Any winners?

So I was just wondering how many brides out there have actually won anything for their wedding? I always see the contests being advertised online and at bridal expos and I was wondering if anyone here has won any of them? Anything from a dream honeymoon to a discount on flowers, we wanna hear it!

Ok so I forgot to actually answer my own post! (I was too excited that I had an idea for my first post!)
My fiance and I went to a bridal expo in Anaheim Jan 3 and won a portrait session with one of the photography exhibitors!! yay! We are gonna go this Saturday to do the pics and since we haven't booked a photographer or videographer yet, we are going to look at his prices for the wedding packages too!

I can't wait to see what everyone posts:)

I won a scam.

I didn't win anything.  A coworker of mine won her flowers at a bridal show.

I won a scam.

I had to sit and listen to a 3 hour presentation (The scam people promised us it wouldn't be more than an hour) about pots in exchange for a "subject to change at any given moment" vacation ... that we couldn't even go on after it was all over.

And they gave us $1,000 worth of coupons. That weren't actually valid.

I "won" that scam too! We didn't actually go but they called and told me that we won that 2 night vacation and they said it was a $1,000 grocery gift card.
The woman on the phone was such a B**** that my fiance told me to hang up. Then I looked it up online and someone warned me. That sucks that you had to sit through that crap. I was totally fooled until my fiance made me look up the "grocery gift card" company. Sorry to hear that

It's funny, because I actually "won" that scam multiple times. The first time, we actually went knowing it was going to be a sales pitch, but hoped the small vacation was at least legit (At the time, we didn't know if we were going to be able to have a honeymoon, so we thought a small trip was better than nothing).

But since the first time, I've been called like  3 more times by the same people saying "At a recent bridal show you registered for, you were automatically entered and won ...". I hadn't actually registered for a bridal show since the one from the first incident. Needless to say, I haven't been receptive to the phone calls, lol.

Oh yeah probably a scam! I looked it up online and I think they get your info from david's bridal. I dont know, but very sketchy!!!

I know the sales gimicks I work with salesmen and I've heard almost everything. The "prizes" are a way of hooking you and then you don't actually end up with anything. Hang up if they call!!!!</div>

Oh and I also keep getting the same email that says I could win $4800 photography package. We aren't eligible though because our wedding is out of the area.  I can't make it stop I've taken us off the mailing list multiple times! It's annoying.
