There have been continuous winners with "(varying names) H. of New Castle, PA" everyday, all day. I've emailed them a couple of times, and I know of someone else who emailed them several with no response so far. Obviously, someone isn't playing fair!  |

I wondered about that too. Doesn't seem right, does it?

Most sponsors catch it when something like this happens, but they haven't even responded to any of our emails; and they continue to pop up.  |

does that mean that the same person is winning a couple of times throughout the day? |

Just curious , in order for them to win that many times in a row, wouldn't that have to have numerous email accounts and somehow have figured out the winning time to win that many times?
I havent' won once much less numerous times. So, I figure they must be entering under numerous email accounts, because usually with contests , it's one email account per person. I believe 2 people are not allowed to enter using the same email account.
To enter just for myself (no one else) everyday is time consuming, I couldn't imagine entering the same contest that many times , and with different information, no less.

 Personally I can't figure out why anyone would waste that much time on a contest to win some lousy coupons. Let them, while they are busy trying to crack that one we can be entering to win the good prizes somewhere else.

That's what I figured, but it's the integrity of the whole thing. I know the sponsor usually catches and corrects the fraudulent entries, but it just makes you wonder how many other sweeps people like this are doing it on. Hey, with the price of everything these days, coupons are becoming as good as gold!  |

I assume they'll win the grand prize too  Maybe someone from the inside (of the sweep) is working with a friend on the outside to make this work...just a thought! |

I trust that they will pick up on it at least by the time they do the grand prize. The same thing happened with other sweeps like Cosmo Girl and Quick & Simple, and they picked it up at the time of the drawing and deleted the extra entries.

Is that one still going? LOL I quit that one a long time ago when I had read people were getting coupons that had already expired.
Hopefully, you'll get a reply, LDS but I doubt it. Good on you for emailing them anyway. It burns my you know what when this kind of stuff happens in a sweep.
