Question What is the best prize you have ever won in a contest or giveaway?

and no not just here at Cappers Mall

Anyone ever win anything really big or exciting?

I've never won any huge grand prize but we did win a Martin guitar one time and since neither of us play we sold it and went to Vegas.

I won an S-10 pickup two weeks before I turned 16 in a raffle. Black with a flame paint job - back when that was cool...

Was recently at a Ducks Unlimited banquet and bought 2 raffle tickets/$20 a piece for a gun. Won a Remington 1187 DU Limited Edition shotgun. Values at about $1,500. Needless to say I almost shat when I found out what it was worth.

the only thing I've ever won, is 50,000 AA Skymiles, and 3 day 2 Night to trip San Antonio at the St Anthony, a historic hotel. It was cool, they gave us the mayor's Suite, about the size of 4 normal rooms. Plus Air fare, dinners, lunches (all over the riverwalk) and day pases to Fiesta and Sea World. it was a completly different trip. I would have never paid for it but it was cool and made the wofe happy. Over all it was worth about $3600.
