Title: Best thing you ever won from the lottery, random drawing, or contest?

I think I won about $40 once from a lottery ticket. Best thing from a drawing? Well I haven't really won anything big, but I got a Waverace shirt a few years back from a Nintendo Power drawing. Damnit, I'm due - the Powerball should be on my side now!

I never win shit. I think I won 25 dollars in a scratch off ticket. But, I have probably bought (or received as gifts) about 1000 tickets in my lifetime.

As a contestant on Starcade, I came home with Spy Hunter, Tapper and Congo Bongo for the ColecoVision, and this crazy radio/tapedeck/keyboard boombox from Casio.

I once won a Plasma EDTV from a drawing at work.  For an EDTV, the bitch was expensive.  2000 dollars for an EDTV.  WTF?  Sold that bitch.

I get $350 deducted off my tuition every quarter from my merit scholarship.  Other than that, I won $20 for getting Honorable Mention at a Recycled Art contest in high school.   :D

In poker does a ace, king, queen, jack, and 10 where the ace is of a different suit beat a full house?  If so I just won $5.

Oh and I won N3 from Drinky Crow and am FUCKING LOVING IT!  Big surprise to me.  Apparantly your characters aren't good with the whole hitting multiple enemies thing until you level them up and then you have to level them up to be able to do special attacks on bosses and that's only possible once you get certain items.
