40 People Who Won Lifetime Supplies Of Something Share How Things Are Working Out For Them I currently receive what seems to be a lifetime supply of toilet paper. Over 20 years ago, I became fond of a variety of Charmin that was infused with baby oil [because] it was so soft and smooth. When I moved for work, the local stores didn't have baby oil Charmin, and I was told that it didn't exist. I called Proctor and Gamble to find out what was up, and was told that the baby oil version was only offered as a test market and didn't turn out so well, so it was no longer sold in stores. I was crushed. The company did, however, take my name and address, and I was told that I would receive coupons in the mail for my inquiry, and interest in their product. About three weeks later, a box arrived from Proctor and Gamble that contained two separate four packs of toilet paper, one marked 'A' and the other 'B.' The letter that was enclosed stated that since I had such a penchant for toilet paper, I had been selected to test out their new varieties."
"I was instructed to use the package marked 'A' for a week, and then switch to the package marked 'B' the following week. After two weeks, I received a call from the company asking about the results of my test. They asked questions like, 'Could I name three adjectives describing my experience with both types of paper?' It was definitely a phone call to remember. At the end of the call, I was told that I would receive coupons and other considerations in the mail for my participation in this test. Ever since then, I have received a free four-pack of Charmin toilet paper once a month, every month. This has gone on for over 20 years, and it does not look like it will stop

We managed to get in touch with the creator of one of these Ask Reddit threads, Kelvin_Inman. The user revealed they do not remember how they came up with the question but guessed it was likely something that inspired them at the moment. They found the comments to be very interesting and were glad their thread received so much attention, since “you never know which post gets traction”.

Bored Panda was curious to hear their take on why so many of these lifetime supply contests didn’t turn out as expected. Kelvin_Inman said that one reason could be the strange products these competitions usually offer, “the ones that either expire or the winner could easily get sick of.”

I once went to a grand opening for QFC — Quality Food Center, a big grocery store — when I was 12. They were having a free raffle, so I entered. Did I win the plasma TV? No. Did I win the iPod classic? No. I won a year's supply of Tillamook cheese. It was a sheet of 12 coupons, each for two blocks of cheese. WTF was I going to do with cheese? I honestly didn't even like cheese at the time. After going home and moping for a while, I had an idea."
"After I discussed it with my parents, we went back to the QFC, and I met with the manager and proposed my idea. After being given a few more sheets, I sat in the entryway of the QFC with a cheese hat and sold them for face value. What did I do with the profit, you ask? I donated it to hurricane relief in New Orleans. I sat there for the whole day saying, 'Cheesy for the Big Easy?' to every customer who came in. This was shortly after Hurricane Katrina, and we ended up raising $500 that day.

They also mentioned that their favorite story from the thread was about donated cat food. User HazelKathleen typed out a reply about their dad who won a year’s supply of cat food but “it was delivered in one go and the cat didn’t like it (of course). The people at the shelter were super happy though, so it ended well!”

Kelvin_Inman told us that this comment was a perfect example of how poorly executed these contests can be, but luckily it had a great result due to the creative and caring winner. “If I were to win a contest like this, I’d want it to be for paper towels — I go through a ton of those,” they revealed.

40 People Who Won Lifetime Supplies Of Something Share How Things Are Working Out For Them Not a 'lifetime,' but my family once won a year's supply of Oreos. When we were kids, we were rarely allowed to eat junk food. But when my little brother was really sick and wouldn't eat, my mom was so desperate to get him to eat something, she told him that he could have any food in the world he wanted. He picked Oreos. The one box of Oreos we bought turned out to be the winning box of a year's supply of Oreos. How many, you ask, is a year's supply of Oreos?"
"I'm glad you asked, hypothetical reader. It was 365 boxes. For a family of four individuals who did not normally eat junk food, this was quite more than one year's worth of Oreos for us. We kept a couple of boxes, and then my parents took the rest to a food bank as they were delivered

If you believe that people often win competitions out of sheer coincidence, it’s also possible to make your own luck. There are plenty of people who win a variety of contests regularly by entering a lot of them at once, and they often see it as a fun and exciting hobby. They are called the “sweepers”, and Carolyn Wilman of Ontario, Canada, is one of them.

The sweepstakes specialist runs a blog called Contest Queen and is the author of You Can’t Win If You Don’t Enter and How To Win Cash, Cars, Trips and More, all dedicated to winning things for free. “‘Sweepers find, enter, and win sweepstakes as a hobby. It’s very simple and a lot of fun,” she told Bored Panda and added that people call them contests in Canada and competitions in the UK and Australia. “The hobby is the same globally, no matter what you call it.”

40 People Who Won Lifetime Supplies Of Something Share How Things Are Working Out For Them My buddy doesn't want to make an account, so I'm posting this for him.

When he was 16, he won a lifetime supply of M&Ms. He found one of the packs with all white M&Ms. The contest was to win $1,000,000. He gave it to his mom and had her send it in since he wasn't 18.

She didn't believe he had won a million dollars, so she procrastinated sending it in. After she eventually did, they got a letter stating that they had not gotten the wrapper sent in on time, so no million bucks, but they were gonna get a lifetime supply of M&Ms.

In the letter was a redemption card he could send in and get 52 coupons for 1 pack of free M&Ms each, plus a redemption card for the next year. He did this for 5 or 6 years until he lost the redemption card.

The first year he got all of the M&Ms and ate them himself. After that, as soon as he got them, he would usually trade all 52 coupons for a quarter bag of weed.

As you can imagine, he really wished he had gotten the million.

When asked about the most memorable prizes she has ever won, three things came to Wilman’s mind. “A trip for four to the Vancouver Winter Olympics, a trip to the set of the Harry Potter movies, and meeting Sting,” she revealed. But while entering contests may seem like a very time-consuming activity, she doesn’t spend as much time as people may believe — only around one or two hours per day.

It also doesn’t take long for her to find competitions to enter. “I can spot the word ‘win’ at 100 paces plus I use a sweepstakes aggregate.” Wilman mentioned she created her website as “a hub of all things contesting,” making it easy for anyone to get started. “I have a list of sweepstakes aggregates people can check out. All of them post legitimate sweepstakes for people to enter. They are all different formats and styles,” she said.

“I recommend people try different ones out and see what they like. When they are having fun, they win. If it feels like work, stop. This hobby is supposed to be fun!”

40 People Who Won Lifetime Supplies Of Something Share How Things Are Working Out For Them A friend of mine won a lifetime supply of Juicy Fruit gum when she was 12 years old. She told me that she was absolutely in love with Juicy Fruit at the time. Her mom entered her in this random contest as a joke. One day, without any notice, UPS showed up at her door with about 15 huge boxes. She was so confused...

So they open up the boxes and there it was... a couple thousand packs of gum. The company never sent her a letter or any piece of acknowledgement that she won, just a ton of gum.

Today (about 12 years later) the sight of Juicy Fruit makes her sick :(

A friend of mine used to run science fiction conventions. Once word gets out, movie studios send you free promo swag — normally, it's like 50 posters, 100 keychains, or 200 buttons. One day, a truck pulled up and gave him eight pallets of foam 'novelty flying discs' for the movie Blade. Each pallet had dozens of boxes, and each box had about 50 of these red, foam, ninja-star-like foam disks about the size of a salad plate and about an inch thick. They didn't fly; they were too thick and too light. It was like throwing a huge potato chip."
"People thought at first, 'Oh, cool! Ninja frisbees!' But then when they didn't fly and left ink on their hands, they didn't want them. So my friend was stuck with thousands of these things. Later, he ended up using it to supplement his attic insulation. I wonder years from now, when someone buys his house, if they will wonder what weird insulation company the previous owner used

40 People Who Won Lifetime Supplies Of Something Share How Things Are Working Out For Them New York has a trendy, expensive spot that does an annual food writing contest for their hot chocolate, which is kind of like a mug of warm pudding with fancy homemade marshmallows. Some upscale folks are really passionate about it come winter, and the place is established enough that they get lots of submissions. Even some well-known writers supposedly submit their entries. Anyhow, my sister lives near the place and insisted I enter and win the contest so she could have the prize, a week of free $6 hot chocolates. The theme that year was: 'Hot chocolate: with or without marshmallows, and why?' My contribution was a completely over the top, multi-generational epic designed to at least land third place in the long-form category. The story won, and they decided to create a new category for it they called 'best screenplay potential.' My sister was thrilled."
"About a year later, I was in the place for only the second time, since a friend wanted to try what was supposedly the best hot chocolate in the city. The manager says, 'Hey, you're that guy that wrote that story!' I was shocked since he'd only met me once, a year earlier. I asked how on earth he remembered me, and he said it was because my year of free hot chocolate was up. They gave my sister and me a YEAR of free hot chocolate instead of a week because they liked the story so much, but they never told us

However, even when the Contest Queen manages to win so many competitions, it’s still not enough to make a living out of it. You see, some prizes cost money. “I always say it’s a cheap trip, not a free trip. The last trip we went on that we won was to Universal Studios before the lockdowns.”

“The trip was four days and three nights with park passes and spending money, but we still had to cover getting to and from the airport (at our end), tips, souvenirs, etc. If you win concert tickets, you still pay for a babysitter, gas, parking, dinner out. You get the picture. This hobby enhances your life. It cannot fund it,” she explained.

But while nearly everyone dreams of winning a big prize, it’s important to watch out for con artists who try to lure people into giving out money or personal information with their fake promises. “That is why I recommend using a sweepstakes aggregate as they aggregate all the legitimate giveaways for you to enter, plus if you spot major advertising, it’s legitimate,” she said and stressed the importance of always reading the rules.

It might seem overwhelming to see how many different contests are out there, and that’s why Wilman writes books, newsletters, blogs, and creates countless videos to teach people and help them become “super sweepers” themselves.

My cousin tried to maintain a bottle top collection, but lost count after 5,000. I have no idea if my dad still gets Snapple like that, but his house still has a Snapple-only fridge.

40 People Who Won Lifetime Supplies Of Something Share How Things Are Working Out For Them I won a lifetime supply of pop-tarts when I was about younger. They sent a big box with around 30 of the normal shelf boxes in it every three months for about three years and then started dwindling off to eventually not sending any. I could never get into contact with someone to do anything about it either so I just let it go. Hell, I feasted like a king on pop-tarts for years as a kid... No bs about it either, I didn't even realize I had won until I received the first huge box. I even hid the boxes from my parents and sister for a while because I didn't want to share but that didn't last long. You can only do so much as a kid to hide dozens of boxes when you don't take out the trash and they eventually started finding full boxes of pop-tarts everywhere and had come to the conclusion that I was stealing them for fun.

Why do Pop-Tarts no longer make Pop-Tarts without frosting/icing? I liked the plain ones, warmed in the toaster and spread with butter.

40 People Who Won Lifetime Supplies Of Something Share How Things Are Working Out For Them My wife ended up with crates of maxi pads and a lifetime supply of Tums. She worked with a market research firm that would give household products to select consumers to gather information on their experiences with the products. Items like soap, toothpaste, and deodorant were commonly placed. The firm received way too many sanitary napkins in one study, and too many Tums in another. The surplus products are not needed at the end of the study and they typically have no labels, so they cannot be sold commercially, and the supplier never wants them back."
"So the staff can take the items home. My wife, being the thrifty darling she is, grabbed every single crate of pads available since no one else wanted them. They filled our basement, and it took her many years to get through them all. We still have Tums.

40 People Who Won Lifetime Supplies Of Something Share How Things Are Working Out For Them I won a year's supply of Chick-fil-A at a grand opening. They gave us 52 free Chick-fil-A sandwich vouchers, which could luckily be used for nuggets as well. Considering how many of those nuggets I would've eaten if it had been unlimited, they got off very easily. I worked next door to a Chick-fil-A that summer, and I ate nuggets for lunch. Every. Single. Day.

I don't keep track of it on account of the fact that I'm lactose intolerant.

I won an Airheads contest for guessing the correct flavour and won a treasure chest(literally) of Airheads, as well as a lifetime supply of Airheads. A box of about 130 or so gets shipped to my house once a month for free. ಠ_ಠ

I won a year's supply of condoms. I was in high school doing college tours, and they had open houses. They had clubs, frats, sororities...you name it. One was apparently a club for safe sex, and I entered the drawing, along with nabbing 20 free condoms. Apparently, I won. I'm serious when I say these condoms were the cheapest, driest, and smelliest condoms you could ever imagine. A box of about 200 appeared on my doorstep once a month. The worst part was having them sent to my parents' house until I moved out.

During university orientation week, one of the local pubs held a competition where you could put your name in a draw to win a year's supply of meals for you and your flatmates. I won it, along with some other people, and it started off great. The meals were straight off the same menu as the bar food, so they were fairly decent. About three months later, they'd slipped to the point where they were essentially Pot Noodles with a squirt of tomato sauce

I got a lifetime supply of warheads about 11 years ago; for whatever reason they had a competition at walmart where the person to make the best sour-face got a year supply. They picked me because my "face is so red it looks like he's hurting himself".

They shipped an entire box with hundreds and hundreds of warheads every month. The first month was amazing. Second month was pretty awesome. You can bet by the 12th I hated them and to this day I probably still have a few rotting around my room and in the cupboards :P

I won a year's supply of toilet paper while living in South Africa. I was officially a resident, so qualified for the contest, entered, and happened to win. I entered because why not, but when the cartons of tp arrived and filled our garage, it made me sick to think I had won when there was so much abject poverty all around us. So I gave a huge supply to a few local housekeepers and workers we had gotten to know, and the rest to all the car guards at the local shopping malls who we had gotten to know during our time living there. It was so exciting to win, but monumentally joyous to give it all away again!! (Yes this was way before the great tp shortage of the pandemic.)

I've never won a "lifetime" or a year's supply of anything, but back in 1999, the architecture/engineering firm I worked at was asked to help design & engineer a "birthday cake" for Hostess Twinkies. It was to celebrate the 70th "birthday" of Twinkies & they wanted to build it with the 12-pack boxes. I don't remember how many pallets of Twinkies they shipped, but we had them everywhere in the office! Our shipping clerk even made a Twinkie blaster & we had fun in the alley behind the building, shooting Twinkies everywhere! I never liked them, but some co-workers had to be stopped from eating them all the time!

My husband camped out at a new Chik-fil-a opening near us to be one of the first 100 customers. He had just been driving by and saw it was happening, so got in line and called me. I brought him dinner and a tent so he wouldn't lose his place in line then slept comfortably at home in bed! He did get free Chik-fil-a for a year, which was a card for 52 #1 meals (chicken sandwich, waffle fries and drink I believe). We went now and then and got two meals together, or treated a small group of friends a couple times, and he gave a few away to homeless people too. It didn't last a whole year but it was fun!

In the 90s, I belonged to a paperback book club that was a lot like those Columbia Record clubs. A sham for the most part. Each month they had a contest and if you were the first person to send in the right answer vial US Mail, you won a lifetime supply of their daily planners, which ironically hard back books. The question was, "Which author write about blatant drug abuse, but cannot spell to save his life?" I answered Brett Eaton Ellis because all he wrote about were drug users. I won. I got the daily planners for a few years, but either they went out of business and they went out of business. They were awesome though and had tons of book information in them.

Every time her friends went to the canteen and got a paddle pop free, they gave it to her (she was a pretty shameless scab). Then, on most of those she also won a free one. Not sure how long the promotion went on, but she still talks about the free paddle pops almost 10 years later.
