Winning a lifetime supply of something is a rather bizarre stroke of luck to stumble upon; be it soap, pizza, or anything else, for that matter, knowing that you’re set on it for the rest of your days can be a weird idea to get used to.

But, do such winnings really last someone until the end of their lifetimes? That’s one of the things a member of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community wanted to learn from those who’ve won a lifetime supply of something. They asked fellow netizens what that something was and how long it actually lasted, and received quite varying responses. Scroll down to find them on the list below, and see for yourself how such winnings end up working in real life.

Bored Panda has reached out to the OP and they were kind enough to answer a few of our questions; you will find their thoughts below.

30 People Who Won A 'Lifetime Supply' Of Something Share How Things Worked Out For Them Frequently went to this joint called Fat Daddy Burritos, which was the greatest burritory to ever exist. BIG fat burritos for only like 4.50, and no up charge for sour cream, only 25c up charge for guac.

One day a commotion was occurring and I looked up to see one of the employees appeared to be choking. I hopped over the counter and Heimlich Maneuvered the ham right out of the kid and all was well. Didn't really think much of it, I don't even think I told my parents about.

Well it turns out it was the owner's son, and the next time I came in the owner excitedly came over and showered with with thanks before presenting me with a card that read "The Fattest Daddy", which was signed by him and said I never had to pay for a burrito again.

Never had an employee doubt the authenticity of the card for 17 years. I paid for my burrito every once in a while, but would occasionally get caught by the owner who would wack me with a rolled up news paper and tell me to stop trying to pay for burritos.

Sadly, Fat Daddy Burritos did not survive the lock down mandate, and the place is now a domino's.

    30 People Who Won A 'Lifetime Supply' Of Something Share How Things Worked Out For Them Not me but my roommate won a lifetime supply of dilly bars from a Dairy Queen. Got a box a week and eventually got to know the owners well. After my roommates family got into a hard time, they stopped giving them dilly bars and started giving them food even after the establishment had changed hands. Very wholesome

    That was very nice of them to help your roommate. The fact that the new management kept this up, shows that there are some very decent people all around us.

    30 People Who Won A 'Lifetime Supply' Of Something Share How Things Worked Out For Them I won a lifetime supply of Charmin toilet paper. It began with a phone call to Proctor and Gamble years ago. I was working in California and ran across Charmin infused with baby oil. Best stuff ever! I still dream about it. When I returned to my home in Texas I couldn't find it in my local stores, so I got the number to P&G off one of the available packages in my HEB. This was pre-internet. The customer explained that the baby oil paper was offered in limited locations as a test market situation, and would not be available in the future. She said that she would send me a few coupons for my interest in their product, so I gave her my address. They arrived a couple of weeks later. About a month later, I received a big box from P&G that had 3 packages of 4 rolls each, simple marked A,B,and C. A letter that accompanied the big box that stated that since I apparently was passionate about toilet paper, I might be interested in being a consumer toilet paper tester...Stay with me here. The letter said that I should only use the package marked A for a week, another week for package B, and the third week for C. Afterwards, I would receive a phone call from them to rate the different types. I did as I was instructed, and about a month later here comes the phone call. Strangest. phone .call. ever. Questions like "name three adjectives for how the different toilet papers made you feel". "Have you ever suffered from hemorrhoids? Just wild questions over about a 15 min. [call. At](https://call.At) the end of the call, she told me to expect some more coupons. Fine. A couple of weeks later, I received in the mail a manilla envelope from P&G that also contained a letter that thanked me for my participation in their study, and I would be the recipient of Charmin for life. It came with about 25 coupons for free products, and a number to call when I was close to running out. This was around 1985 when it all went down. I've been receiving coupons for free Charmin ever since.

    The OP told Bored Panda that there wasn't a specific reason, other than being curious, for posing the question to the Reddit community. They simply wanted to see what it actually means to win a lifetime supply of something, how it works, and how long it lasts, which, based on the redditors’ answers, seemingly differs with each individual case and depends on the prize itself as well as the conditions of the game.

    The redditor shared that if they were to win an endless supply of something, they would want it to be electronics or something provided by a mid-high quality brand, so they could sell the items for a profit. Yet, while such a plan might sound good in theory, in reality it might not be possible due to said conditions, according to some redditors, who’ve previously discussed the topic on the same subreddit.

    30 People Who Won A 'Lifetime Supply' Of Something Share How Things Worked Out For Them I won a lifetime supply of calendars from Calendaria about five years ago. Since then, each December, they send me the *worst* calendar ever. It has become something quite funny.

    The most recent was a calendar focused on brooms/mops. Why such a thing would even exist is beyond me, but hell if it isn't funny.

    I really want to share mine. Probably a blessing in my life. Its not a lifetime supply. My gf and I had an unexpected child. Im poor she is young but she is young(not that young). We are not getting any support from anybody because we upset our fsmily. We are really strugling like miss a meal struggling, because of how expensive having a kid is. Out of desperation i joined a raffle/contest on a local grocery store and I won they made me choose one product on the store and there is a time limit for me to think. Without thinking though i just shouted diaper. It was not the brightest moment of my life. But they gave me a 3 year worth of coupon of diaper supply. I can only remember i was crying ugly when they handed the coupon because it was just a relief that at least i wont have to worry one thing about my baby needs. When i told this to my wife she said she is happy i choose the diaper because the other winners was not satisfied with what they got. She said she computed mine compared to other winners and I got a decent prize. Its not much compare to other posts in here but i just can't forget that.

    While the OP haven’t had the luck to win an endless supply of something themselves just yet, they said they have familiarized themselves with plenty of stories of people who have, the most surprising of which involved a person creating a… color.

    “The most surprising was definitely the crayons response, where someone created a version of green and sent it to the ‘create a new color’ contest,” the redditor recalled. The person’s shade of green won them an endless supply of, you guessed it, crayons.

    When it comes to unexpected endless-supply stories, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a contest to result in such a prize; an internet meme can, too. At least that’s what happened to Daniel Lara, better known as the “Damn, Daniel” guy, known to be “back at it again with the white vans,” which is exactly what he got a lifetime supply of after going viral.

    30 People Who Won A 'Lifetime Supply' Of Something Share How Things Worked Out For Them My Uncle Ray properly guessed the number of ping pong balls in a fish bowl at a 7-11 back before Y2K winning a lifetime supply of free coffee. They gave him a card that he swipes each time for the free coffees he gets every day ever since. It’s now a card he can also tap. Sometimes, if the store is busy the cashier just waves at him to go.

    30 People Who Won A 'Lifetime Supply' Of Something Share How Things Worked Out For Them When I was 10ish there was a quizform in the local grocery store where you could win 1 year worth of macaroni, spaghetti and pasta in different shapes. I filled it out, put it in the box and forgot about the thing. 1-2 months later dad said I have gotten a notice about a package at the postoffice. My dad came home with this HUGE a*s package which filled the whole trunk and that was just 1 out of 3 boxes. He made 2 more trips. We had spaghetti for years. I am guessing it must have been between 100 and 200 packs of spaghetti and pasta.

    Chik Fil A used to give the first 100 customers at a new location a 'years worth of meals'. It was a card preloaded with 52 coupons for a free #1 meal.

    I did it twice. Brought a tent and camped out in the parking lot. Once I cashed in all the free meals and brought in lunch for everyone who volunteers at the Niles Township Food Pantry. The second time, I did the same thing but brought in lunch for every teacher the school I taught at.

    Back in 2005ish when XM Radio and Sirius were competing for subscribers I signed up for a lifetime subscription to Sirius for $200.

    I was told later that it was supposed to be only transferable 3 times and the company estimated a transfer every 3 years to upgrade the radio/car. I never upgraded my radio until purchasing a new car in 2018. I'm now in year 19 of my subscription that only cost me $200

    30 People Who Won A 'Lifetime Supply' Of Something Share How Things Worked Out For Them Won lifetime pizza from a local pizza place. I get one free small, 1 topping pizza each week as long as they're in business. Edit to answer common questions. I don't know if I can add extra toppings for an additional cost. Though I never tried to, they'd probably allow it. It wouldn't be my weirdest request. It's been going on 3 years since I won, and I have never missed getting my pizza. They don't hate to see me, as I do buy other things when I'm in since I have to pick up the free pizza. (They have killer beer battered breadsticks). I do not know if it carries over if I miss a week.

    Not me, but a roommate in college won I think ~20 cases or so of sugar free red bull by going to a college basketball game. The odd thing about it was how he won - the red bull promotion team went through the parking lot at the game looking for unlocked cars. They found his, and then loaded his car completely with cases of red bull - so much he couldn't fit inside his car, and then covered his car completely with sticky-notes that said "You've won!" all over.

    I lived with him for about 3 years and I don't think he ever ran out. I do recall it taking up space in the corner of his room for quite some time.

    My college had a Capriotti's sandwich shop open nearby, and the owner decided to run an ad in the university newspaper that had a free sandwich coupon that was good for a year.

    My friend and I, being poor college students, seized the opportunity. Our pantry was now full of 400+ university newspapers, and we spent every other day going to that sandwich shop. They just never refused us redeeming a coupon.

    Good times.

    I won a free McDonalds Big Mac meal for a year. It was one meal a week for a year. It was free to the first 50 people to get a drive thru breakfast at a newly remodeled location starting at 6am. I got there around 4:30 and I was about 15th in line. The line of cars started ahead of the drive thru lane so cars could still go through it. The staff maintained the line and handed out official line tickets for people waiting. The line snaked across the home depot parking lot until there were more than 50 cars but only 50 line tickets were handed out. As soon as the staff started waving cars into the drive through, a woman drove in from a nearby parking lot and got in first. She ordered her food and then wanted the coupon and they told her that it didn't count because she didn't have the official line ticket. As I was going in to order, she was standing at her car demanding to see the manager and then wanting a refund on the breakfast.

    I got all 52 meals. Sometimes they didn't stamp the card so I would get as many as 3 in one week. And covid happened and shut down the place except for the drive thru so for half the year I had to go through the drive thru.

    30 People Who Won A 'Lifetime Supply' Of Something Share How Things Worked Out For Them I won free pizza and beer for a year when I was in college. Pizza was 1 large pizza per month from a chain. Beer was 12 cases of beer that we had to set up a pickup from a distributor and get all at once. We had a party so the beer definitely didn’t last a year.

    30 People Who Won A 'Lifetime Supply' Of Something Share How Things Worked Out For Them When I was in college I won a lifetime supply of soft pretzels. It was a giant stack of coupons that I could use at any grocery store that carried them and a hat. I still have some almost 20 years later.

    If the grocery store had pretzels, but no hat you were SOL.

    30 People Who Won A 'Lifetime Supply' Of Something Share How Things Worked Out For Them I won a year’s supply of White Castle. It was 500 burgers. I didn’t have a restaurant near me, so I sold the coupon on eBay.

    Edit: I sold it for about $300 I think. It was a promotional contest for The Great Debaters movie back in 2007. I submitted a video and won the competition. It was a bizarre variety of awards -- Allegiant Air tickets, college test prep books, a signed movie poster, and 500 White Castle burgers.

    Not totally sure about the picture chosen there. It may have once been a White Castle restaurant repurposed into a jewelry store. White Castle sells these little steamed hamburgers that are pretty popular. My parents absolutely love them but I never got a taste for them myself.

    I won free coffee for a year at a Dunkin Donuts grand opening in my city. I was one of the first 100 customers. I got a coupon booklet that has one free medium coffee or ice coffee a week. It’s not much but was cool to me bc I usually don’t win stuff like that!

    I won a free movie pass from Lowes Theaters that was good for one year. It came via a bonded messenger, and it was a little black credit card looking thing. It was unlimited, so I could go every day or multiple times a day. I could even bring a guest. Once in a while, they would say, "Oh, this is a new release/special engagement" and deny me, but most employees didn't give an F.

    My father won a lifetime supply of Burger King Whoppers through a raffle. He gets free Whopper cards mailed to him monthly. 30 per month which he can use at any of the local BK's. We've made use of them as they've came in handy. One free Whopper per customer so I give my wife and my kid one of the cards when we visit so they can get one with their order.

    Edit: wife and kid don't like Whoppers so I basically get 3 of them. This is actually a good advertisement because it does give us the incentive to go there and spend some money. And that's fine since the ONLY thing I like from BK is the Whopper.

    Not a "lifetime supply", but a couple of years ago I won a "year's supply" of petrol from Shell here in Australia. Living the dream for a year, right? Yeah, no. Straight off the bat, when I was first told that I had won the competition, I thought great, all of my financial problems are going to be over. I was driving a petrol Toyota LandCruiser at the time, and trust me, those things are bloody thirsty. I kid you not, I was spending upwards of about $250 A WEEK on petrol. Big 60L tank, I was getting, maybe 18-20L/100Kms around town, if I was lucky. A full tank really didn't last long. So trust me, when I was told I had won a year's worth of petrol, I genuinely thought all of my Christmases had come at once. I was going to save a s**tload of money, tour the country on Shell's dollar, It was going to be grand. And then the big day came, I went into their offices here in Melbourne to sign the paperwork and pick up my fuel card....And that's when the Ts&Cs were explained to me. Firstly, the "years supply of fuel" was based on what the average Australian would generally use in a year, which they averaged out to be about 35 litres a week. Apparently this statistic was based on information given to them by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, I never asked to see the evidence of that, though. As such, the fuel card could only be used once a week, for a period of a year, with a maximum of 35 litres of fuel a week. And the final kicker, it could only be used on non-premium fuels, so E10 and 91, which here in Australia, most people probably wouldn't even put in their lawn mowers, and which, and this is the truly funny bit, I couldn't even use, because at the time, my fairly highly modified LandCruiser was tuned to run a minimum of premium 95. In the end I ended up using the fuel card mostly on various friends family members cars, and throughout the year, never once, not even a single fill up, actually received any benefit from it myself.

    Not necessarily a "lifetime supply", but one time Subway left a knife in my sisters sandwich. When my dad took it up there to complain, they tried to say it wasn't theirs and that we put it there (except it literally had "Subway" engraved on the handle). The manager offered my dad 20 free footlongs as long as he didn't sue.

    A buddy of mine won a lifetime supply of country time lemonade. It was a pallet of the stuff, no idea how many cans total, but it was hundreds and hundreds…it lasted a few years with a bunch of drunken donkeys mixing it with all sorts of alcohol and or drinking it to help with inevitable hangovers that would result from using it as a mixer.

    At the end, nobody wanted it, and it became a sign of desperation to drink any.

    I won a year of free Wendy's breakfast. It was a coupon book with 52 coupons for a free breakfast combo.

    Each coupon has a specific date range you could use it during. The problem was that by the time they got the coupon book to me, 6 weeks had expired, which was fine, because they never looked at the dates anyway.

    My mom won a radio contest for a lifetime supply of AMC movie tickets.

    The actual number was something like 250 ticket vouchers. We ended up using a few over 50 of them, mostly to see Jurassic Park several times (3 kids, 1 or both parents, so not a million viewings, but definitely several) and that was it on our end.

    The rest of them were stolen by a babysitter (daughter of aunt's friend or some such) along with some minor jewelry if I recall. Never got any of it back. We didn't have much fun-money so that was a blow for us.

    I won a year supply of Doritos. It ended up being one lunch sized bag per day. So four times a year I received a box with about 90 bags of chips. I hated Doritos within the first month, and can never eat them ever again.

    EDIT to give more info.

    This was about 30 years ago. My local mall had a secret shopper contest with Doritos. I found the secret shopper, and I remember the person being super annoyed that a kid had won (I was probably a super annoying 12 year old). I went home with a giant box of Doritos that day (only regular/original flavor), and it barely fit in my parents car.

    At first I was a hero at my elementary school because I gave a bunch of bags to people I liked. I would trade them for Hostess cakes, but after about a month, the other kids got sick of them too. At one point my teacher told me that I wasn’t allowed to bring Doritos to school lunch anymore.

    By the end of the year I still don’t think I had even opened my 3rd shipment, and my mom was always telling me that I need to get rid of them, or throw them away. I’m pretty sure we threw most of the last box away.
