OMG that must have been the coolest freaking prize ever. If I was 12 and won an arcade machine without even realizing you won a big contest I would have been blown away. How was it? Was it a used one since they were giving it away... Did you play it a lot?
Man I need to make a cocktail

Hmmm, probably the best thing I ever won was off a Radio contest when I was about 16. When they played these 'touch tones' on what was then Q107 you had to be the 7th caller. This was when Bush was running against like Dukakis so in addition to the normal prize of $107 cash I won the election day survival kit which was a case (24-48) sodas and a couple of pizzas from Jerrys. Needless to say I was pretty excited.
Then in college I went to a comedy club and won a pair of tickets to Adams Family 2 the nite before it opened...that was pretty cool.

Well, the coolest thing I won was when Taco Bell and Microsoft had the XBOX contest.

I was pretty pumped, I can tell you. Didn't sleep at all that night, waiting for it to be delivered the next day. Sure, it was used, but who cares? And yes, or course I played it a lot. My friends and I all got where we could get to like the 8th Mario's Hideout or something like that, and eventually got tired of it. Then it sat in my room for years. I finally sold it after the monitor lost it's red and blue signal, back then I didn't know anything about fixing arcade machines. Now I wish I had one again...
