I won two tix to State of Origin (for Americans it's like the pro-bowl, except deadly serious), cheuffer driven (over 2 hours to the event) and since it was a beer comp, they threw in 10 cases of Tooheys New.

I also won third prize of 5 cases of New.

Not bad, but we lost the game.

Yeah, free beer tastes shit.

Jeez.

Tooheys Old is actually my top choice. New's not too bad, and they sponsored the team. Shits all over their extra dry rubbish anyway.

I've won a number of random small things that I can't remember like posters, cds, etc, but all those are nothing compared to the meet and greet with Metallica I won.
