Contests

I love to enter contests in the mail and have even won a couple but I never did the lottery because my husband was a lottery commissioner and you cannot enter if you are one of his family which applied to our children, their spouses and grandchildren and I suppose our parents who were not interested anyway. The one contest I won as a child was a pair of roller skates which were very odd as they would not go forwards very well and went sideways when I tried to skate. The next time I won was a basket of groceries from a Milgram's store, My husband and I use to like to buy our groceries once a month and would go over to Missouri and buy them on sale and we won, Later we joined Guaranteed Foods and only shopped every four months. We did buy bread at the surplus store and I think they were still delivering milk those days. I still do not understand why the skates were uncooperative.
