    I won an Apex Award for an article I wrote on "The Under-Cover Angel" (not as erotic as it sounds).

    I got a bobble head for winning Fantasy Football (U.S.) a few years back.

    I won some award in an Academic Decathlon in H.S.

    I won a medal for predicting the London 2012 medals table.

    I also won a free coffee from the canteen at work for having the best suggestion for a drink they should add to their menu.

    That's about it.

    I peaked too early.

    uhhh, I used to win "Most warranty sales" a lot when I worked for HMV. This would usually result in my being given a copy of a chart game of my choosing, genuinely it got so bad, there wasn't anything left I wanted and I wound up removing myself from the competition.

    I also once won 2 tickets for Download at Donnington Park (metal festival) with camping by entering a text and win on the radio.

    Other than that, the odd ciddie here or there.

    Yup.
    Wouldn't knowing the correct Bible verse basically mean you already have a Bible? Bit of a strange reward to give you something you probably already have

    Some track events and cross-country meets in high school.

    Individual road races, and then series championships with my sidekick Raoul the racecar.

    I generally don't win things that are chance, but I've won a few times.

    First thing I can remember was winning a $100 gift card to Price Chopper at Wizards game. I was still in Elementary school and my parents just took the gift card for themselves, so it wasn't that special for me.

    I won a Disgaea game in a drawing over at Cim's forums which was pretty cool.

    The only other thing of note I can think of is scoring the winning goal of a soccer tournament in high school against the best team my school would ever probably play against. That was pretty cool I suppose. I even got a trophyat the end of the year for "best goal of the season" or something like that.
