I won a "Got Milk?" shirt back in like 2002. It was badass. I had to name a famous person who was in a Got Milk? ad other than the ones they named. I said Mark McGwire and WON.
I think the last thing I won was a ladder. It was at my H's work golf tournament and apparently I won ladies longest put. I've never even golfed before. My h was pretty stoked though.
I won a jersey from the 2009 MLB All Star game that was signed by Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau. If you understood how big of a baseball fan I am, you'd know that I have that sucker framed. I wore it to one game then hung it on the wall.

I accidentally won Backstreet Boys tickets when I was a Sophomore in high school. My friend was in a BSB drawing contest (she drew Nick Carter lol) and the one with the most votes won. When you vote you got entered into a separate ticket drawing and I won 4 tickets. I was like....uh, cool...thanks?
I did like them but I was lame. My brother and sister went with me (friend got floor tickets or I would have taken her too).
I also won a limbo contest on a Jimmy Buffet river cruise where I was probably the only sober person. I'm not sure if I should count this because I had such a huge advantage.

Omg. Did you get to see them sign it? I would have been arrested for trying to dry hump Joe Mauer.

My list is long. I was 9 and went to a lame Tupperware bingo show with my mom and won over 1/2 the games and the grand prize game. A little old lady called me a heathen. I won a $500 shopping spree at DSW from the Southern Women's Show. I have won over 10 pairs of event tickets. (Concerts, NHL, NFL and other random stuff) I won a Sony minidisk player when they first came out. A years worth of CDs from a local radio station. Every month I was mailed 4-6 new CDs. A family pack of tickets to Stone Mountain was the most recent thing I won. My family jokes I should play the lottery everyday. I never win on lottery. I am sure I forgot something.
When I was a kid I begged my dad to let me enter a contest to see the premiere of Pocahontas in New York. He said okay, figuring I'd never win. We won, and he wasn't home when the letter came, so my mom made a big to do of it, and I was SO excited! Well, she kinda forgot to actually read it first, we won tickets to the premier only, no travel or anything, which my dad later figured out. And it was like two weeks away at the point. But my dad found a good deal and we went and it was an amazing trip. It was one of the last before my mom got really sick. I'm so glad I have those memories to hold onto of her.
I won the wrapping paper selling contest in 2nd grade. I got to choose between a Nintendo (NES) and a "video camera" that recorded the audio on a cassette tape. We already had a Nintendo.

Oh and I won two American Girl dolls. I registered Allie when she was a few months old and won, Kit and Ruthie. We may or may not have regifted them to her from Santa a few years ago.

I won the Shea Moisture products last summer. They accidently sent me the wrong line, and they sent me more products and let me keep the other one too.

Yes, all the time. I like to enter contests when I am bored. I've won small things like makeup and hair stuff, to bigger things like a HDTV. My most exciting and recent win is an all inclusive trip to Disney!
I won the entire Lost series on blu-ray for a haiku I wrote about it. I think there were 600 some submissions. Oh, wait. Should I have put a Nerd Alert before my answer?

I (well my XH) won a destination wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii from the knot of all places! I didn't believe it but it was totally legit - airfare and hotel and a wedding package for up to 30 guests I think. We already had our wedding planned so we just did a private vow renewal. But they went all out for the ceremony - musicians, cake, flowers, did my hair and makeup, photographer, etc. So basically we were married twice and it didn't stick, ha!
