Just checking if luck have hit you.
My biggest prize was playing bingo during a flight from Miami to Venezuela, that was many years ago, I don't even remember the name of the airlines...it was a Venezuelan one, not exist anymore.
And the prize was a roundtrip ticket to Miami.
I don't play the lottery or bingo anymore, I know luck won't hit me again.
What about you? Have you won an interesting prize?

My biggest prize so far, was last month walking on a street on Madrid I found a 20 EUR note.
It was a great gift to spend on some drinks the same day.
Easy come, easy goes!

The biggest prize for me was 5000 SATs I won by entering Stacker News. I've never been good at random stuff so I stay away from it. But 2 months ago when I started on SN there was a post offering 5000 SATs reward for explaining in a simple way a help to someone new to Bitcoin who wanted a non-custodial wallet.
I WAS NEW TO BITCOIN AND I RECENTLY HAD A NON-CUSTODIAL WALLET WITH THE CHANNEL OPEN AND READY. "PHOENIX"
So I explained how I did it and how I would help others do it. I got the prize. It was a reward for work and effort, it was PoW. Those are the best prizes for me.

I actually won basketball tickets from Coinbase as part of one of their promotions. I couldn't go because of travel, but even so, they were taxed and based on a price that was completely off market, so it was like I was buying them off Stubhub at a premium.....
Like they were 4 tickets valued at $1000. They were relatively standard lower level tickets in a major city (maybe in the corner) for a Saturday night game where tickets were around $100 each. If I took these, I'd owe regular income tax.... basically $100 per ticket.
Was very cool to win a big prize, then fully negated by the tax implication.
