Sample Answer :

The only prize I ever won was a pair of wireless earbuds. And the funniest thing is that I got this prize in a giveaway contest on Instagram. I'm saying 'funniest' because I used to roll my eyes at those who entered giveaways and sweepstakes:

I thought it was just a waste of time because I was convinced that brands and bloggers create giveaways just to increase the number of followers, but never give prizes. I mean thought winners weren't picked at rando thought they announced winners just for s.... But, in fact, the whole thing was fixed from he start. However, during the lockdown it was so boring to stay home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week that I decided to enter a giveaway contest.

There's a tech blogger who constantly posts some of the coolest tech and gadget updates on his Instagram. And back then I noticed that he announced a giveaway contest. By that moment, I had been following him on Instagram for quite a while. Moreover, I saw the little blue checkmark next to his IG ascent name, which meant the account was off verified by Instagram. So I said to myself 'You've got nothing to lose' All I had to do was post a video or picture on social media using the contest hashtag, write an interesting caption, and then wait for a few weeks.

To be honest, I didn't expect to win anything I even forgot about the giveaway. So I was totally happy when I found out that I won such a great prize.
