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 Aug 22nd, 2006 02:02 PM

are you sure you really won anything at all?

Grislygus Aug 22nd, 2006 02:07 PM

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

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!

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

kahljorn Aug 22nd, 2006 02:33 PM

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.

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

noob3 Aug 22nd, 2006 03:21 PM

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

zeldasbiggestfan Aug 22nd, 2006 11:55 PM

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 Aug 24th, 2006 06:28 PM

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

Twila13 Aug 25th, 2006 11:04 AM

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.

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 Aug 28th, 2006 11:49 PM

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 Aug 29th, 2006 01:12 AM

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!
