I’ve always been so curious as to who actually wins HGTV’s Dream Home Giveaway, and it got me thinking of other cone tests. I would love to know your experiences please!

Not me but a friend went on a local lottery show. Won something like 20 thousand. His family owns a small corner market. He bought an ATM machine. He set the fee. Makes an insane amount of money from that.

It's just ATM, no machine. It stands for Automatic Transaction Machine, so you don't need the extra machine at the end, otherwise you're saying automatic transaction machine machine..

Won a bike at a radio contest. It has traveled with me across multiple countries and I am still using it 12 years later.

I was in 5th grade in the 1970s, and I listened to the same radio station constantly(KFRC). In the afternoon/evening, they would have one of those “fifth caller wins if you answer the question correctly” contests. I was ready and called in, redialing every time I got a busy signal. I got through and was the correct caller, and got the question “who is the morning dj from 8-10AM?” My answer (Dr. Don Rose) was correct and I won $100. That was a lot for a little kid but it was just in time for a local comic convention, so I had plenty of money for comics.
