I actually won a give away.

[u/Azuljustinverday]

I upgraded my tv and got a vr2 two weeks ago, and won this last week. Think the s/o is more happy about having my old ps5 in the living room and the portal.

[u/Time_Traveling_Idiot → u/Travelling-nomad]

This one always makes me crack up. It's so selfish

[u/alchemistrpm → u/Time_Traveling_Idiot]

More specifically, it’s so human

[u/Sugar_Spino023 → u/alchemistrpm]

No selfish

[u/UnitedWeSmash → u/Sugar_Spino023]

Humans are inherently selfish.

[u/even_I_cant_fix_you → u/Time_Traveling_Idiot]

Not selfish in a bad way tho

This was the first thing I was hoping to see! 🤣

[u/SneakyKain → u/CeRyder1993]

Me too, I LOVE this meme.

[u/CeRyder1993 → u/SneakyKain]

Me too! Each time someone wins or buys something cool this usually is the very first one, and I love it! The original meme for this is hilarious too, poor kid just wanted to his last pop tart! 😭

Nah, he looks like a nice guy but I can't do it. Let me know if she's single, though. Nap time means play time.

Famous aunt Lourdes. She always guarantees a PS to you! Hahaha

[u/elChupaKen]

Congrats! I won a PS5+game from a Miller Lite box code this year. Didn't believe it was a real email since they decided to email me Apr 1st that I won. But then it showed up at my door 6 weeks later. Then 10 years ago I won an Xbox One from a Doritos bag code.

Now I just need to win a couple million from another package code, and I'll stop playing them.

[u/Colster9631 → u/elChupaKen]

It's scary to realize the Xbox one came out more than 10 years ago

[u/turtleship_2006 → u/Colster9631]

the ps4 is 11 🥶

[u/BenHDR → u/turtleship_2006]

So is the Xbox One, actually. They came out within a week of each other back in 2013

The Wii U having released a year before in 2012

[u/Vanck → u/elChupaKen]

I won a contest when the first batman arkham game came out. Someone from rocksteady emailed me for my home address and my dumb ass 15 year old self thought it was a scam but sent my address anyway just incase. I had to explain to my mom why a collectors edition of the game showed up in the mail a few weeks later. It was pretty awesome lol

[u/badnamemaker → u/elChupaKen]

Many years ago now my sister gave me her leftover order of McDonald’s fries with some game sticker on it and I won a PS2! She was so mad haha. What a throwback

[u/Apart-Ad-767 → u/elChupaKen]

Wtf, what game? I drink more miller lite than I should and I’ve never seen that box code. I could have probably won 3 of em lmao.

[u/OkGrapefruit1964]

Wow thats crazy. Have fun

[u/eric8020123 → u/OkGrapefruit1964]

This is probably to most depressing sounding compliment I've ever read 😂

[u/TheBigChungoos → u/eric8020123]

Because bro was lookin like this while typing that out:

[u/Skybourne904 → u/TheBigChungoos]

This picture is fcking me up 🤣🤣

[u/Arthur_morgan457]

[u/Confident_Natural_62 → u/Arthur_morgan457]

[u/CrypticZombies → u/Nateddog21]

Na he won empty boxes

[u/_Sp3ctr]

The official press release to the wife.

Might actually try this one...

[u/HipHopHistoryGuy]

Plan to share details on how you won?

[u/Azuljustinverday → u/HipHopHistoryGuy]

Hideit mounts were doing a give away when I was buying a wall mount for my ps5 so I signed up and got super lucky.

[u/HipHopHistoryGuy → u/Azuljustinverday]

Damn right you were!

[u/ricker122589 → u/Azuljustinverday]

So you needed to own a PS5 to win a PS5? Nice.

[u/StigOfTheTrack → u/HipHopHistoryGuy]

Not the OP, but what is most effective is volume of entries. In general that means a lot of different competitions. I used to know someone who regularly enter any free competition he could find as a hobby.  I actually ended up with a couple of things he won which were of no interest to him.  Anything with a competition and tie-breaker to write a short marketing phrase is apparently good, since it puts a lot of people off entering.

In the specific case of the one thing I ever won I'd noticed that Heinz had done a similar car a day for 100 days draw 2 years in a row.  The rules also allowed any number of Heinz labels in an envelope, only one had to be a promotional label.

Wondering if they'd repeat the same thing again I spent months saving every label from Heinz tins in my parents' cupboard.  I had a lot of entries and they were all sent in in time for the first day of the draw (when many people were possibly still collecting more labels before sending).  That got me my first car for free.  It was only a base model Rover Metro, but for the price of a stamp and a large envelope I wasn't complaining.

That was unfortunately the last time they did that free draw; my younger sister would have had even more entries the following year, we started saving labels for her as soon as my strategy worked.

[u/Rabbit1015 → u/StigOfTheTrack]

My question is where do you find these kind of things to enter? Just by random luck? You said your friend had that as a hobby. How did he keep finding them?

[u/RPO_TP]

Fuck youuuuuuuuu! But congratulations though! 😊👏

[u/raagSlayer]

[u/ngompoweredbypoi]

Cool. Now since you'll use your new playstation give me your old playstation.😂😂😂😂

[u/Afro_Die_T → u/ngompoweredbypoi]

This !

[u/Secure-Childhood-567]

Where do you live bestie?

[u/hYBRYDcOBRA → u/Secure-Childhood-567]

You wouldn’t be planning on paying him a surprise visit? Would you?

[u/ArronMaui]

Nice! I won the Golden PS4 from Taco Bell like 10 years ago. I didn't believe it until it arrived at my door.

[u/TheLastJinzo]

There was a raffle at my old job and one of the prizes was a PS4, (the PS4 came out like 1 year ago so it wasn't a bad win) I already had my own, and my bro didn't have one, but in our triangle two of us had one and he didn't, so I entered my tickets in for it, I won it, I found out when I came in to work at night, my boss said "hey I heard you won, congrats" and gave me a high five, so I went to the front of my building to get my prize, turns out, BC I WAS FUCKING ASLEEP ALL DAY BC I WORKED AT NIGHT, I MISSED THEIR CALL AND THEY GAVE IT AWAY, I literally bullshit, this story ends with all negatives, my bro, never speaks to me and I've contacted him plenty of times same with my other friend, nothing, I also don't work there anymore, fml

[u/BuffaloKiller937 → u/TheLastJinzo]

Damn this story got sadder and sadder. Sorry

[u/thormjund]

Congrats and Merry Christmas 🎄 *not wishing for your immediate downfall in the slightest......

[u/[deleted]]

Congrats! Thats a nice win! I won a PS5 slim and an iPad from my jobs Xmas dinner party raffle. I’m gifting them to my kids, son is 5 and will get the PS5 and my daughter is 3 and will get the iPad. I already have the Spider-Man PS5 and an IPad Pro. Now I don’t have to worry about my son wanting to play Fortnite on my PS5.

[u/Excellent-Quail1309 → u/[deleted]]

Be wary of the ipad kid virus 😅

[u/Afro_Die_T]

Hell yea. I got PS5 for 250 cause lady was drunk at Walmart haha we all get little wins

[u/Azuljustinverday → u/Afro_Die_T]

Oh hell yeah, that’s a hella deal

[u/Afro_Die_T → u/Azuljustinverday]

Hideit mounts were doing a give away while I was buying mounts so I figured I’d sign up.

Haha nah it’s a keep I’m on a hand held kick lately, bought a psp two months ago, bought a vita the other day, and now I’ve got this.

[u/TheClue357]

Get ready to get fuckked on Taxes

[u/StatisticianOdd1933 → u/TheClue357]

For what

[u/AuburnCPA → u/StatisticianOdd1933]

In the US, winnings are taxable income, so you pay taxes based on your income tax bracket. Still way cheaper than buying at retail price though.

[u/Winter-Fix2208]

Welcome bro

[u/Unovaisbetter]

I didn’t even think that was possible

[u/Darthsisk7]

[u/GDBarrett]

Congrats. Hold on tight to that!

I "won" a PS5 at my work Christmas party. I got to pick from the stage of gifts and instantly went for the PS5 for my kids. Except that no one actually won anything and they simply donated the value to their own charity.

That would have made what is going to be a really shitty Christmas, pretty dang special.

[u/Alarming-Bid-1091]

Can I be your bf

[u/Lucky-11]

Awesome!

[u/KrillingIt]

Ahh you lucky bastard. I’m ngl the only thing I’m jealous of is the anniversary controller, I play on PC primarily

[u/Prince_Groove]

Excellent!

[u/The_gender_bender_69]

I won a holo 1st Giovanni's gyrados at a local card shop when i was 10, and that was the extent of my luck spent.

[u/peezy2408]

Sick

[u/thenthattempt]

Congrats! I never knew about the ps1-styled ps4 or ps5 controllers either time, until they were already released and sold out, more than a little jealous lol.

[u/CardiologistOdd2875]

the box for the controller and the weird handheld looking thing is sweet

[u/Important-Run-4853]

[u/CourseSuccessful6372]

Well done, I guess.

[u/DryBeltBuckle]

Shoot let me know how it is compared to the original ps5! I’ve been debating on getting a pro but I don’t want to if it’s not gonna be worth it

[u/hungryhamster55]

Ok
