I have only won two prizes in my whole life...and both were related to videogames.

The first was and Atari T-shirt that I won in an Atari 2600 drawing at the local Venture store.

The other was an XBOX in the Taco Bell " Get It Before You Can Buy It' contest. I was a little disappointed, because I didn' t get mine until 2-3 months after the XBOX launch. I bought mine on launch day, because I didn' t even know that I won one until later.

So, what was the name of that contest again?

Anyway, those two prizes comprise the total of all my life' s contest winnings.

Have you won any prizes in your life? Tell us about it...

All ya gotta do is look under my name there . The same week I won3rd place in a digital art contest, that scored me a gift certificate for Best Buy. Those the only big things Ive won in my life.

Here' s my winning art - CountDown Love Poster

That artwork of yours is awesome!!! ...I like the countdown poem, too!

Was this a one-time thing, or have you done anything else?

That was the first time I entered ne contest, as I was pressured by my Graphic Arts teacher to do so. It was the firts time I done that type of art, I mostly stick to photography and pencils.

I' ll probably try another contest sooner or later once I gather up the insides to do so. But the thing about me is Im to critical for my own good.

Example- In school if my homework wasn' t satisfactory to me by the time it needed to be turned in, I refused to turn it in at all. I was often docked points and got a lower score then it woudlve been but hearing the teacher say, " This couldve been ' A' work had you turned it in ontime." was good enuff for me.

O yes BTW BIG THANKS for the comment on the poster.

I won a copy of Nightshade for the PS2 from this forum!

hmmm, i' ve won a free coke or two in my life, does that count? a muffin and a coffee in " roll up the rim" . That' s about it. $2 on a scratch and win... yeah.

In my Primary School I won two books of my choice by winning a drawing contest. I picked a book on trains as I was obsessed with them, and a strange Mario comic.

Years later I won a Dreamcast! Yey. The Sega Europe website was giving one away every week and I was the 4th person to win. I feel your pain Daroosh65 as my Dreamcast didn' t arrive till the end of October and the began being sold sometime in September. But being the kind souls that they are someone threw in Virtua Fighter 3 and Sega Rally 2 for being so patient. I' d already had Sonic Adventure bought on release day.

I won about £400 worth of xbox goodies in the xbox live contest.

Sadly I cant recall ever winning something big, except for a " coke" (if that counts), like Rikka said she won. It makes me so saaaad ... im going to win a car one day! I KNOW IT!!!

Hey Joe, do you know if I can win even if I am a " noobie" ?

< SARS!!!

Yeah I didn' t have very many posts when I won. I won on " pure awesomeness" .

You have to be a member of the forum for a month before you are in contention for a prize however. So you' ll be up for winning something in November

Reznor, what goodies did you get? £400 is a lot of cash.

Anyone wanting to win a copy of Halo 2 should go to the Mountain Dew website...

you could actually get your copy a week before everyone else gets the chance to play it!

Good luck!
