wreck90: I won a plasma tv, computer and xbox 360 from a dvd rental website.
Never won anything in my life so was nice :) Just about dumped the winning email as spam ha ha.
dclegg: I won an iPod Shuffle via a Tegal Takeouts online competition, which I managed to sell on TradeMe for $10 more than retailers were selling it for at the time (lack of research by bidders FTW!). And my wife won a Playstation 2 in an Australian online competition when we were living there. But by far the most lucrative place I've found for winning stuff is Twitter. I've won the following by following various corporate Twitter accounts:-
$100 prepay credit (@VodafoneTreats)
$10 prepay credit (@TelecomNZ) (couldn't use it, so I gave it back to them after none of my followers wanted it)
Tickets to International and Warriors rugby league matches (@VodafoneTreats)
Tickets to Super 15 rugby matches (@BnzBank)
Bottle of wine (@AdvintageWines)
Iron Maiden Poster (@EmimusicNZ)
Various music related posters (@coupdemain)
Chocolate (@WhittakersNZ)
Free burgers (@BurgerfuelNZ)
That's all I can remember for now, so there may be more. So the moral of the story, boys and girls, is that not only is Twitter not a waste of time, but its also a fertile ground for free swag. :-)
