Throughout my life, I would have loved to have won something. But for some reason, I've never won anything that relied on chance. Considering that my father hasn't won anything either, I believe it may run in the family. We've always convinced ourselves that we don't need luck because of our brilliant minds, endearing personalities, and charming beauty. But really, who are we kidding? Winning something is always nice, even if it's a mere bag of soil. I'm aware, there are certain things I cannot control, but that doesn't mean I can't fantasize and live vicariously through the experiences of the people I know. 

So, while we're on that topic, I invite you all to join me while I vicariously live through dozens of Redditors who have been blessed with good fortune. Check out the amusing thread below and don't forget to share your experiences with us too! And once you've finished scrolling, and want to get into the spirit of the holiday season, check out hilarious Christmas memes here!

    via u/kiwi_rozzers
  • 23
    operating on razor-thin margins, so I signed up more to do him a solid than to get the benefits. I figured in a couple of years he would conveniently forget about the "founder's club" thing and I would go back to paying my usual fees.
    via u/kiwi_rozzers
  • 24
    Never happened. After a couple of years the thing did end up paying for itself. A few years later, the owner passed away (he was a young guy; lost his battle with cancer). The whole operation shut down.
    via u/kiwi_rozzers
  • 25
    I was way more gutted to lose the guy than the deal. I'd happily pay the yearly hosting fee to have him back again. I guess in the end it was truthful advertising -- he never specified whose lifetime.
    via u/kiwi_rozzers
  • 26
    The weirdest part is that I know he had a couple hundred clients he was hosting, and although he opened up the "founder's club" for the first 10 respondents, he never filled it up. I think it capped out at about 7. I don't know if his other clients thought it was too good to be true or what.

    teenwoof69. 8 mo. ago My mom almost ate the white m&m that they promoted like 25 years ago - if you find it, send it in, you get a lifetime supply of m&ms.

    They sent us a voucher pack, that almost no store would take, but still managed to make it though the lifetime supply in about 1 month (granted there was 8 siblings). Prob for the best tho.
