I've won a common silver dollar and a silver eagle, my father won a $5 Liberty at one of the local shows last year.

I can't say that I have won, but I did give my wife a $20 bill when she went to her first coin show with me to buy "us" some tickets. She put her name on all of them and won 2 out 3 prizes, an ANACS graded 1957, all graded PF65 except 1 which was a 66, and an 1850 something half eagle

I've won a few silver dollars over the years at the Utah coin shows in Ogden and Salt Lake City. They sell raffle tickets at 1$ each or 11 for 10$. I usually go the 10$ route. Since they are club shows I don't mind "donating".

Promoter shows are a whole different story though!

I won a $50.00 gift certificate good at any dealer's table at the last show I went to, promptly went back and picked up a $45.00 Two Cent Piece I had looked at earlier, and got $5.00 cash in change. Had too show was closing, so I didn't have much time, I was the last name called.

Nice!

Nothing like free money to help make the decision when you are on the fence.

I think this may be stretching it but I did receive free coins so I will count it.

My aunt signed up for a new visa card and the rep asked her if she wanted to enter a draw to win two plane tickets to London, England to see the Olympic games (3 events, hotel room and 600 pounds to buy food and what not). Any ways she entered and one. She took me to England and using a portion of the 600 pounds I picked up a set of 2012 Olympic 50p to match my 2010 Olympic quarters.

I've won a 1980 SBA dollar set at our clubs annual raffle tied to our annual show 2 years ago.

Last year I sold some raffle tickets to our Honda sales rep and he won a modern commemorative half dollar in the Young Collectors educational packaging. I think he said he was going to give it to his grandson. One time he mentioned he and his brother had a lot of Morgan dollars that their father passed on to them. I asked him to bring them by some time but he always says his brother has them locked up somewhere. Our Fed Ex rep said he is a big Morgan dollar collector. I invited him to our show but he said it was opening day for some bird hunting season that day

This year I won a silver Eagle from the other club in towns show where our club was holding our annual Boy Scout merit badge clinic.

Just last night my father won twicefrom tickets I sold my parents. He won a 2006 Mint set and with another winning ticket a Perrys Victory set from the Mint that had a P, D, and clad S proof.

At 2 of the last 4 club banquets I have won a silver Eagle at one of the 2 games we play (all while enjoying the free steak dinner for working at the show)
