I won a 2gig iPod Nano from Fatwallet a few years ago. I took the unopened box to the Apple Store and they let me upgrade it to a 4gig for the $50 difference.

MS Office at a Boston MacWorld
and from dealmac, a 128MB USB drive (they had told me I had won a DVD burner, this back when they were a luxury - I was so excited and told everyone I knew only to have it retracted two days later).

I seem to keep winning little raffles lately. Usually stuff I have no use for.
Most recently a $25 gift card to the Pearl Izumi Fashion Victim Outlet Store. I tossed it in the envelope with my bike league donation for the ED to use.
Oh, and a Karoake contest at work-- $75 gift card-- we were supposed to split it 3 ways but we gave it to the guy who'd been out of work until recently.

I drew a souped up AMC Gremlin with a flame job for a 6th grade art contest. I took first prize (a package of stickers).
It helped that my 6th grade teacher was a motorhead.

Won the best thing you can win, my son beat cancer. Nothing else in life will ever come close.

wow Golfer, that is way above the scope of this thread. Glad to hear it though. How old is he now? when was the battle with cancer?

All expense paid trip for two to Jamaica, all inclusive, and $500 spending money.
My brother in law has won more stuff than I could list- trips, tickets, signed sports jerseys, guitars, dinners, etc. He was a finalist to win a $300K house earlier this year, ended up in the top ten. I keep encouraging him to buy lottery tickets.

Bought a Blueberry iMac back in the day, and filled out an HP survey card that came with it. Didn't even realize it was part of a drawing.
Few weeks later, FedEx delivered the Strawberry iMac DV that I won.

I won an iPod nano at the local Safeway earlier this year following their store renovation.
I won a $6 gas card from the same Safeway on Monday.
My band won a county-level battle of the bands in High School, which included a weekend of recording time at this studio- http://www.sheffieldav.com/studioa.htm
I won a Redskins football jersey from Sears when I was a kid.
