I was blessed to win 2 trips to Red River, NM back in June in a raffle they held to raise funds for some script writing thing to try and land a movie. I have yet to take the trips, but I'm taking my best friend because he's never been to the mountains. Hoping to go once in the winter and once in the summer. Taking a friend to the mountains? Wasn't there a movie about that. Maybe. Mine was in a severe car accident last year and died three times on the table. He survived despite having 11 broken ribs, a broken sternum, punctured both lungs (the left one twice), bruised his heart, broke his pelvis in 3 places (plus separated his SI joint), punctured his colon twice, ruptured his bladder and other fun stuff. I have spent the last 18 months helping him recover, including helping him walk again after having an external fixator screwed into is pelvis and being bedridden for 89 days. So, yeah. I'm taking my best friend on a vacation.

A couple of guns, coolers, ect... Nothing much over $1,000.
I can get you a $100 ticket for a brand new Honda Rancher 420 4x4 with a 14ft trailer. Probably have 1 in 2-300 chance.

I won a pair of shotguns a couple years back. Four or five years ago a good friend of mine won $60k at a Ultimate Texas Holdem table when we were all at a casino in Blackhawk, CO. He won the progressive jackpot with a max bet ($26) with a royal flush. Took us all out to a nice dinner (about 14 of us), bought himself a Barrett 50 BMG and then paid off a bunch of his debt.

My mother won the 1st U.S. lottery.
Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

A guy in my old bass club in H-Town hit a 2 million dollar scratch off. A picture of the ticket was posted here a few years ago.

Back when I was into Amateur Radio, I won a Yaesu FT-817 portable transceiver.
I won a Browning Maxus shotgun back in 2012 in a raffle at my gun club.
That is about it for my luck.
