Because I totally misinterpreted another thread... are you lucky? Do you win contests, lottery, etc?
I've never won anything luck related. My DH is super lucky, he won $200 the other day gambling (he rarely gambles), he won a large money pool at work, he won a free cake, the guy is lucky!

No. But I don't participate in that sort of stuff enough to have a lot of opportunities.

No. Although I did play two dollar scratch-offs yesterday and won two free tickets. I then lost with the two subsequent scratch-offs.

Nope but I don't participate in ones where you need to put money in, in the first place. I can't gamble with the money we do have it's too risky for us.

@Mae: He doesn't either, it's really weird. We were at the bakery the other day and they had a "guess how many jelly beans" and he randomly put in an answer, week later we got a call that we won a free cake.

@Bao: it doesn't have to be money related... two of the things he won there was no money involved. He won a free cake by guessing the number of jelly beans and he won me a signed micheal kors bag by entering a drawing at the store..

@littlek: that's why I said money related ones 
as far as regular contests I don't participate much in them.

Nope! While I've never felt particularly unlucky either, I never seem to win that kind of thing! Oh, well except I did get a voicemail the other day about winning a cruise... 
ETA: Actually, when I think harder, I won $300 for college supplies in a drawing from the place I bought my prom dress. And when I was 7 I won a stuffed polar bear from A&W from a drawing they do with their kid's meals. But that night our dog, who was then a puppy, chewed it's face off...so I'm not sure that counts. And since they both happened over 8 years ago, I'm not sure they count anyways! lol

In college I actually won $1,000 from a Drakes Cake box! I couldn't believe it. I've won other small things too like a free dress, cookies, chicken dinner, etc

The only thing I've ever won was a power washer when I was 17. Score?!

I don't think I'm lucky, but I've won a few giveaways. Back before I had a kid and had a lot of extra freetime, I would enter nearly every giveaway from Allure, glamour, marie claire magazine. I won a $1000 asos shopping spree, a piece of makeup, and a gentle fawn military peacoat. I also won a winter emergency kit for the car that I never received.
I think I won those due to the sheer amount of giveaways I entered. Sometimes I enter a few here and there but I haven't won anything in 2-3 years.

Nope, but I don't really sign up for many giveaways and I don't gamble/play the lottery either.

The most random lucky thing was winning a scratch off at a wedding a month or so before LO was born. I even took a picture of it. Otherwise, I won a giveaway on HB

Sometimes. I won a giveaway here on HB and I won tickets to see The Killers in London a couple years ago.
I don't consider myself overly lucky, though.

@Pumuckl: I would be happy with that love. I love a cone from McDonald's!
I have won a couple things but I don't win more then I ever win.

Yes! I've won 2 all expense trips to Vegas, a bike, a pair of $300 Maui Jim sunglasses, scratcher lotto tickets, sports tickets, concert tickets, and raffles at work. I win stuff all the time!

@Littlebit: I knew someone had to be lucky on here!! That's awesome!

Nope. I do enter contests a lot, too. DH figures I'm bpund to win something, but nothing so far.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
I probably don't participate enough to increase my chances for winning so no, I never win anything

Every once in a while. I went to a benefit lunch with some people from work and bought $40 in raffle tickets. They posted the winners right after the luncheon, and I won 3 baskets! One had a Nook Color in it...I was pretty excited!
pomegranate / 3980 posts
I never really participate because when I do I never win. Though the other day by some freak accident I won an evenflo travel system from Walmart! I was pretty excited lol.

Every once in a while DH and I will get lucky. We won airfare and a hotel stay at his office party. The next year we won like a 42 inch flat screen tv. He can't participate going forward bc he got a huge promotion and members of the executive team aren't allowed to enter into the raffles for prizes.

I've won two instagram giveaways for Freshly Picked moccs, which is super insanely lucky because so many people enter those. We LOVE them.

I also once won a suitcase at a bridal show. I've never won any money though.

I won free engagement photos. I was so shocked, I convinced myself it was fake haha.
Other than that I've only won a few bucks on scratchers. But I don't enter a lot
