:sunny: I SHOULD HAVE POSTED THIS A LONG TIME AGO. IN 2005 I WON THE SPORTS GETAWAY SWEEPS FROM HICKORY FARMS. IT WAS $6,000 IN AIR AND HOTEL. AND $2,764 TO HELP PAY THE TAXES ON THE WIN. THE ONLY STIPULATION WAS THE TRIP HAD TO BE BOOKED VIA THEIR BOOKING AGENT. THAT LADY WAS VERY NICE. UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE I AM LEGALLY BLIND I CANNOT ENGAGE IN SPORTING ACTIVITIES SO I SIGNED MY HUSBANDS NAME TO THE CONTEST. WELL HE JUST TOOK OVER AND PLANNED A TRIP TO HUNT CARIBOU IN CANADA. I DID TELL HIM THAT HE COULD TAKE ME TO THE HULA BOWL IN HAWAII BUT NO. HE HAS SINCE BEEN TOLD THAT IN THE FUTURE I MAKE ALL THE DECISIONS ON HOW THE WIN IS TO BE USED. I SIT HERE DAY AFTER DAY AND ENTER CONTESTS. I GUESS THIS MUST SOUND SELFISH BUT THAT'S THE ONLY BIG WIN I'VE EVER RECEIVED. I'M NOT TOTALLY SURE I ENTERED THRI S.A. BUT THEY DO SUCH A GOOD JOB AND I DO ENJOY ENTERING THESE CONTEST
 
:sunny: That was a fantastic win! So glad to hear that you set him straight on future wins. Hope you win a great trip that you can enjoy.
 
Its not selfish at all.
I recently won a huge trip to Comic Con in San Diego, and I took my boyfriend along.
He wanted to do everything his way, and wanted me to go with him to whatever
he wanted to do, and he shot down when I suggested that we go see or do something I wanted.
I finally had to set him straight.
So I feel where you are coming from.
