I just counted up my 2008 wins and it came to 108! Of course, many of those wins are of inconsequential items (a whole bunch of individual bags of chips or a t-shirt, for example), but there were some very good wins in the lot. Here's a list of the good, the bad, and the ugly: 5/4/2007-won a...

I loved this contest -- the Marriott Residence Inn at Times Square giveaway. You had 3 chances each day to pick a random number, and this old curmudgeonly-looking grandma (who looked JUST LIKE my own grandmother) would chide you for picking "an ugly number" or tell you "you suck at this". It put...

I just noticed that SheKnows contests are now telling you how many entries you have in each contest. The notice appears after you finish entering. That's a good feature, but unfortunately, the counts they are showing for me are WAY off. I enter only a few of their contests, but the ones I've...

I just returned from a 4-day trip to Sandusky, Ohio where we were guests of the K&N Filters company. They make automotive filters, and they ran a contest that I entered. I was one of 8 semi-finalists. All the semi-finalists were flown to Sandusky, Ohio (with their guests), put up at the Kalahari...

My latest two wins came this week. The first was a $250 gift card to diamond.com, a jewelry web site. I'm probably going to get a new watch with it. And then today, I received affidavits for another trip win, this one to the National Hot Rod Association drag races in Norwalk Ohio where we'll...

Last year, I received an Epiphone acoustic DR-100 guitar autographed by Amos Lee. There was nothing to identify the source of the guitar, and I had entered several contests where that guitar was the prize. Two weeks later, I received a second identical guitar, also signed by Amos Lee, and also...

Monday I won a movie ticket from Blingo. I don't get excited about these little wins, but maybe this one was a harbinger because, on Tuesday, I won a $100 gift certificate to cooking.com. That's better. But the capper came last night -- I won one of the Clear Channel contests and the prize is a...

I was just notified that I have won the Cavender.com contest for a pair of men's cowboy boots (ARV $129.95). This is another fun win for me. The boots will go nicely with that guitar I won a while ago. Hmmm...wonder where I can win a saddle? :-0 Last week, I was a daily winner in the New...

Orbitz Daily winner - airfare (& some other wins) About 10 days ago, I was the daily winner in the Orbitz "O Throw" daily game. The prize was 2 airline vouchers good for travel anywhere in the lower 48 (worth about $1,000). This is my second nice travel win in a year (the other being a trip to...
