Has someone of you all won somethin in life like a lottery or something like that

Lotto Max

7 numbers from 1 to 49

If I had matched 7 I would have won $43,000,000
If I had matched 6+bonus I would have won $297,000
If I had matched 6 I would have won $6,353
I matched 5 and won $120


Oh and I guess this counts:

In 1988 at the end of my 1st semester of university I won $100 for having the highest GPA at 3.86

Uh, just for the record guys, i didn't necro this. It was already in the front page when i posted in it. My guess is that support removed the necro post and didn't see my post. It's funny because then support sent me the message of removing the post that necroed it and left mine intact.

Not that anyone cares so, yea. Carry on.

Who cares, best necro eva!

i won a gokart from Menards when i was a little kid, was pretty fun was okay, guess i outgrew it, ooh i think the engine went fucked .. my dad sold it for like $50 or something .. guess theyre worth like $300 - $400 ?? .. whatever

only thing i won i think?


my dad says he has a trick for paper drawings, fold it and tear a little notch near the fold, and you fold it so then the paper has 3d if you know what i mean, so then if they pick it by hand, their hand will sense it more.
may or may not have helped?

i mean, my wife left me so, yea! i see it as winning the lottery

I won a 6L vaal regalia from an EHC quitter.

I won supporterpacks by not playing the lottery.

Not strictly speaking a 'win' but the emphases seemed to be more about the story so...

I remember feeling like i won the lottery when i was about 9-10. My mother used to take me with her to the bank to pay in some money every couple of weeks. Still being fairly small enough she'd lift me up and perch me at her side on the short but high up counter top that stuck out away from the cashier's window.

Usually i liked to look through the glass and see all the people busily doing things and watching where they were going. This time though there was very little activity so i turned my attention to the queue of people that were behind us which also proved uninteresting.

Finally i started paying attention to what my mum was doing. This too proved boring but I then noticed a mysterious dark gap between the metal tray insert that allowed things to be slipped under the window and the wooden worktop i was sitting on. The gap was about an inch wide and you could tell as a way to stop things falling down there they had put an inch wide strip of foam along the top edge. This however had worn away over the years leaving mostly just a big gap.

Having little hands and unable to resist the treasures of what might be down there my attention became focused on the gap and my hand went on an adventure.

Being young and thinking more 'item' based I was fantasising about diamonds and rubies. Instead however i found 7 crisp brand new £50 notes that had obviously fallen down the crack after a customer had slid a larger pile of them over the metal tray and caught a few of them on the edge of the gap.

I remember being a little disappointed at first that all found was some paper but once i realised they were £50's i quickly got over the missing rubes and diamonds.

I sat on the counter top looking at and counting out 'my money' for what must have been about 5-10 seconds before my mother's voice screeched at me in a shocked and a panicked sounding voice like I'd just become a criminal.

"Where the hell did you get them from!?" demanded to know my mother. This also brought the cashiers attention to my new found treasure.

"I found them! They were just in there!" was my innocent and defensive reply as i pointed to the gap. I also put my hand down it again in the hope i might find more and to prove my innocence. I felt like a magician at that point when i found 2 more thin pieces of paper still inside the gap and was able to pull them out much to the astonishment of both my mother and the cashier.

After that the cashier was quick to call the manager over who started talking to my mother who by then had also snatched all my new found treasure away from me.

A few minutes past as i watched my mum and the bank manager talk, go over to the other cashier windows, attempt to put their hands down the gap, failed, talked a little bit more and then came back over to me.

The bank manager explained, with my mother's help, that i unfortunately wasn't going to be allowed to keep all the money i found since it was still considered 'in the bank' and thus bank property blah blah blah. However since i was the one that found not just the money but an obvious and quite literal 'money sink hole' i would get a reward. He then went on to further explain how he needed to make sure the other gaps at the other windows didn't have any money down them as well and needed someone with small hands to check. If i helped my reward would be increased.

I of course was a little disappointed at first but perked up at hearing about the reward. So for the next couple of minutes i got lifted up and moved from window to window so i could stick my hands down the gaps. In total i think I pulled out about £1100!

For my reward i got to keep the first £50 note i found which like i said at the start, at the time and being so young, it felt like I'd just won the lottery.

2 weeks later the whole metal tray insert had been replaced and there were no more gaps :D

^^Epic story O:

I wonder what you bought. At that age $50 - I would be swimming in candy & Micro-Machines o_o

Alas I was with my mum so I only got to have it in my hands for about 10 minutes before my mum literally left the bank and marched me into the post office across the street. Into my savings account it went never to be seen again.

My mum wasn't a complete ..... though. I got to have some fish and chips before we went home and she brought me a kinder egg for after dinner in the evening as compensation for what felt like theft to me at the time. The post office and my mother were obviously part of a conspiracy to keep me from wasting the £50 on gummy bears and Dennis the menace comic books.
