The closest I've ever come to a "big win" was when my wife's cousin's friend won a fairly large 6/49 jackpot. Despite knowing the statistics of it, I always enter our yearly lotto pool at work, because I don't want to be the one guy on staff that didn't enter the year everyone else won.
Just the standard free burger or something. Although I'm sure that over the years I've won billions in cars and travel, but I refuse to log on to some soda company's website and enter that stupid code. Just bring back the "you win" or "Sorry, please try again."

I've got a question for all Safeway shoppers... Have any of you EVER won anything from that stupid little card they give you at the till? Every single one of the hundreds upon hundreds I've ever gotten have won me sweet F.A.
And no, I've never gone online and entered the code.

When I was working for Safeway we had this older guy named Harold who loved to piss off management any way he could. Back when the CO-OP was opened in Shawnessey he entered his name into a draw for a big screen TV. He wins and his name and picture were printed in a CO-OP flyer. Store manager sees the ad, calls Harold into the office and blows a gasket. I could hear all this yelling asking wtf was he doing shopping a competitor. The door to the office opens and Harold comes out with a huge grin on his face.

The one cashier at the Safeway just off Centre St and north of McKnight had a crush on me and used to give me a sheaf of the things every visit; I must have gotten several hundred in the two years she was working there and absolutely bupkis!
No wait, I lie - occasionally I'd get 10 extra Air Miles. Since I use my mother's Air Miles card (because they sell your info for marketing purposes, and I don't like that, but she doesn't care as long as she gets free stuff), those did me no good at all.

My mom was telling me that she won a Roots backpack last year. It turned out that this tiny Roots backpack was completely covered in Safeway logos all over the pack. She simply gave it back because it was hideous. She couldn't believe they considered that a 'prize'.
No Safeway, that's merely a hideous advertisement for you guys.

I never get anything when Tim Horton's has its Roll up the Rim contest. I think it's a conspiracy and all the winning cups are kept out east.
I won a $50 Tim Card last year with the roll up the rim thing. Aside from the odd free coffee, that's the best that I have been able to muster.
Outside of Tim Horton's wins... well I won a trip once that the operator insisted that I needed to provide my credit card number to reserve my spot.
"Can I think about this and call you back?"
"No, you need to reserve your spot with a deposit on your credit card"
"On my free trip?"
"Yes"
"Go f*** yourself"

My wife and I encountered a nice, young cashier the night that the contest ended, just before closing. He basically handed us an enormous stack of these things. Literally hundreds of them.

I guess that one doesn't count, eh?
I got that one too. Entered a draw at the Edmonton Indy and "won" this prize (which was unrelated to the prize I entered in the draw).
Better than nothing, I guess.
