35 Stories from People Who Won a Lifetime Supply of Something

The luckiest people among us aren’t those with good health or a loving family — nobody cares about that stuff. The true chosen ones are those who manage to win a lifetime supply of something. It doesn’t really matter what that something is either. Having too much of something is usually a better problem than having too little of it, and the situation becomes funny when a hint of irony is introduced to the equation. 

One guy, for instance, won a lifetime supply of dog food, and in a twist of fate, his dog developed an allergy to the food about a year later. Now, he donates the food to a local animal shelter so it doesn’t go to waste. Another Redditor won a lifetime supply of bubble tea, but conceded that they can only cash in for “one or two a month” since becoming prediabetic. 

Other Redditors have shared the stories of how they’ve won a lifetime supply of something, and whether the results were ironic or not, most companies kept their word — except for the brewery that claimed to offer a “lifetime supply” of beer. They should be ashamed of themselves.

BDreier12 6y ago Not me but one of my buddies family won a lifetime supply of bread, they delivered on the bread but the catch is that it came yearly on a big truck.

 6y ago . Edited 6y ago I won a Lifetime supply of water from Deer Park, a water brand in the south. And by lifetime I mean only throughout college.

Long story short, I now own a Nintendo Switch.
treemoonstars 6y ago In the 90's back in the dialup days of Internet I won a contest, on a now gone website called Yazone. They mailed me a lifetime supply of Fruit-a-Burst gum for being picked as one of the winners. It came in one of those large plastic mailer bags and was just filled with gum packs that used to cost 25 cents. I got so tired of that gum I never bought it again. So they were technically right about it being a lifetime supply. 5.8K ...
Captnhappy 6y ago UGH! I won a lifetime supply of hot dogs at a hot dog festival once. It came with a nice grill, except when I went to pick up my hot dogs, the company gave them to me all at once.

Dry-Meeting-8763 2mo ago I won a trivia thing from a radio station in 2015-the prize was a lifetime supply of passes/movie candy from AMC theaters. They gave me a gift card looking thing to show at AMC that allows up to $40 in snacks for free plus admission. It's been almost ten years and this card still works. It's saved my butt so many times when I was struggling financially-I could go get dinner or sit in air conditioning for a few hours. I'm honestly shocked that it's still valid but it's probably the best thing I've ever won in
violent-green 2y ago When a new Tropical Smoothie Cafe location opened in our neighborhood, they ran a promotion for free smoothies for a year for the first 50 people in line on opening day. My husband made me stand in line for three hours before they opened. We were 24th and 25th in line. The free smoothies for a year was limited to one smoothie per week. Still, we each had 52 free smoothies. Not a bad deal. 2.6K ...
Ok_One501 2mo ago One of my friends won a lifetime supply of dog food through a contest he entered on a whim. Не was ecstatic at first-who wouldn't be?-but then his dog developed an allergy to the specific brand after a year or so. Now he just donates the bags he still gets to the local animal shelter. So yeah, he's still getting it, but it's not exactly going to use as originally planned! 651 Reply ...

tehm 6y ago Free internet for life and a year's supply of Соса-Соӏа checking in. I got the free internet through an Oak Ridge National Labs (ORNL) program for middle school students in 1994 (Sacam). I used it consistently for something like 10 years but at that point dial-up was so far behind Cable or DSL that I just kind of stopped using it. I honestly don't know if it would even work any more as I've had no reason to try it. The free Coke products was a little weirder--basically when I was attending university I noticed that the
DonkeyHodie 6y ago I found a gray M&M in a pack in the late 90s. At first I thought I won $1M, but I won the second prize of a year's supply of M&Ms. I had no idea what that meant when I sent in the wrapper. They sent me back a box of 400 coupons, each good for a pack of M&Ms. I love M&Ms, but after the first 30 or 40 packs, I started to get a little tired of them. I'd take some coupons with me every time I went grocery shopping, and if I saw kids

billwrtr 6y ago Old Redditor here. I won a lifetime subscription to Playboy magazine in 1969. I was a senior in college. It was the raffle grand prize at a big party weekend. The subscription has followed me around the world ever since. Don't anyone say those old issues are worth something. Except for the very first year issues, they are worthless. And who saves old magazines? Also the articles haven't been much to get excited about for quite a while now. I'm currently bracing for a final issue arrival or notification of same. It has been a lovely run.
AkKik-Maujaq 2y ago Won a lifetime supply of mini chocolate milk cartons during a milk day at school lol (if you opened a carton of milk and it mooed at you, you had to call the number on it and report that you have mooing milk). That was in 2007. I'm still getting milk shipped to me lol my fiancé drinks it because I've grown to hate milk + 5.3K ...
ChadManning1989 6y ago Edited 6y ago I once won a Lifetime's supply of toys from Toys'R'Us... A $500/month store credit card. Now the Assholes rather go into liquidation then honor their agreement. (IDFC if you thought kids grew out of toys when they're 18; I'm a member of a huge extended family, and used the Toys as Gifts, and the Collectable Transformer Exclusives...) If they said 'To play with' in 1998, would be one thing, maybe I'd understand their logic. But the F***ing assholes didn't even gimme a heads up that they were cancelling that monthly $500/month store credit card
