Subject: RE: BS: Best thing you've ever won!!
Things that I've worked for, the Pacific Air Force Talent Contest (Folk/Country category) in 1965 and several in-house writing awards at newspapers I've worked for.

Things that I've just bought tickets for: Five numbers on the 6/49 draw three times (about $2,300 Cdn each time),
Five number on the Encore once ($1,000 Cdn)
Numerous four-number wins (about $65 each time)
At one event at the Press Club I won a neat sweatshirt, two tickets to a play by the Stratford Festival players and something else — can't remember what it was.
A Cort Earth 100 guitar that was raffled off by our Folk Society — it's the guitar I play most often now
Numerous turkeys, bottles of booze and other things in in-house raffles, sports pools and other fundraisers at work.

One of the times I won with five numbers on the 6/49, I was one digit (I had a 14 and the drawn number was 15) from $16 million.
