I'm a pretty unlucky person, at least when it comes to competitions. I don't think I've ever won any of the random draws that I've entered, I'm not a very good sportsman, and my lack of personality means I've never managed to win a Ciddie either. Overall, success isn't something that comes easily to me. In fact, the only notable thing I've won recently is last season's EoFF Premiership Fantasy Football League, and I didn't even get a trophy. :(

Are you a lucky/successful person when it comes to competitions? What was the last thing you won?

I don't think I've won anything big...Well, the soccer team I'm at wins more than it loses, but it probably doesn't have much to do with individual quality (what I'm trying to say is: I'm not that good :D ); I never won the lottery, though I have amazing luck for some things (or used to have...I caught very rare Pokémon in a few minutes in the games, I won battles against bosses with 1 HP left and such...In these days, it's even hard to score a critical hit in FFX...)

So, I consider myself to be an unlucky person at this point of time. I've been very lucky, but there's someone up there that doesn't like me much (I'm talking about Superman...Who else?).

I won a trip to Warwick Castle for a colouring-in competition (I coloured in some pigs and some chickens!), and I won a sandcastle making competition in France and the prize for my valiant efforts on the unforgiving French dunes was some blowy bubble stuff. Very much worth it. Admittedly both of these victories happened over 10 years ago, but rest assured I will win something soon!

OH WAIT! I kicked the collective asses of Azar, Del Mordor, Faris and kikimm at Yahoo! Graffiti last night. Repeatedly. :cool:

Not really, but I did win one of those "Guess the number of Candy Corn" competitions and I won a huge giant basket of candy when I was little. :D

Well... the only Ciddie I ever won is 'Horniest Member'... I thought I won another one... maybe not.

I am not lucky, but I can manipulate people into helping me win... except for these people online.

I am never really in competitions. Oratorical competitions I don't do the best, but at least I got picked for them. I was in Reach for the Top this year at school, and our first tournament ever we won 4 out of 5 games, losing the last by 10 points (ie one question). I was mostly competitive in school, with marks and grades. When someone said they were going to beat me in a class, I would try to beat them. In the end I graduated reasonably well standings. But besides that, I suck at sports and never been into too many competitions.

Awards I have won: Like 5 years ago I got one for knowing 50 parts of a horse correctly. (I got a trophy, my first and only, for this one)

I got the highest Pascal mark in my school, which I received a medal.

I got the Governer General award at graduation. (Its a nice bronze medal)

Save those, nothing much.

In general I have luck. Oh at Safe Grad I won something in Bingo!!!!

Modesty is good. Usually I come off bragging, unintentionally, therefore I now try to be modest.

Winning isn't my thing. I just do my best and let what results may be come. While this mentality hasn't helped me win many competitions, it has helped me get nearly anywhere I want in life, which I'll gladly take instead. :)

The last thing I won was a poetry contest that was forced upon me by my English teacher. I hated every minute, from getting the assignment until I finally turned the danged poem in but alas! I won! I still don't know how.... O.o

I am lucky in all things but random winnings. I will never win the lottery, scratchcards, the randomly selected honor roll student prize, etc.

But sometimes I can scrape by on merit.

Well, it seems that I've been getting my ass kicked a lot lately. xD

I never usually win anything. I've come to accept that, so it doesn't bother me any more. Not really. I am fond of boasting and bragging before my downfall, though; so perhaps I jinx myself.

Don't remember the last thing I won. Don't even remember the last time I entered something.

I had forgotten about that. But I don't remember me winning. Just a bunch of circles.

I won $50 at a Rockford (Illinois) Cubbies game when I was a kid. There were seven people and seven colored envelopes, and all had fifty bucks except one with $500. One of the Cubbies' pitchers kept telling me to pick the purple one, but I thought he was just trying to screw with me, so I picked the green one, because green's my favorite color and I figured money is green so hey why not. The purple one had $500 in it. What a dumb kid, huh?

And when I was in second grade, I won one of those guess-the-candy-number things, but some other kid got second place and ended up with half of my stash of Tootsie Roll Pops. Damn kid. He was fat, too, he didn't need 'em. Give 'em to the scrawny kid!

And a couple weeks ago I won a placement in English 150 instead of 101 or 102 with my essay at college orientation! But I guess that's not really winning.

I win stuff all the time. wrestling matches, staring contests, swimming contests, sleeping contests, staying awake contests. mind you I cheat in most of them, all but swimming and wrestling I cheat in. cause cheating lets you win. usually.

If it's something of great personal importance, I'll lose it.
If I could care less, I tend to win.

Funny how that works.
