70'sChevyGirl Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I was wondering what kind of stuff people have won over the years. I don't like the odds playing the lottery but I do. I am hoping to hit the jackpot one of these days. :xfingers: Speaking of Jackpots, I took a trip with my Dad last summer and he loves the casinos. We stopped at 5 or 6 along our route to MI's UP. I won small at the first few but when we went to the casino in Slt Ste. Marie I was playing a penny slot at Max bet and I hit the Top Prize-$1000. I was so excited I jumped out of my seat and started dancing around the place. I have also won concert tickets from the radio. I am waiting on the Publisher's Clearinghouse people to stop by soon. :lolsmack: What have you won?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 The biggest thing? Has to be car related. Probably my tire cradles for the Vette. Definitely the most expensive thing I ever won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 What are tire cradles. IS it like a matt for under the tire. See the thick black rubber ramps under my tires? Those are the tire cradles. They keep the tires from getting flat spots when it's stored in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08G8V8 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 My dad won a trip from Marlboro to a racing school on the night of his retirement party awhile back. So he and his wife went to Colorado for this racing school where they teach you to drive Mustangs (stick and auto) on a road coarse, Van Diemen open wheel cars on the track, and IROC stock cars. About a year after they got back from the trip, which they said was unbelievable, all the prior winners got a letter from Marlboro to send an entry form to 5 friends/family members for a drawing for another trip. He sent one to me, my 2 brother in-laws, my step brother, and a friend of his. I WON! So, all the winners got to take a guest, so I took my dad. This time the school was at California Speedway in Fontana, CA. This trip was unbelievable. They treated us like Kings! They started off by sending me a check for $2000 to cover the taxes since the trip was valued at over $10K, and had to report it to the IRS. Airfare for both of us covered, hotel, 3 great meals each day, free gifts in your room every night. Entertainment every night. One night they took us to the Fender guitar museum. You get to drive each of the (3) types of cars for 1/2 day so 2 times with each car over the 3 days of school. Then they have a big party for you the last night with a great dinner and open bar. No drinking allowed until the last night. I won the best time for the Mustang on the road coarse for the automatic. I had the best time in both auto and stick until the final run and somebody beat my stick time, so I took 2nd in that. I don't smoke, but you have to fill all the paperwork out basically as if you are a smoker. If you ever see a signup for a Marlboro promotion, DO IT! They also do other trips like a ranch trip to Montana. They also gave us our helmets, racing shoes, and racing gloves to keep. Photoalbums of professional pictures they took during the school. It was the best thing I've ever won, and probably ever will win. My dad won and also got to go as a guest. Anyway, here are a few pictures: I'm on the far left in the front row, and my dad is on the far right in the front row: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2hill Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 It's not 'big' but this was waiting on me when I got home today and I had to post it. I registered my purchase on the manufacturers website, and they sent me this thank-you: (just the one on the right!) Notice the 'Junkman stripe' on the backing pad!
