Anybody hit a win on instant wins from Tropicana IW, Travel Channel IW, Ghiradelli IW, or Lindt IW-- lately...last couple of months or more? Just curious.
Oh...or Fiber one?

 saraclare1 You'll probably get a clearer idea by checking the COMMENTS or doing a search in the Winners Forum, since very few SA'ers visit the forums, and even fewer post wins - most SA'ers are "power sweepers" that don't have time to chat - gotta enter!!!

- most SA'ers are "power sweepers" that don't have time to chat - gotta enter!!! My allotment is 24 minutes per day-to vote, chat, help others. Then it's back to the entry lists, filling out affidavits, scanning, e-mailing, notorizing, finding codes, etc... Good luck everyone |

Since I moderate, I end up spending more time in the forums than I do on sweeping any given day, and lately I've barely entered at all, but it's been working for me lately, so no complaints!  |

I've seen exactly 1 winner circle post from the Fiber One IW, a handful from Tropicana, Ghiradelli and Lindt, but they seem to be few and far between. I don't think I've ever seen a win posted from the Travel Channel one either for the IW or the big monthly trip prize. |

I won a coupon for a free bottle of Tropicana, I almost gave up on that one! Just goes to show you never know when you will get lucky.

I ask myself....how can I play everyday, everyday and never hit one! Oh well....I guess they only have a few winners stashed in there....hiding well. LOL |

LOL Ask my SO! But I come here and post for a break.  |

Meant to say hubby won a bottle of juice from the Tropicana IW-he only does the game type sweeps. But I'd love to win that handbag from Fiber One.. Good Luck! |

I meant to answer this long ago...got distracted, etc. That seems amazing to me for someone to actually win on the Tropicana instant! Good for him! I need to add another amazement would be to see winners for Hershey's (Smores) IW.... |

saraclare1 - I forgot to mention something I noticed fairly early on. I'd about go nuts seeing people post wins on IW's with LOTS of prizes and I couldn't even come close, but I'd up and win from an IW with very few prizes instead!  Now I don't really pay attention to much - I skim to see if there are prizes I'd like to win, if yes, I add it to My Sweepstakes, then go to the next. If someone posts a win, I get reminded of the prizes, but otherwise, I just forget what they are and don't notice when they end!!! |

Funny thing is....I don't think these contests I mention have a lot of prizes....some have just like a candy bar or something.....but they are stingy with it. LOL I guess if you think about it, if there are thousands of people playing...somebody might be getting that candy bar or coupon for free juice everyday and we might never know. I am just glad to read when *someone* wins one!...They are so elusive! |

Right - I play the ones you noted in your OP, but I couldn't tell you what they are giving away or how many, without peeking first! |

The people sweeping through sweepsadvantage/plus are only a segment of the people sweeping in total, and of those, the ones who venture in and post to the forums are a smaller group yet.
So there may be people winning the more elusive stuff, they just may be non-posters, or outside this particular site.
Basically any data/trends from the winners circle is usually not enough to indicate how winnable anything in particular is.
But I can definitely see where we all mentally go to the "no one is winning that sweep" place when we don't see any posts about it, and "everyone but me is winning that sweep" when we see a bunch of posts about it and we keep hitting the "Sorry" screen personally.
Granted, there are exceptions (like when the Kellogg sweep was broken and we saw a game that was supposed to have 50 prizes posting 20-30 or more wins in a single evening), but that's why it's an exception.

Yes....I just get the impression some sweeps don't have as many IW's as others. That was really the final opinion I was expressing. I was just asking for a general consensus. Thanks for the input! |
