The only legit thing I've won is $4500 on Powerball about 10 yrs ago.But lately I decided that to avoid interrogation from her indoors I would print my own raffle ticket that just happened to have the prize I was saving up for,like a Panasonic blu ray recorder with 500gb hd.It took a few months for the draw to take place, but I was happy to leave it stuck on the fridge and put up with her telling me I'd wasted my $10.
Then when the day arrived I got a mate from work to phone up to say I'd won,then she'd phone me to tell me I had to go and pick it up.Finished work early that day but managed to get there before the shop closed.
Have now got tickets to win a weekend for 2 in Melbourne and then might look into a Braumeister for xmas ,just need to work out what size. :)
Remind me not to buy a ticket .

Pure genius, going to go enter a raffle for a makita tool package to fill up the shed!
 
Best win=Keno Promo. BBQ, beer, eskys etc.

Best win FAIL=Entered a guitar comp, got annouced as the winner. Swaggered up on stage, just as they hand me a cheque and shake the hand......oh..hang on.....we made a mistake. We meant someone else. Can we have the cheque back.
 
Getting married next year and the mrs went to a bridal show thing a few weeks back. I won a free leave pass for the night so the boys came around for a drink.

Oh and she won the lucky door prize, a trip to Mauritius.

Genius, except how do you syphon the cash for the item? Have more 'expensive' lunches for a few months?

Genius, yes. But how many times can you win a raffle. All wives think their husband is the luckiest man in the world. Your's must really think so.
