I only had four wins for July which include:

$10 Home Depot card from American Family
Sophyto Daily Renewal kit $114.00
$100 Gift Card Banana Republic from Uni-Ball
Shaw Carpet Cleaner

I'm grateful though. TYJ and SA!

  Congrats on what looks like a good month - may not be as many wins as you usually get, but some really good ones! enjoy!

Wow, glad to hear your grateful, look like a pretty good month to me. 

census1 I moved your post to this forum since while you were posting wins, it didn't seem like you were reporting something you *just* won.

As to it drying up? I guess it's all in where you are sitting - years ago, I was winning at least 3 - 4 times a week, sometimes I'd win 3 in one day! Then I went through a 6 week slump, which ended with an awesome $700 camera win. Since that camera was worth more {money wise and to me} than *most* of my frequent wins, I'd gladly trade the frequent little wins for the rarer biggies.


In fact, my biggest win took 6 years of entering, and my frequent wins had long dried up:

I knew what you meant and wasn't trying to browbeat you - I was saying there just *might* be a positive in this  

WOWSA - now that I know you hit so big and so fast, I understand why you feel this way much better!

After I won the $10,000 last year, I remember going through a funk where I thought "how can I top this" and I really slacked off. Then I took my own advice:

Sweeping is a hobby that is all about timing. Especially for those elusive instants! IF you enter at the exact right moment, you will win. If not? Sad to say you won't. But I assure you - it's nothing personal, and those who win a lot don't have any "secrets" - they are just consistent, persistent, and patient.  

The sweepers credo? Enter and forget it. Always be happy for those that win - even when they win "your" prize    - and be positive you will win.
  
Reminding myself of the sweepers credo is how I keep my positive attitude, and my sanity.

I really believe that if you go into it thinking you can't win, well, you'll MAKE yourself right so often you'll start believing it!!! I truly do believe you have to have a positive attitude - don't get hung up on what others are doing - just focus on entering, then move on to something else - like posting so we can get to know you!!!  

Hang in there - and enter, enter, enter - you'll be posting a win before you know it!!! And remember - every day brings new opportunities to win!!!
