I once won a 3-day trip to an outdoor adventure park and I could take 3 friends with me.. I think that was worth about $900
also I won a couple of art prints from different contests on instagram :P

I love it, but one day my grandmother got mad at my grandfather and for some reason she threw out my whole set. (It was on a shelf in the living room) When I came home from school I cried a lot, this is one of my saddest childhood memories. I love granny A LOT, but this makes me sad even today.

LEGO Bionicle from a kids' magazine,
McDonald "birthday" for a bunch of kids who participated in a local T-Mobile drawing contest. The first and last time I was full at a fast-food chain store. With cake and stuff. Haven't been to any in like 5 years, though, maybe they invented some super-burger in the meantime!

Years ago, I won two tickets for a Bruce Springsteen's concert. Not my favourite singer, so I gave them away to some random people. They enjoyed the concert really much I've been told.

I used to attend a lot of anime and sci-fi, fantasy etc conventions and participate in a lot of Trivias in the past, so won a lot of geeky stuff this way (books, mangas, DVDs, board games, plushies, figurines etc) - but I consider it different kind of "win" - it were not raffles or lotteries but rewards for being 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a contest ;)
As for actual RNG stuff - once I won a big raffle by polish sci-fi/fantasy publishing house, the reward was all books published this year, so in total I got 2X books from them worth 250-300$ in total, it was nice ;) On some FB fanpages I won few other books and at one gaming fair I won SteelSeries Prize Box containing Siberia v2 headset, big Diablo 3 QCK MousePad, TShirt, baseball cap and bunch of small bonus stuff - stickers, keychain, magnet etc.

I won an iPad once, a bit after release when it was a huge deal, in a competition to create a website slogan.
Needless to say I dropped it on the ground 2 days later and it left marks on the case and it ruined the experience for me.

A few of years ago I was the 999,999,999 visitor of a site and was lucky enough to win an iPhone 3. Still awaiting to receive it.

You mean there is life outside of Steam and gaming?I have not won anything in real life unless a lotto ticket counts but i am not sure that really counts as winning since you have to pay to win and i have never won more then i actually invested still can be fun to buy a scratcher once in awhile.
Though i suppose you could say i win at life lol

I won a copy of Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls half an hour before release during a contest held on TeamSpeak by a fansite, where they made questions and first to answer correctly would get a copy of the game. And a 50$ Steam giftcard during last year's Summer sale. And a copy of Van Helsing 1 complete pack during a stream on Twitch. And games here :P

A $50 gift card for Amazon... which I bought games for.
A 500 SEK gift card for a local online book store
200 sek worth of stuff from a local board game store, due to getting second place in a tournament
A bag of warhammer stuff for getting first place in another tournament
A few sek for different lottery tickets that I've got over the years (never anything big, I think my largest win was 100 sek) (that's about 10€)
5 bottles of beer (great, I don't even like beer :( My friends were happy though).
Candy, on several occasions
A wrestling doll (when I was ~8, which my sister stole)
A few books
A medal and a t-shirt for running around Djurgården in Stockholm (something that everyone who finished got, I finished right in the middle)
And those are the things I can remember. I might have won a few other odds & ends over the years, but nothing big.

I don't quite remember, there was a lot, but now I only remember few: ticket for concert at philharmonic, books abour neurobiology, lingerie set, some anime, some money from lottery ticket, and I got a lot of stuff from contests at school (various subjects), I don't remember much of them sadly, most notable was getting ~800 EUR at the end of high school.

Today i won a $100 giftcard to spend in a store that has alot of clothing (brand stuff) but they also have some computer stuff, think i will go for either a new mouse / keyboard or 2tb harddrive.
In the past i won a 700 euro bike, Mario Go kart race set, 400 euro worth on lottery tickets & David Hasselhoff shirts and trophy (he made a commercial for it and there was this contest about Hassle the Hoff) , a Philips Alarmclock that lets you wake up with bird sounds and gently increases the light, and probably some other stuff i forgot.
[Edit] Oh yeah a Furby too and concert tickets for Alan Parsons Project and 4-5 items i can't remember on 1 night at a bingo.
