How about temporarily re-naming the daily instants:
"Instant Lose!!!" :D
Example:
After all this time, you would think by now my witness could pick out the only dog with a rootbeer can for a head! :wink:

I'm here to cheer you up. Enter local contests, your chances of winning are much higher. I win alot of local contests. such as local newspapers, local radio stations, supermarkets. local tv stations, etc. they all have websites, and contests. the number of people entering is much lower than web wise. I highly recommend local contests.
I have only been sweeping for about 3 years. My very first win was a boyds bear pin (which I loved because I collect them.) Then I won a midevil sword, Excalibur. I have it hanging in my computer room.
My favorite win I've ever had is a local win. I won a trip into Manhattan (limo ride) dinner at a expensive restaurant on Madison Ave, and 6th row tickets to a show at Carnegie Hall. All on Valentine's Day. That was a great night. that was from a local magazine.
I won a $200. gift card to Target.
I have won locally radio stations, tickets to go to the movies (alot), tickets to plays. I won DVDs (I just won the first season of Weeds, local contest)
$100.00 in scratch off tickets.
Supermarkets, I won $150 in food gift certificates.
Local newspaper I won 2 tickets to Ringling Bros. Circus.
I won 4 tickets to see Sarah Hughes Stars and Stripes Ice Skating tour. (that was great) that was a local radio station.
I win mostly on instant sweeps and monthly. Never won anything weekly.
Instant sweeps I win alot , way too much to list. (and I don't want to bring you down) But , they've been really good wins, some expensive, and honestly, aside from the presents, I enjoy getting the free coupons and products, they save alot in grocery shopping bills. I appreciate the free coupon products.
My advice for the instants is to play everyday. You will win eventually. I hope this helps. good luck , and keep sweeping.

I suppose I will have to resign from the "Slump" club. I won a Scare-Crow; a contraption for your garden that squirts 2 cups of water at offending birds or animals. I, personally, don't keep a garden, but, my dad is the master organic gardener, so, I guess he gets it. I will reap the benefits, I'm sure, as now my tomatoes won't come with holes in them!

It's a hobby. more like an addiction. I went away for a week, no computer, no sweeping, by day 3 I was having "no win" withdrawls. Once you win there's always the possibility it could happen again, and your hooked. like a junkie! :D

most instants are done on random basis so any time it could happen.

never won anything extremely big.
but, for me, any win is an awesome win.
I've been very lucky lately too.
I can't complain.
sometimes they call. usually radio stations call you to let you know you've won.
sometimes emails say "Congratulations! Your a winner....." show up in your inbox.
and sometimes Ups, FedEx, and the Postman just show up on your doorstep with boxes (those are my favorites , because it's a surprise! It feels like Christmas!)
Just keep entering. Think of Lazlo (the guy from the movie Weird Science, throughout the whole movie all you did was see him entering contests, at the end of the movie the mail trucks just kept coming with prizes. that's what my family calls me "lazlo". cause I'm lucky)

it's all in the draw if your name is picked you are the winner , and it only takes 1 entry if yours is the right one |

Sweeping is so much fun. When you win its all honey but when you lose its all vinegar. Well I'm personally ready for a honey bar of somekind. I really don't care where it comes from but IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FREEBIES I'D NOT HAVE RECEIVED A THING FOR A LONG WHILE. Well since August 21st anyway, when I got the Clean Home Journal "OFF" Power Pad Lamp for the outdoors. I completely forgot this SURPRISE!! But I'll guarantee I"m ready for another. And, YES the entries are in to the companies.

Okay, so I need someone to moan to. I haven't won anything except two crunch sweepsand that was two, maybe three months ago. I decided I would keep a log to keep track of what I enter and win, but I think lately it would be too depressing because it would be full of zeros! Mind you, I don't enter all sweeps or even log on evey day because of other obligations and it is just a hobby... Then I check the winners circle and everybody is winning and I do feel really happy for them because I know that feeling, then I get recharged, and come up empty. Now, I feel a little better, guess I just needed to get that out. Hope you like that wine, have some cheese for me :lol:
