I won two things when I was six, one of which changed our family''s lifestyle up until this day.
The first was an Easter Egg Colouring contest in which I got first place. I got a rather large bunny plushie which is still in the top shelf of my closet. Ironically I would be even more ecstatic to play with it now rather than if I was 6. In fact, it's right here, and untouched for the last 12 years :s
The other was a contest the newspaper ran weekly. I clearly remember that I won one week where the activity was to match 2 out of 6 pictures (Pictures of the sun in this case). The prize was a sweet free rental at Jumbo Video. Didn't want it to go to waste so we decided to go and use it. Now it's a Blockbuster, but if I hadn't won that, we wouldn't have been all that big on renting movies. We still go to that location even though there maybe closer and more convenient ones.
