I never win anything on these but the last 3 I have,
I logged on and totally forgot about this tournament and the window popped open, so it had my interest to watch as I never watch them. Also the hand I lost to was 2/4 with my Q/k

Cheers mate you started the year 2015 in a good way keep it up and win some more money from tournaments, they are fun to play but sometimes it can be lengthy , have you ever played rush tournament on full tilt and good time to play is on peak hours there is not much traffic so more chance to win the big prize and no need to play against a big field, anyway congratulations again man, keep up the good work mate!

I personally hate the full tilt interface...
I have placed in the money on full tilt before about a year ago and ever since I cant, I lost everything so I tend to stay away. I do like the format of some of the tournaments but also the rush poker on there feels like the BS of the spin and goes!

Congratulations man for winning USD 22.50 in the very first tournament of the new year. I guess, if it goes on like that for you, that might become a very good year. I have played two Sit n Gos today and at least have had one minimum cash.
Lottery or no lottery it's still money, yo. Everybody wants money at the end of the day and nobody wants to be robbing a bank for it so theres really no reason to be ashamed for this. Congrats. I usually have bad luck with shootouts but that doesn't mean I won't win some money with it someday... It just a matter of time.
good luck in new year
