I am obsessed with entering competitions, and I've won quite a few by now (I got free tickets to the same music festival seven years in a row due to my dedication). I love hearing stories of what others win and how they use their winnings.

I won on a radio call-in show called "name that tune," three times. They took two callers. First one gets one second of music and time to answer. If they fail, the second gets ten seconds of music and time to answer.

I was in the one-second position all three times. I was sort of amazed that I kept winning. The prize was a CD in each game. That's how I got into Stabbing Westward, as I wouldn't have bought Whither, Blister, Burn and Peel myself, but it was a prize.
