RRrrrrroll up the rim to win!...
I am just a little curious on a vague tally for this. For those who do participate, let me know if you have won anything. Please vote every time you get a 'contest cup'...

I picked donuts--I won front row tickets on the radio to see Peter Hammil (the guitarist and vocalist for Van Der Graff Generator) in '75. I won $200 dollars on Powerball (lottery) when I was dead broke and living in Silver City. When I was a kid I used to win stuff wherever I went--I would leave carnivals with 6 huge stuffed animals at a time, fruit baskets and all sorts of stuff. When I was 12 I played one game of bingo, on the Orange Blossom Special (the train from Florida to NY) and won two huge bags of oranges. When I dragged them in to our stateroom my Dad said, "What the hell are we going to do with all these fraaking oranges!?"
fall far and well Pilots!

Pretty straight foward...have you ever won anything: contests, sweepstakes, trophies, Olympic medals, etc...
Of course people who ever won anything real big (except for say a car or house) would be foolish to list that here. If it involved a large sum of $ then hackers would be tracing that IP

I don't know whether to laugh or become utterly confused, as well! 
But I agree, how can you, "Please vote every time you get a 'contest cup'..." when you can only vote once? Maybe I should restate my first post saying, "No, I have never won a cup of coffee or a donut in my life."

Ahhh...
I thought it was specific for some game-show I'd never heard of.
In that case, I won a parking spot at my school in some random drawing, but I don't drive, so I sold the thing for twenty bucks.
Seemed like a good deal to me.

That's how I read it.

I voted something big and that something big is total confusion about the point of this contest....
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

It's a Canadian thing. One of their coffee chains does this every year.
Everyone elsewhere has already won; congratulations, you're not Canadian!
(I kid, I kid the Canucks)

All I've won was one coffee.
You always win a coffee the first day.
And then nothing for about a week, and then maybe a donut, and then another coffee.
I don't think anybody actually wins the cars.
Actually, I started a thread in the 'Tank last year about those two girls who found the cup in the trash, both rolled it up together, and won the car.
The girls wanted to sell the car and take both families to DisneyLand...but the parents ended up fighting it out in court.....and then the guy who claimed to have thrown the cup away tried to get in on the action, and actually wanted his DNA tested to compare with the dried up saliva on the cup.
-Man that story sounds like it should have come from the States eh?

I thought you were a ripe grape
a cabernet sauvignon
a bottle in the cellar
the kind you keep for a really long time

It does indeed. 
Have you even been back to the 'Tank since? 
Shoot! Sorry! I don't know how trhat happened! The voting once thing!
And, yah, although not entirely a Canadian thing (there are Tim Horton's in the US) it's one of those yearly things 'we' talk about...
hheehehe
now, how do I fix the voting glitch? I tried editing...
(dang, I'm such a boob...)
