Lunar Picks – What is the BEST Prize you Ever Won?
In honor of the awesome iPad contest (I Love Lunarpages) we are currently running, this month’s Lunar Pick is:
What is the best prize you won in a contest and what did you have to do to win it?
Ben: The best prize I ever won in a contest goes back to the same year that I was born. It was the Long Beach Baby Pageant of 1987, where babies are judged by our smiles, attention spans, a diaper-derby, and overall cuddliness. I won first place in the Diaper Derby, and overall I took 2nd place – Champion Chubby. The trophy I won is (hands-down) my most prized possession.
Zach: The best prize I ever won was free concert tickets to the red hot chili peppers. I had to be caller 98 for the radio station 98.7.
RAT: My band won the local ‘battle of the bands’ contest and we won a trip to Nashville, TN. to compete on a National TV show called ‘You Can Be A Star’ with Jim Ed Brown.
Amy: I used to be a contest junkie, especially local radio contests in Australia. I actually won a job at the station for a couple of months, co-hosting a breakfast radio show and when it was over, they gave me a weekend away and we ended up in the penthouse suite of the Marriot (Michael Jackson had stayed there just a few weeks before)!
Orlando: Best Prize: Wife
What I did: 3.5 years hard labor dating, listened to the following comments:
“I don’t think my family likes you, but I do”
“my mom likes you but not my dad”
“my sisters don’t like you”
“one of them likes you now” you guys get it.
6 years later tomorrow “wait my family loves you but I’m not sure I do”
OMG…
Greg: I’ve never won anything…except the $6 on the lottery scratcher my friend gave me the other night, then I just gave it right back to him since it was his $.
Jay: I won $1000 in a radio contest and then went in the drawing for the $10,000 grand prize. I had to let them do whatever they wanted to me, so they dressed me as a woman, waxed everything, tinted my eyelashes, had me in a pink sequin dress, feather boa and heels, and they dyed a blond strip through my hair. There are photos in a magazine somewhere (hopefully destroyed by now).
Roy: There was a sales contest at my job over 10 years ago and I was the top sales winner for the store and I won a very nice mountain bike, 32” TV and other little prizes. To this day, still have the bike and TV.
Joe: The best price that I won would be 1st place in badminton tournament during my 11th grade in high school.
I had to practice it with my father every evening (approximately about 3 hours per day).
Shawn: It’s always fun having to sweep through 15 – 20 people to take home 1st place on the weekly poker game. It’s usually about a $200 prize. Although that hasn’t happened for me for a while now 
Michael: Best one would have to be my Minnesota Vikings football (US football) helmet. Won it in a flag football tournament. The players on the winning team all got replica helmets of the team of their choice.
Ahmed: The best prize was $500 gift card from a sales job I had. We had a slow product and we were asked as a team to increase the sales by 140%, I was the 1st sales person to meet the goal and exceed it by 15% bringing my sales to 155% increase for the product.
What is the best prize you ever won?
