I can't remember exactly what I won first, it was several years ago. I seem to think it was around the Gatorade sweepstakes time and I won a bottle and a towel and I was so happy! I was on a long break from sweeping, but I have the fever again!

The biggest thing I have ever won was a $100 GC to Amazon.com.

What are yours?
 
My first win was a superman puzzle(I still have it BTW, it sits on my desk) from the quaker oats instant.. It only took 10 months to get to me. They had a lot of problems with that sweep.

My biggest win was a year supply of hilshire farm products and a check for 3,000 that I won from the shrek/aol.. sweep.
 
I won the only prize in the "Kemp's Moosic Contest" where you had to create a new ice cream flavor and name it. They judged it based mostly on creativity and originality.

I won $3,200 in travel vouchers.

There were many other big wins since then.

Wow, that's great. What was the name of it? I love ice cream. Blue Bunny is made here in Iowa.
 
I've only been sweeping for about 3 months and hope to win something really big someday. My first win was a stick of Secret deodorant. And my biggest win to date was a $100 Caress Visa gift card. It's quite fun and addicting. :headbang:

I signed a confidentiality agreement not to disclose that information until such time that they decided to market it. Last I checked, it hasn't been marketed yet. Things like that can take years before they come out. Plus, the name alone would probably need some legal workings involving copyrights.

Ah, legal jargon. Oh well, it's still has to be pretty exciting!
 
my first win ever was a wireless mouse from Fed ex. It was an office game and you had to "push" a person in an office chair like a race....
My BIGGEST win (ILL NEVER FORGET) was last year from Kraft Macaroni and Cheese...$50,000.00 check! We remodeled and furnished every room of our house except the bathroom and kitchen. (im trying to win a bathroom makeover as I speak...
 
the first prize I ever won was a Boyds Bear pin (which i still have and love, I collect Boyds Bears , so I was in heaven when i won it.)

Can't exactly say what the biggest prize i ever won was? :scratch:

I get excited over coupons and teeshirts.. , i couldn't imagine how i would react if i won $50,000. I'd probably be in heaven 10 times over.

I'm still waiting and i've got my fingers crossed for a cruise someday.
 
My first win was a Jaws bubble watch that I won from the 1st movie.
My biggest win was $2000 from an Ivory soap contest. That was 5 yrs ago still waiting
for another biggie. :wave:
 
i started sweeping a little over 3 yrs ago as a "BIG DOUBTER--nobody ever wins these things". then, about 5 months in (hadn't won a thing), i got a call saying i had won a new 335i BMW coupe--didn't believe it. but after a lot of research and many calls, it was TRUE. have been a very dedicated sweeper since!! have also been pretty lucky since, winning many nice things and my wife no longer gripes about the time i spend on the computer--another bonus

:headbang:
 
Last year I won a trip to Barbados from Cover Girl. I've never been to the Caribbean and have always wanted to go so it was a dream come true! My husband and I spent four glorious days there (not long enough!). We only got the airfare and hotel so we had to pay for our meals and drinks, which was very expensive, but definately worth it since I doubt we will be able to afford to take a vacation again for a long time. :sunny:
 
My first prize I ever won was legos and I don't know from where. Must of been a magazine.
My largest win was a 46" tv and then a couple of monthes later a 42" tv. Nothing has ever compared to that for me.
 
This last fall won the Live like a celebrity sweep. It is a trip to New York with limo, Hotel stay at Four Seasons, Air Transportation, shopping spree, Dining and a day at the spa and a 500 dollar American Express gift card.
The AVR was 6500. My husband and daughter will leave the 28th to take the trip.
Last month I won the Halls Helps now Sweeps. It is 4000 Dollar worth of services I chose cleaning.
Still waiting on it now.

Don't forget to keep records of all the exact costs in case the sponsor fails to adjust the amount for the 1099. The ARV is just an over-inflated approximation. We even called the limo company used on our one trip to get the cost of bringing us to and from New York City.
 
My first win after I started sweeping with SA was a tote bag and a DVD from teh Sundance Channel.

My largest win to date was 1500.00 from HGTV and my local radio station for a kitchen makeover.
