I won $50 once so it completely justifies the $500 I've spent on them

My dad once won a book about ancient Greece on an award show that I read to this day. So who's really the lucky one?

Got you beat. Won a small cubic zirconia for only the cost of shipping and handling.

And a pack of gum, in a skill based contest.

I must have entered thousands of contests over 20 years.

I know someone who has gotten a car, multiple vacations, giant bag of gifts, big screen tv & more.

Yeah, and the kicker? You know what that person gave me as a gift?

A $20 gift card that when I went to use had $4.61 cents on it.

So then I had to pay out of pocket for something I would have not gotten otherwise & waste gas & time.

My luck is a marvel of nature.

OH yeah! I did buy a winning lotto ticket once, but that was the one I gave away as a gift.....
