy format and I got two questions in a row wrong. Some guy who looked like he just got released from a state run institution ended up beating me. That's what stung, that guy couldn't have beat me-- I beat myself.

I won a bunch of Brewers tickets, gift certificates, etc, answering baseball trivia questions on my hometown radio station when I was a teenager.

The best things I ever won were a trip to Las Vegas with lodging at the Mirage from WKTI in '98 or '99 for being the 10th caller when they played the secret song. I remembered for awhile but have since forgotten what the secret song was. It might have been by REM.

 

And in '03 or '04 I won a year of free digital cable & RoadRunner on Bill Michaels show on WTMJ by being a certain caller. Caller 7 I think.

I won a skateboard, birdhouse, deck once. I don't skateboard so I think it is still sitting around somewhere.

In Dec '05 I won an all expense paid trip to Puerto Vallarta. It included plane tickets for a direct flight from MKE, resort stay, and all food and drinks. I ended up having to pay $1000 in taxes, but it was worth it. I won it from KTI (FM sister station of the Brewers flagship station)

 

I also won a copy of Scene It from KTI.

 

The best thing is that I don't listen to that station ever. My mom loves that station and enters me (and herself and other family members) into that "insider" club. I remember I had a choice of 4 trip packages to try to win, and I said I didn't care. They were all to a Spanish speaking country (which I don't speak) and I didn't think I would win. She had just randomly picked that contest to enter all of my points into.

Front row tickets to a Jimmy Buffett concert at Alpine Valley from 96.5 FM. I didn't even know what I was calling to win at the time. One of my co-workers and I were trying to win radio contests at work, where we have phones with quick redial. He just told me to call 96.5. I got through and the DJ asked me "Are you a Parrotthead?". I didn't understand what he said at first, but then gave an enthusatic "Yeah!". Good times.

I moved to Dallas and within a month, I win a Tom Landry autographed football in a drawing held at a hotel. I still have it, but I would have preferred a Vince Lombardi ball instead.
