Have you ever won any contests?The biggest one I won was McDonald's Monopoly Game
in the early 80's.I won a $1000 gift certificate at Sears.(My neighbor's house burned
down right after that and I gave it to them)

Ever done any gambling & won?My husband is a truck driver and we don't have a lot of money.Once, when I was riding with him and we lived in the truck, we were in Nevada
during our anniversary.He scrounged up about $10 in quarters and gave them to me to
play the machines in a truck stop while he fueled up the semi.(About 20 minutes, because
he gets 350 gallons in two tanks.)I went in and when he came to get me and asked me how
I did, I handed him a handful of quarters. He said, good,you didn't loose all my money.
As we walked out, I reached into one of my jean pockets and handed him another handful of quarters. He said Hey. I then reached into another front pocked and handed
him one more handful of quarters. He said,ok! We kept walking, and I reached into a back pocket and handed him a handful of quarters. He said what the ....!I then reached into
the other back pocket and handed him another handful of quarters and said, we better get outta here!!And we both laughed. I tripled our cash in 20 minutes!!Ha

What kinds of things have you entered & won? Way back when my boys were small, and I
read a lot of inspirational books, there was an Easter parade at the little mall we
had in town. They were going to give out prizes for the best costumes/hats that showed
up.I read an origami book and made a whole bunch of origami hats out of old newspapers
and put them in a bag.I drove my boys to the parade at the mall and passed out hats
to kids standing around to watch.We had a small parade, and I won a gift certificate at
a local mercantile store where I got a beautiful lace shawl.I asked the sponsor for a
prize since we had the most participants in the parade and all the kids got an ice cream
at mac donalds.
Way back when I was in highschool, I went to a Sadie Hawkins dance,and wore a costume
that won first prize, but I wore a mop on my head all night and an old lady's dress
with tennis shoes!!
