Good Luck | pad patter 10.2.18

Definitely not.
I wouldn't say my sister is usually lucky, but whenever we both buy a ticket, then 9 out of 10 times it's her who wins something over me.
I have won some things, but not many. I remember waaaay back I won a year of new releases from Bella Gypsy!! That was one of my most awesome wins. And the time as a kid when I won 1 kilo of licorice with a colouring page. That was one awesome price at that age. My mom was less pleased through. lol!

 

Well.....I've been known to have some luck come my way.

I was on The Price is Right in 1998, I think (half of my episode was taken over by Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal so whatever year that took place). I won some pots and pans to get on stage. I played It's in the Bag and won $16,000. I spun the wheel and made it to the Showcase Showdown. I lost to a professional clown that lived in Las Vegas. Haha! I honestly don't know how I got picked. I was sick. We drove late the night before and got in line super early in the morning. I was crabby. They interview everyone in line and I kind of figured one of my friends would get chosen so when they called my name I was shocked.

I also won a year of free products from @justjaimee years ago. Then a few weeks later I snagged a spot on her creative team so I didn't really need the year of free product but that was cool. Some other lucky scrapper got to claim that prize from me.

 

Wow, @carrie1977 you have had some good luck! I don't have very good luck on winning prizes. I went with my dd and gs to a school dance last Friday and we bought a bunch of raffle tickets. They gave away nice prizes! Of course, we didn't win one thing. We laughed about it, because we said that we knew we wouldn't win. But it was for a good cause. LOL I've won two or three things here, though. I was shocked each time.

 

I did win $5,000 from a radio contest years ago but nothing since. I would love to win a year of products from a digital designer.

 

We typically win nothing outside of a bingo or raffle at the elementary school's Bingo night when the kids were students there. Except for one particular night when we each won a bingo game, and DD won a bike AND four season passes to King's Dominion (our local amusement park). She was beside herself! I always gave each kid $5.00 to purchase raffle tickets from whichever teacher they wanted, and she bought from the right one that night.

Other than that, it's usually quiet on the luck part here. I do believe we used up all of our luck on that one night!

 

I honestly don't know how I won. I really just guessed on all of the items and what they cost. And, you can hardly see into the audience when you are on stage so I couldn't see any of my friends for their advice. It's total chaos behind the scene. LOL!

 

I am not very lucky at all!
I did win $20 at a meeting before school started this year, but the only kind of big thing I've ever won was Queen of Scrap at Scrap Matters right before it closed in 2013. I got a 3TB EHD and RadLab

 

My daughter used to win everything - all the time! But lately her luck's gone a little dry. I guess it was just a streak for a few years there.

Me... I have never been a lucky ducky. That's why I do not do casinos!

 

Can't say I really ever considered myself a lucky person... I'm usually too cheap to pay to play raffles and things like that. I did win concert tickets on the radio station once not too long ago, so that pretty fun. My sister used to be the lucky one. She even won a publishers clearing house prize once that she didn't even enter for! We laughed about that for years. My youngest son also seems to be super lucky. He's constantly winning random prizes and drawings. It makes his brother flabbergasted.

 

We decided to play bingo on our first cruise we went on. Being the non-gambler I am, I didn't realize we were playing for money. My husband and I thought, Oh well, we already bought the tickets, let's just continue to play. We ended up winning $250 (which payed for our excursions)!

 

I would say I've had a BIT of luck- but not generally good luck. I did win concert tickets once. I did get 3rd place in my photo contest from Moraine Lake. Otherwise, I'm not terribly lucky! Thankfully, I'm not my dad or sister- who only seem to have bad luck!

 

that is a true blessing! fabulous practical luck!

 

In general, I'm not lucky at all. However I was lucky enough to be one of the winners from a Win Your WishList drawing here several years back - for me, it was the biggest deal of my life! (for the designers, not so lucky!) This might sound bad but it was better than winning lotto because of not having to share with my family because hey, what are they gonna do with a heap of digi stuff!
