I've won a few things. Small things. I won a Jackson's Victory tour Jacket in 1984. |

No, but my brother did win ƒ250,- (about US $120,-) from a radio station quiz show. |

I won a nice restaurant gift certificate recently. Another time I was the right caller to try a contest where I had a few seconds to guess the mileage between 2 cities with the DJ telling me my guess was too high or too low. For that I won a t-shirt and a chance to win a new VW Beetle. Pandora - You inspired this survey. You'll have to tell us all about your trip!  |

Kinda.. a guy won tickets to a hockey game and gave them to my sister.. and I got to go... but I guess that doesn't count. |

I used to listen to a local community radio station and I won lots of prizes, because there wasn't many other people trying. CDs, movie tickets, tickets to shows.... it was pretty cool. |

I won some record album I can't remember in a raffle-type contest by a radio station. |

giving oneself leftovers from no-one calling in to your show doesn't count then, eh? |
| SueBee | | posted 20-Feb-2000 6:45pm |
jzp - No, I don't think that would actually count as winning a prize. But you can tell us about it anyway, if you want to. Was it good stuff, or crappy stuff? |

I used to do this a lot. Once I had been on hold for 15 minutes with ticketmaster trying to buy tickets to a country music band, when the station offered their giveway. I hung up on ticketmaster, called the radio station and won the tickets! Phi even went with me to the show- what a trooper! I recently won a Rage Against the Machine CD from FNX, and they also sent a CD of "Music from the WWF"- it was the worst music I'd EVER heard! I almost regret lion and my breaking it in two, but we couldn't help ourselves at the time. I also won tickets to Pearl Jam on a night that I knew I couldn't go and gave them to phi and romkey, I think. |

awww.... jzp, that sounds so sad.  I guess now I know how I used to end up in two hour long telephone conversations with radio dj's in the middle of the night when I was in high school. Now that I think of it, the first concert I ever went to was one that i one tickets to when I was 16 or 17. Has anyone else ever heard of a rock band called "Crack the Sky" from about 84 or 85? |
| SueBee | | posted 20-Feb-2000 11:11pm |
topper - Did you actually win tickets to the concert you were calling TicketMaster to order, or were they tickets to a different concert? |
| mary | | posted 21-Feb-2000 12:26pm |
2 back stage tickets to 311, didn't go though |

Our local oldies station was outside our science museum and they asked me to spin a wheel for a prize. It was an absolute gimmee because everyone won something. I won baseball tickets. |

Twice! First time was: be the first caller with the right answer. I don't remember the question, but the answer was "Popcorn, by Hot Butter". I won a Russ Ballard album.
Next time was you sent in a card and if they called your name you got a certain amount of time to call in. I won $100. |
| Eeah | | posted 26-Feb-2000 5:40am |
Yea.. I got to meet that band "Bush".. |

Monday morning 28 February 02h58 and I just won! Listeners were asked to send an e-mail with funny attachment to the DJ and he picked mine!!
I won a t-shirt, some CD's and more. The DJ said he'd clean the attic and send me whatever he'd find! |
| SueBee | | posted 27-Feb-2000 10:22pm |
Too cool! mandy says he was probably just happy to have someone up listening to him at that hour! |

I wanted tickets to a concert so badly, and you had to be the 100th caller to win. I called and called, but I only got through as caller 34 once out of the trillion times that I called. I always got busy signals. So sad! |

I had to sing part of lyrics of a song |
