Today, my friend texted me from a bar, saying they had just called my name in a raffle to win a trip to Aspen, CO. You had to be at the bar to claim the prize. I had left the bar half-an-hour earlier, not knowing they were even having a raffle. FML

Today, I won a meal for two in a raffle. I had no one to go with. FML
Today, I won a big raffle. However, my name is so ridiculous-sounding that they thought someone was playing a prank, and pulled a different ticket. I was too embarrassed to say anything. FML
Today, I won a raffle organised by a friend. I discovered one of the "prizes" was actually a present that I had given to her, that she had "loved". When I asked her where she had gotten it, she said, "Oh, just some crap someone gave me once." She didn't even remember that I had given it to her. FML
Today, I won $200 a contest at a bar. The manager took me to a vault where money collected from the strippers go into a pool. He told me that at least half of the bills were slid through a strippers butt crack so I was to "choose wisely". FML
Today, I went with my sister to her company Christmas party. They had a gift raffle, my number was called and I won $25 for a local restaurant. A few moments later, the manager came over and said, "You don't work here? You can't have that" and took it from me. FML
Today, I drove 3 hours to the Capitol and back to cash my winning scratch ticket of $2000. When I got there, it was pointed out to me that it wasn't in fact a winning ticket. I'd already planned a weekend vacation at an adventure park the next state over. I’m flat broke and rent is due. FML
Today, I won a lottery at my local grocery store. Excited, I went to claim my prize, only to discover it was a bottle of red wine. I'm a recovering alcoholic. FML
Today, I woke up after a night out at the bar, immediately remembering that I had lost my cell phone, my ID, and somehow spent $100. Feeling like shit already, my friend then went on to tell me that I flashed the entire bar, and ran around the hotel naked. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My best friend decided to have a birthday party for me at this new bar. She texted the wrong address to all of my friends. They showed up at a computer store. FML
Today, I went to a bar with some friends when my wife texted me asking where I was. Not wanting her to know I was at a bar, I told her I was still at work. She was sitting in the booth behind me. FML

If you didn't even know there was a raffle, then how were you entered in it? Surely you would remember if you put your name down for something like that?

He probably entered while drunk. It is a bar after all

That bar probably has some good drinks.

To drunk to remember entering a raffle yet not to drunk to walk away?

It could have gone something like this Bartender: so whats your poison? Op: scotch on the rocks. Shaken not stirred (dont remember original line sorry ) Bartender: also whats your name so we can call you to get it. Op:scotch ted tedderson *bartender writes his name for raffle*

he was probably either just being pranked by his friend or it was one of those 'buy a drink and you get entered in the raffle' type things

Hmm I wonder how you were entered if you didn't even know there was a raffle going on? Not accusing anything, just curious.

Sometimes the raffles are only a few bucks a ticket and are easily forgettable. OP just needs to learn patience :)

They could have been entered into the raffle by one of their friends who wanted to be nice. I have had that happen to me before. It could also have been some weird thing they were entered into if/when they handed over their identification card to prove they were old enough to drink.

It's okay, it's only Colorado lol

No. Aspen is beautiful and has some fantastic skiing. I don't like Colorado but the ski resorts there are pretty great and definitely worth the trip!

should have opted for that clone when you had the chance

You should have told your friend to claim it for you as you....unless they required photo ids.

Usually they do to prevent just such a thing from happening. Op, are you sure your friend wasn't just screwing with you, considering you didn't know one was going on?

I didn't even think about that as a possibility. And it would totally make sense since OP had no recollection of entering the raffle to begin with.
