Hubby's lucky night

Are you one of those people that think that those online contests and on-air sweepstakes are just another scam to get your home phone/cell/adress/etc info?

Yeah, so was I.

But then a couple of nights ago Hubby and I were watching the Olympique de Marseille Vs. Eindhoven Champion's League game (what can I say, we love soccer!) and suddenly an online sweepstakes came on during the half time.

Basically you had to text the answer to a really silly question the commentators asked on air. As hubby was reaching for his cell phone I couldn't help snorting a "what a looser" under my breath.



Well, the joke's on me, cuz whad'ya know: HE WON!!!



A few minutes after having sent his text he got a call confirming that his name at been randomly picked and he one of three winners of that evening's prize!!!!!!!!!!!


WHOU-HOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!



So what is it we won you ask? (notice how it suddenly becomes our prize??)


Well, sadly enough it isn't this:

Nor this:

And *snif*, nope, none of the following either:

Well, what did you expect? It's a soccer game people!!!


Now, if I could only convince Hubby to buy a Lottery ticket on his way home this evening......

Woo quand meme, that's not too shabby a prize! Can you ask him to buy me a lotto ticket while he's at it?

That is still a pretty cool gift (for him) for a text...I always wondered if those things were real, I guess now I know they are :-)

PS -one of my readers on my blog left a comment directed as a question to you, in my comment section of my last post...thought you'd like to know.

Jonnifer: hehe... the good thing about this prize is that apparently now we can watch Blue Ray movies... forget the video game part... I can't wait to see the Bourne movies on Blue Ray!!!! *drooling*

Ale: Believe me, next time I'm watching Desperate Housewives and they put on one of these on-air contests, I'm hauling Hubby's butt into the room and ordering him to text in the answer (he's the one with the lucky texting fingers it seems)... the prizes they give out during DH are THE BOMB!!!! :D

Bluestreak..."Es la leche"????? That is the funniest expression EVER!!! Oh, wait... except for "Me cago en la leche"... that one takes the prize. LMAO.

That girl: Funny you mention it being a good gift for him... since it so happens that tomorrow is Hubby's b-day!!!! So I've warned him not to expect a gift from me this year. After all, we both for the cell phone bills (and that includes texting)... LOL (hehehe, aint I cheap?)

First, Happy Birthday to your hubby! and (while his luck is on a roll) can you have him call the radio station for me and winning some tickets to the Halloween Bash at Disneyland for me? ;)
