If you are new to this site & new to sweeping, please read this thread.
3/3/16; Reminder - newsletters that go out to many many people will NOT have a winning message for YOU unless they ID you specifically by name. Today, the SA newsletter gave a few of the many recipients the impression that THEY had won when it was highlighting that another member had won.
Winner threads posted in the
Sweepstakes Winners Circle with various thread titles {ie;
YOU WON and/or
You are a WINNER } are posted by the people who
DID win.
Some newbies are mistaking winner threads in the
Sweepstakes Winners Circle with thread titles of
YOU WON and/or
You are a WINNER as a personal message to
them that
they won, and they then proceed to post their personal info. These threads are NOT directed at you, but are the OP {Original Poster} posting what THEY won.
Here's an example:
Thread: I'm a Winner... I would like to claim my prize!
I'm a Winner... I would like to claim my prize!
REMINDER - you
must ENTER to WIN - for Instant Wins, they tell you right away, for regular Sweepstakes/Contests, the Sponsor/JA will either email, call, or require you to check their page to see if you won - each promotion will tell you in their RULES how/when they contact winners.

NOT WINNING ANYTHING? Tips on WHY:
Use SA correctly. You need to click the links and fill out the entry forms to enter. SweepsCheck is a great tool, but checking it off does not enter you in the sweepstakes.
As to notification? It could be email, by phone, or mailed to you - same as for snail, but you need to keep an eye on your email too
