Got an email the other day... Subject starts "congratulations you have won"... I send it to the junk without opening it or even looking who sent it. Figured it was just another lottery gimmiky thing.

Yesterday the postman bangs at the door, I have to sign for a letter...

I really did win a contest Shocked

I won a $1500 gift certificate to SportsChek ( sporting goods chain here in canada) and a years supply (52 boxes) of whole wheat pasta.
I must have entered the contest at the supermarket and forgot all about it.

I checked my email and lo and behold it was telling me that the postman would be bringing the letter and what I had to do to claim my prize. I answered the skill testing math question, and faxed off the release as required.

I really should be paying more attention.

@B.A . as ^^^^ so eloquently put it, Canada is not as gun and ammo owner friendly as our neighbours to the south.

A trunk box of pasta, has the pasta been marked with a special ink that needs washing with a special chemical Wink

I won something before; It was from the Quaker Oatmeal company. I won a Superman action figure and a Superman Xbox 360 game. I was great -- well, winning a contest for was great, the game -- not so much. I don't expect to win anything ever again. Crying or Very sad

You're lucky you got the prize.

I have visions of baiters refusing to pick up the parcel until the post office fills in a 52 page form...

I just won a $25.00 gift card to Target for bringing my lunch to work on ozone days. Hmmmm, I wonder what I am going to buy?

Congrats on the big win!
