The biggest thing I ever won........
October 4, 1983 I scratched a Lotto ticket for $21,000.
I paid off all my bills, then went into debt for a $30,000

Good thread Cjack.
I've never won BIG time ^^^, but have been fairly lucky with smaller drawings and such. You all know of our exceptional streak (except this year  ) at the annual outdoor banquet. The other major repetitive wins I've had was years back when I attended reverse raffles regularly.
Most of them have 'after dinner activities', and not being a card player, I always was ended up at the center of the craps game and was out of there by midnight with up to $700. When I got home I would empty my pockets into a large paper bag, then let everybody draw out one bill ($5-$50) the next morning. [made my night out more acceptable  ]
One time I managed to talk myself out of $2,500.  If you know how most reverse raffles work, the last 5 tickets in the drum are normally called up front and allowed to 'negotiate' any split agreed to. One ticket holder wasn't present, so we had to let it run until he was drawn or won. That ticket was pulled 4th. At that point we could split any way we wanted. I wouldn't go for an even split but did feel we should each get something for getting this far. We agreed last ticket out got half the $5,000 pot, second last got $1,500 and third last, $1,000). I was still very happy to leave with my last ticket out winnings.
(no craps game that night  ) LOL

Won an album from a radio station back in the 60s (still have the LP), in the last decade I managed to win tickets to the speedway races (took both boys for a LOUD night out), other than that, not much. Wife won a microwave at a casino/auction night her employers put on, we still have it & use it everyday.

I won a waterbed at the after graduation dance in high school.
I've won Chiefs tickets.
I'm pretty sure I've won some other things but those are what I remember now.

When we bought our house back in '77, we went to a local festival (we hadn't unpacked our dishes yet) for supper. Won a water softener for the house. Since then, the city started softening the water, so we gave our water softener to my brother-in-law and he's still using it.

The biggest prize I've ever won is $350 last year in the NCAA Basketball Tournament Pool. Only time I've ever won the thing.
And DB, you're forgetting your huge winnings at the Riverboat Casino.
