The big give-aways thread!

[TotalyMoo]

I recently heard a story about a guy who entered every silly give-away and mindless competition he ever found. The ones in stores (fill this in and win a cruise for two etc.), the ones on the internet and everything he encountered.

At first I was skeptical and did not think he would ever had won anything, at least nothing special. Turns out he won a huge deal of the ones he entered. Apparently everyone has the mindset that "there's no chance I'll win so I won't bother entering" thus there's only a few people in the competition and therefor it's a high chance of winning (TIGER BLOOD).

Although this was amazing knowledge at the time and I found myself mindfucked for a couple of hours after it did not linger and was soon forgotten. But then I encountered a couple of easy give aways on the interwebz and thought - hey, why not enter. So far I have won nothing but friends of mine (whom I have shared with) has.

To the point!

I thought I'd make a general collection thread for these kinds of give aways and easy competitions. Be aware that I am not talking about the "I send you my special ID link and when I have X clicks I get some free item" but the ones where you have to like something on facebook, youtube or at a site like sweclockers or toms hardware.

Feel free to post any give-aways you know about and especially if you've won anything in one of them. What sparked this thread from me was a give-away for goods worth 250 euros with only abouts 100 people in it.

Do NOT post any links that give you personal profit, I am not an admin so I can't threat with banhammer. But I am sure that goes against forum rules and eventually karma will come back to you

If you have won something in a competition like this, feel free to post what and when (and from where).

Metal Sucks runs these every week; send in what you think the unreadable band name is and if you get it right you are entered for a chance to win a metal-related prize.

I'll be honest, when I read the thread title my first thought was "Bruce Willis is really dead".

I've heard of people who religiously enter every competition they encounter, and tend to win a lot mostly through perseverance. I remember seeing a documentary a while back about a family who owed their entire home, down to the building and furnishings, on giveaways - to the point that they refused to buy anything that wouldn't also lead to a comp entry. Seems an odd way to live, but it worked for them.

I've entered a few, did win a beta key from the WoW Cata beta competition they ran here awhile back. Entered on a whim and got lucky :O.

Problem is I hang around on the internets too much, and a lot of the ones I come across I'm not eligible for, because I'm not in the US.

I won $180 worth of stuff from d3db for a contest, pretty dope.
