 Crying..... And giving up on this whole sweepstake thing......It's weird though, cause I like winning stuff and getting free things or what not, but just lately for some reason, I keep asking myself if it's worth it? Is it really? Maybe because I read all these other great wins from others and it's not like I'm jealous or anything like that. But maybe I just want a "real" win. So tired of winning sports bottles, shampoo, frebreeze cans, etc.Have any of you ever gave up for a good amount of time? |

I'm with you honey! I have actually been staying away for the past week or two. If I REALLY REALLLY get in the mood to sit at the computer for a while, I will do my instants but other than that - I think I need a break. My shoulder hasn't hurt lately either. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm wonder if that has anything to do with my computer/mouse usage. But when we make our comeback I just know it will be good.

just remember ya cant win if you dont enter. take a couple of days and then get back to it. some sweeps take months to notify a winner. dont give up. It is worth it. keeping my fingers crossed for ya that you get a huge win very soon.

 Only you can decide how much time you are willing to give up for sweeping. I have been at this for many years and some years, even after entering day after day I never win anything big, just tons of little things. Your big win could come tomorrow or it could take years. You just have to decide how patient you are and do you enjoy doing this.

No, I really enjoy sweeping; but I invest the effort in ALOT of sweepstakes, and it pays off for me!

If you really enjoy sweeping, don't give up. Like others have posted, it sometimes takes months or even years to win substantial prizes. If you steadily enter as many sweeps as you can find...your ship will come in one day.  Maybe you should stop entering for really small stuff like Febreze cans...and focus on bigger ticket items of things you really want. Try entering mail-in sweeps as well. That provides you with even more chances of snagging a good prize. Remember, diligence pays off. |

I know what you mean champagne. I am just waiting for the big wins. I have only been sweeping for a year and haven't won any big prizes but I am trying to be patient also. I know I have that shoulder pain and I am steadily entering every day. Someday our turn will come. I'm right there with you  |

I love gardening and about a year ago, I took several months off from sweeping, and devoted my time to seed starting/trading, etc. But now I'm back with a vengeance!!

Don't give up!!!! I just won a really big prize. Sweeping is about perserverance, patience, dry slumps and great excitement. I have been in such a slump and this was just fantastic! Don't give up!
Remember too the more you enter, the better your chances. Hang in there Champagne!
