Sh1t, WhiteyDog, that's more than I've ever won. The only thing I have ever won is a free ride to jail.

:lol::lol:Ha Haaaa!!!!! Then I guess I made out better than you and Kong76. I should be grateful for what I won. (I picked the fly swatter).:lol::lol:

He is part of the car scene. Last time anyone had seen he had a 94-96 Impala SS.

$26500 fed income tax here in Ca. Oddly no state tax on sweepstakes winnings.

Is that due all at once or can u spread it out?

That depends on how fast you can run and how sneaky you are! ;)

That would have been a great prize to win. I entered probably a dozen times and hoped I would have a chance.

The best thing I (almost) won was VIP tickets and 2 days in LA when Jay Leno returned to the Tonight Show. I was the first winner selected, but didn't check my email and reply within 48 hrs as required to win, due to my job. :( And Jay Leno is one of only a few celebrities I would have liked to meet.

Tax year 2016....Due April 2017..:doh:

Easy for me. I only wanted the Raptor so I'd sell the GT and trailer, keep the tools. Then I'd have money for taxes, mods for the Raptor and my GT.

Things I've "won" in my life. I have a good memory so:

AGE: WON:
6yrs - second hand stuffed animal dog with barking voicebox, 1st grade raffle
10yrs - inflatable soccer ball - abacus class monthly drawing
22yrs - Mr. Clean Autodry Car Wash System - lexus car meet
26yrs - my girlfriends heart
28yrs - $80 from sitting 4 hrs playing 1¢ penny slots
29yrs - $10 from a $5 CA scratcher ticket

Same here. I already have the Mustang I want, less a few goodies. The Raptor would be sweet to pull a boat or hit some off roading, though.

I won a hand blown glass pumpkin in a raffle after running a pumpkin festival 5k. I gave it to my mom. The funniest part is, a buddy who ran with me was like "I sat here this whole time waiting to see if I won that pumpkin! I hate you!"

I'd say you're a winner right there then.

Missed an 80million dollar jackpot by 1 number....

Had like a 19 instead of a 21 or a 21 instead of a 19.

Won 1800 bucks because it was the easier way. If I had 5 of 5 no mega I would have won 31k. 6 out of 6 and I would have had to split the jackpot.

You didn't need that hassle, anyways. Like Biggie said, "mo money, mo problems."

I am a well armed introverted asshole.

Winning a bunch of money isnt gonna change me into a social butterfly that tries to win people's love. Having drop out of society type money with critical mass being achieved, yeah I will do fine.

I have 15 Mustangs on my short list of cars I would buy if I won it huge.

Give me a smallish 2k sqft house and an 8k sqft shop/garage. You will likely never hear from me again as I will go full aspie playing with toys and treating them better than people as I do my best to live off the interest for the rest of my days.

Trying to model my life after Paul Newman with regards to track time and racing.
