Anybody here ever win a big amount of cash?

			I don't think the question should be why you don't win anything.... instead, it should be.. "Why the F does everyone around you win stuff?". 
 
Seriously, knowing that many people with large winnings defies all normal odds.

			I bought a "Twist-A-Pepper" bottle of Dr. Pepper every day for lunch for an entire year. Odds of winning a free one were supposedly 1 in 12. I never won a single one.

			I won a meet and greet with In Flames on last year's Gigantour. I don't know if that counts, though, since I'm a part of their fan club, and they randomly picked five fans, and I was one of them.    
 
Aside from that, I won a free Coke Zero once.

			A few years ago me and my ex g/f went to this thing at the round up center called Toys for Boys and Pearls for Girls. We both entered a few contests and I won a car alarm from some local business, but the cheap asses wanted me to pay for install. Since my old beater truck was worth less than the alarm, I didn't bother. But my stuipd ex won a set of custom golf clubs. I was pissed. 
Other than the car alarm, all I've ever won is free coffee during roll up the rim. 
 
People who win stuff piss me off.

			I won two trips from work. Although, i had to work my freakin a$$ off to win them. Nevertheless Hollywood/Miami Florida was super fun and the 2nd trip was cancelled thanks to this lame economy. I got a cash prize instead. (i would've rather had the trip).
