I won 2nd place in the NJ big lottery once. I had 5 numbers out of 6 for the Pick 6. The winning amount was up around $14 mil and at the time that was a record. Because I got 5 of 6 everyone I knew was assuming I'd get at least $10,000. Turns out a record amount of people hit 5 of 6 and we split it a zillion ways. However, I did get $2,114 or something like that! WoooooHooooo!

I won my first concert tickets from a radio program. It was to an all girl group called Fanny and Jose Feliciano was there...but the headliner was The Guess Who. (<---waiting for all the clowns to ask, "Who?")...*giggle* Like I haven't heard that before!

I've won albums in trivia contests in bars way back when.

I was told I won a poetry contest...but we all know how that went!

I win small amounts of money at a private club I go to. Bar tickets for different prizes including money. That sort of thing.

Oh...and I've won "meat prizes" at local raffles. LMAO! When I moved from Jersey to Pa. Mr. Lixy took me to my first meat raffle and the sign said, "meat prizes" an I just laughed my ass off. We didn't have anything like that where I came from. But, when I started winning ham roasts so big you could saddle em...I stopped laughing! Mmmmmmmmmmm...meat!
