[kahljorn]

I won a paid vacation to mexico once but they didn't give it to me because I was under the age of 25 and couldn't attend their timeshare meeting which was required to receive the prize.

How did you win it by the way? I need to win some money :(

[noob3]

are you sure you really won anything at all?

[Grislygus]

Uh... yeah, did he just say timeshare meeting?

[noob3]

How did you win it by the way? I need to win some money :(

My girlfriend's dad's co-worker found a slot machine in Shawnee (about 30 minutes away from Oklahoma City), that apparently had some sort of glitch in the way it rolled out. My girlfriend's dad told my girlfriend's mom (addicted to gambling, btw), who told my girlfriend, who told me.

So we went down there, got a hotel & spent 2 weeks turning 20's into 400-1000 dollars at a time. And eventually, they shut them down & fixed 'em. My girlfriend won way more then I did, as she did it before quite a bit before she told me. And my girlfriend's mom won even more than her!

[MarioRPG]

What were you doingto win and how many tries did it take to win this? :)

[kahljorn]

yes, it was a sweepstakes for 75,000 dollars or a super hummer or something like that, maybe we'll win that.
The paid vacation was supposed to be a bonus prize but when we went to the conference(that they harassed us into going and bribed us with snacks and promises of punch) they told us we weren't old enough to attend the timeshare that was required to attend in order to get it. All we have to do is attend their timeshare meeting and tell them we don't want it, sort of like the family guy episode with the boat or the mystery box.

The age thing is a demographic to hopefully attract people with alot of money who can actually afford their product. They told us once we turn 25 we'll still be eligible to receive the prize. The hilarious thing is that the first three or four times they called within a month, and everytime they offered us a Bonus bonus prize(including saying they've added it to the "prize list"), like a free gift certificate etc. They still do that now, because they call us every three months to tell us we've won this prize we can't yet receive.

[executioneer]

aer you gonna keep workin or are you gonna retire noob :x

[noob3]

fortunatley i got fired the 2nd day i started gambling, which was awsome! they said i almost hit some hospital admin guy, who paid my company to be there. but i'm pretty sure i'd remember almost hitting somone.

but then again, that night i only got 2-3 hours of sleep. i had to drive 40 minutes to work from shawnees. i was probably half asleep when it happened. i need to get a new one. i want to be a courier for a lab, and drive around in a corolla all day. there's one by my house, i need to go apply. i might have to be 21, though.

i need to go to community college :x

[EVILCAKE]

[MrAdventure]

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Wow your lucky man. I won 10 bucks in kindergarten and it felt like a million at the time. Ha. Mind you this was 97, so as a kid with ten bucks I could hit a candy shop and get twice as much. It was like heaven for about 3 weeks. Anyway congrats on the slots.

[DamnthatDavid]

Nice roll of luck dude. You should shove that money into a bank account and let interest make you even more.

[Twila13]

I guess it's not a lot of money, but it was when I was a senior in high school...I won $500...At my senior class all night party thingy...in a drawing. It was fantabulous.

You might want to start an investment porfolio. And hire an accountant to do your taxes.

[Zomboid]

I'd do one of the following

A)quit my job and do absolutely nothing for at least a couple months, then find a new job

OR

B) go to college and have a decent setup :(

[Jixby Phillips]

I would put it in the bank

I would buy a bunch of DVDs that I want but haven't bought because I am trying to not spend lots of money lately

I would renew my costco membership!

I would buy my dogs a presne

I would buy a hybrid car, thats my pressent to the enviornment

i'd sell the old car, so dont go saying i'd have no money left!

buy a plane ticket to somewhere, ANYWHERE!

[executioneer]

i totally would buy a new car or at least a good used one :(

[Les Waste]

hey noob! Can I have some money? I won't pay you back, but I want it anyway. If you see my other thread, you'll see that the job hunt is killing me to a degree that I just got my power shut off. I kinda assume my water is gonna follow soon, but that's just cause I'm broke.

Also the day I got my power turned on was like Christmas morning to me (mainly because I paid off the bill I originally paid whilst drunk all at once on a Friday so everything was off for all one weekend until the ensuing monday). So when said Monday came, and at 9 AM when it came back on my huge fan kicked in and I thus entered an orgasmically awesome kind of sleep for the next few hours. It's sort of like cutting yourself-- it's not the actual pain that makes you feel good, but it's the high you get from recovering from said wounds that makes you feel fucking AWESOME.

You here that, Noob?! Gimme some scratch or I'll cut myself!

[noob3]

oh you silly cutters you

i might aswell be giving it away, fucking i've been blowing it crazy at casinos. i've lost $600 so far just his week at black jack/hold'em

mostly black jack ;(

i'm done with casinos haha

[Jeanette X]

oh you silly cutters you

i might aswell be giving it away, fucking i've been blowing it crazy at casinos. i've lost $600 so far just his week at black jack/hold'em


Fuck.

You utterly stupid sack of shit.

You get an assload of money and blow it at the casino, while I sit here with $16,000 worth of student loans to pay?


Fuck.

[Jixby Phillips]

I know, its just too much to bear!

[noob3]

don't forget all the money i get to blow on drugs!

AND LOBSTER

bitch lol

[kahljorn]

yea you're livin the high life now bub but you know what happens when you live the high life the stress of being so high eventually becomes too strong flying high is too high friend you gotta calm down soar a bit enjoy life you know don't just waste it frivelously, frivelous expenditure doesn't necessarily mean happiness you know what I mean so keep it smooth brother and lay off them crack lobsters.

[noob3]

well so far me and my girlfriend are mapping out our future together, i'm pretty much done blowing money

except i might buy some more guitar stuff

[Mike]

This is why people stopped jumping up and down yelling "I's rich, I's rich!" Now they just put it in their mason jars and SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT. The rest of us have got bills to pay.

[GADZOOKS]

Mike, you are brilliant!

[Mike]

F off

[Chojin]

no mike really that was some superb insight

[draw a sidewalk]

people should spend their money on exploring more

yay for adventuring to random towns.

[kahljorn]

The aforementioned "Winings" in this thread FINALLY went through. We ended up scoring two 4 night 3 day vacations, which we are going to take to Kono, Hawaii and Los Cabos, Mexico(Those two options are mixed with Orlando, Reno or Los vegas, HARD DECISION MAKING). We also got 300 dollars worth of online 'shopping spree'.
Oh yea and a gift certificate for 50 bucks to black angus.

I OWE IT ALL TO THE MAGIC OF INTERNET SYNCHRONICITY

[noob3]

if you are serious, that is really awsome!

[kahljorn]

I'm damned serious!

[noob3]

i know people who would never consider a vacation to mexico a vacation, but it's really fun there!

[kahljorn]

well it's los cabos which is a tourist resort I think. I live in california so I've been to mexico a few times, I like it. I've never been to los cabos though :O

never went out of the continental either so going to hawaai should be interesting.

[Gorlack the Destroyer]

I've only won $4 on scracth lottery tickets.
