None. Didn't even know it existed.

Now where's my prize?

Take a look here. I'd say that unless you enter mostly group giveaways (you do know about the group we don't talk about, right?), your chances are really really low. You will more or less need 500-1000 entries before your first win, even more if you only enter for the highly wanted games (Skyrim, Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed III etc). But hang in there, and you will eventually win something :)

If you come to Vietnam, I'll buy you a pineapple. ;)
I'm beginning to think that if I worked a hour, I could afford to buy more games than taking the time to sift through pages at SteamGifts. I did win one game that had a 1/300 chance, but it was Bad Rat's: the Rats' Revenge. To quote the person who gave it to me, "I feel like I'm giving you cancer."

Too late, I left Vietnam last September. But I appreciate you choosing a pineapple as a gift, they are awesome. I would have been honored.
*blub*
No worries, I think I entered about 1k giveaways before I "won" one, which was a beta key to Tryst. I barely got to play it too.
Actually that is pretty average luck...
If you are on average 1 out of 500 participants, your chance to win nothing in 171 attempts is still around 70%...

Were you in VN for work or pleasure? Pineapples here are fantastic, as I'm sure you know, but my favorite is dragonfruit.
You enter giveaways where you have 0.01 % chance of winning and you're surprised? :P
I've entered 384 giveaways, and won one.
94/0 and counting. I am in for the fun (if there is any) :D I know that if you are not in a group giveaway the chances of winning are pretty slim. I enter mostly giveaway that are about to end soon (in the nex 10 minutes) plus occasional bioshock or something else. Mathematically you have the chances, they are just very very little :D

Both, actually... but mainly pleasure. Although I made a mistake of going with a friend who repeatedly insisted on going to all the tours/tourist traps instead of my usual random walks, and that didn't end well. Not only did I not enjoy those tours, we had a little motorbike accident and he got 5 stitches on his knee.

And yeah, pineapples are amazing. Just never trust a mango.

You made my day by accident :D In my language mango translates to gypsy :D:D How very right you are with this.
