Sweepstakes?

[tinkerbelljenny]

Anyone into sweepstakes? I am a huge sweepstakes addict. I enter every sweepstakes I can find. I have about 5 that I enter every day.

I've thought about it...but I am not very lucky, lol! Have you ever won anything major? (or small even, for that matter!)

OMG! I am a total sucker for sweepstakes! Love entering them whenever I can, too!

The best way to win, I find, is to enter smaller, local contests (like through radio stations, etc.). The overall pool is smaller, and your chances greatly increase!

If you are interested, here is a link to a great Sweepstakes Internet Site, that categorizes them every way possible (daily vs. weekly vs. one-time entries, types of prizes, etc.)

sdianems, I have been on that site for 3 years now! How funny! Are you a regular on there? I don't have the paid subscription, do you?
The largest thing I won was from a sweepstakes I entered on there, I won $5000 trip to Nashville to see the Titans play, hotel, flights, and they gave me money. I took my DH, son, and two of our friends and it was all paid for.

I am currently entering the HGTV home everyday and also the Coors Light sweesptakes which I just won a tshirt from yesterday, would love to win another trip.

I don't have the paid subscription, do you?

Nope....actually, until your question, I did not know that they had a paid subscription option. Don't know how it could be any better than it is now; it is so filled with opportunities!

Way to go with the Grand Trip! I am always striving for the big ones like that, but haven't managed it yet.....

But plenty of "smaller" gifts over the past few years, like:

Passes to the Museum of Science
Passes to the Movie Theatre (choice of local theatres)
Tickets to Theatre Productions in Boston
Tickets to Local Farm League Baseball Team Games
Dunkin' Donuts Breakfast for the Office (that made me really popular at work)!

That Home on HGTV is absolutely mouthwatering-yummy!!! But then the practical side of me kicks in and I wonder how on earth I would pay to heat that place if I actually won (silly girl)!

Congrats on the t-shirt!

Thanks sdianems! I will have to check out that site, love to save money too! I won a karaoke machine the other day and UPS delivered it...crazy! It is my second biggest prize.
Good job on the tickets! I would love to win tickets to a play or a concert! And my office would go nuts if we won free food!
