    How do you win contests with randomly chosen winners? I've never won anything, and if I don't win anything soon I won't be having Christmas at all.

    I mean, for that last contest on CAG, I did everything I could to have entries but I still didn't win. :'(

    But that's just it. I can't even win a randomly chosen contest where I'm one of three contestants.

    It was like this: 1 grand prize, 2 first prize. I and 2 others were the ONLY contestants. I didn't win any prizes.

    That's just bad luck. I have never won ANYTHING, no lotto, no raffle, no scratch card, no contest and NO school contests.

    ive won competitions by default (not enough entries so everyone got a prize). It's not particularly nice.

    Last year on here Loony there were 10,000 points prizes dished out-and I didnt win anything.Even though I have 25k points I'll not use on here-its good to be a winner!

    o.o That's so useless when you only download from links in the share section.

    Yeah, but even then, I didn't really download from the DS ROM section because 90% of the time I needed AP patches. (At the time, I had YSmenu.)

    LOL PSX games. I don't even bother with those because there are so few I like.

    All the stuff was available last xmas,and the points usage went shooting up when it was 1 point per mb downloaded for like PSX.So it was good of the Admin to dish them out,considering a lot of people cant get enough points.In my case,I didnt/dont download much anyway,thats how Ive got so much points.

    I hope Loony fixes it this year so I win something LOL

    the only fixing I'll be doing is so I win. And I already do that. Or would, if there were any games I was interested in.

    I've only one one thing, and that was because...

    -It was based on video game knoledge
    -The guy next to me said the answer
    -Me throwing my ds in the air like a kid and not having a high pitched nerdy voice made me stand out

    I dont count the money I won on scratches, sure $50 on one of them is nice but meh...

    I've never won from the ones where they choose at random, I've only won when I reached deep down and STOLE someone else's chances :p


    I like the way you think ;)

    level up you major skills. I chose athletics as a major skill so it should be easy to level up if you just keep jumping around. if you do not have athletics as your major skill, you can use a few console commands to change it. I recommend adding illusion in there too. repeatedly cast starlight and keep jumping around and then spend all your points on luck. you'll win in no time!
    this is a joke don't take it seriously

    You fail at joking around in a topic.

    ... how the fuck is athletics or illusion magic going to have any effect? the relevant stat is luck. End of discussion.

    hehe sorry. I wasn't really focusing on intelligence when I levelled up. anyway levelling up can be hard and console commands can be dangerous. what you could do is buy some potions that fortify luck or make your own. I bought mine at the gilded carafe in the imperial city. note they only last for a short while so use them all when the contest starts.

    The funniest thing I won was when I went to a charity fundraiser,when I was aged 7, in a mental hospital.It was a stall that was selling raffle tickets for 5p each(in 1974) and the ticket had to end in 5 or 0.I opened one up which had this,and I was eyeing up a Mars bar or other sweeties,and they gave me a bottle of Bacardi.
