Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS OOOHHHH - There is a tie between two! 1) Back in the day, I won pit tickets to see Metallica.

Well, at least for that day, anyway. 2) I sent a postcard to a radio station telling them what 10 songs I would play if I got to be the DJ for a night. I won!! I got to be on the radio for 2 full hours running my own radio show for KLSX fm when they used to be a "Classic Rock" station. This was on St Patricks Day, and Ursula and I and some friends started the night at an Irish pub. I left the pub to do the radio show and the whole pub ended up listening to some of my show. Boy I felt famous. The real DJ and I chatted in-between songs. Back then I used to rent my rec-room out to a blues band for them to practice in, so when we came back from commercial she let me do a free plug for the band. Boy did they owe me one after that!

Originally Posted By goodgirl A few years ago I participated in an online survey. Your name got entered in a drawing for a prize. I won it! It's a Sony 42" high def plasma television.

I would never spend $6,000 on a television but I love this TV.

I have also won third row tickets to Jerry Seinfield (who was hilarious) and tickets to see the Eagles and Loretta Lynn.
