Have you ever won a diamond ring at a rodeo?


When I was a sophomore in high school, a rodeo came to my town. I wasn't into it, but went with a friend. During the "intermission," people had the chance to go down into the dirt and look for a metal ring wrapped in duct tape. Each ring represented something different, like a gift card or free dinner. One ring, however, represented a diamond ring. My friend and I went down and ran around like crazies looking for metal rings. I didn't find anything, while my friend found like, 10 rings. Not fair, right? Time ran out, but the metal ring that represented the diamond ring was nowhere to be found. The solution? Have a race! Everyone who didn't find a metal ring, which included me, lined up on one end of the dirt floor. I threw my clogs off, ran in my sock feet across the dirt, and WON. I never win anything, so this was a HUGE deal! I mean, come on, it was a diamond ring! 

Now, I know most of you haven't won a diamond ring at a rodeo, but have you ever won something totally unexpected? 

AND my picture isn't working... :( but it just shows you the ringggg!
