    I have won another trip -- this one is to Nashville for the Country Music Awards on Wednesday: airfare, hotel for 2 nights, tickets to the Awards and $500. I even talked them into adding sedan transport both ways between my home and the airport, so we'll be traveling in style. :-) This one was...

    Orlando's World Smile Day win

    I've been winning a lot of small prizes -- $50 gift cards, tickets to movies, theater and concerts -- but only a couple of wins that reached $100 in value over the past couple of months. Until today. I was just notified that I'm a winner in the Orlando Convention & Visitors Bureau's World Smile...

    Finally! A SheKnows win...

    Having entered numerous SheKnows hourly-entry sweeps for many months, I began to wonder if I would ever win one. The answer came today -- I won a $200 gift card from Kitson in their Win a Prize a Day sweeps that ended yesterday. GLTA!

    Nice start to my birthday...

    When I woke to a tray bearing hot breakfast, fresh fruit and coffee this morning, I knew it must be my birthday. And the day only got better. Got a call from a local radio station -- I have won an iPod Touch with a Bose docking station and speakers. We'll go pick it up this afternoon from the...

    Another $1,000 win!

    Two months ago, I won a $1,000 Visa gift card from the MyDealMania contest, so I stopped entering that one. But I convinced my husband to give it a try. (I'm the sweeper in the family; he almost never enters contests.) He played the last 5 days or so and, today, got a call informing him that he...

    Another good cash win

    Earlier today, I received a $1,000 Visa gift card from the Deal or No Deal Sweepstakes, so I was already in a very good mood. Then I decided to try my hand at a radio call-in contest where they play a brief voice clip and you have to guess the person speaking. Of course, you also have to be the...

    Here I go again...

    I have been having the most remarkable streak of good luck! I've had so many big wins in the past few months that I'm seriously thinking of quitting my job and sweeping full time! <only kidding!> Today, I was notified that I was one of ten Grand Prize winners in the Ice House Beer "Defend This...

    Such a Deal! $1,000

    I just got a phone call from the MyDealMania.com site telling me I was today's winner of a $1,000 Visa gift card. I was a bit skeptical of this contest and even hesitated to enter it. Maybe I'm still skeptical...I think I'll check them out thoroughly before I send back the affidavit. Also got a...

    Well shod...

    A few weeks ago, I won a pair of really cool Pony burlap sneakers (a limited edition design made to promote the movie "9"; only 99 pairs made) from Hot Topic. Today, I received another win -- another pair of sneakers. These are a one-of-a-kind design of Supra Vaiders created for the film...

    Another fine trip win

    Just notified that I was the winner of the Scheel's-Reebok Pro Bowl Giveaway. The prize is a trip for 2 to Miami for 3 nights and tickets to the NFL Pro Bowl at the end of January.

    Another travel win

    I seem to win a couple of trips every year. Just got word that the latest win is a trip for 2 to Israel from the "Light Your Way to Israel" promotion! With my interest in history and archeology, this should be fun. Also won a $250 gift certificate to a golf shop (which I'll use for clothes) and...

    My lucky streak continues...

    It's been a very lucky month for me! Earlier, I reported that I had won $5,000 cash from Chase Bank and, a week later, another $500 cash from the Washington Post. Today, I was notified by the Living in HD site that I was a Grand Prize winner in their 30x30 sweepstakes. They gave me the choice of...

    Buckmasters - Avoid like the plague

    A few months ago, I entered a Buckmasters.com contest. I don't hunt (except with a camera) but I think one of the prizes was an expensive pair of binoculars and I was hoping for that. I was careful (as I always am) to make sure that I was only entering a contest and not agreeing to buy anything...

    My Biggest Win Yet!

    Finally broke a long dry spell

    I've been going through a very long dry spell, with just a smattering of little wins, the best of which were $25 and $50 gift cards. But today I was notified of a somewhat better win -- 4 Goodyear tires worth about $400. Not a very glamorous prize, but a good one nonetheless. Last week, I got...

    RecRoom Weekly Win

    Just got notified that I was a weekly winner in the RecRoom TD Bank sweeps. The prize is a $200 gift card for my choice of home cleaning service, groceries, limousine service, or other services. I'm picking groceries 'cause I like to eat more than I like to drive around in an impressive limo...
