I won!!! [The Federalist Wines Backyard Makeover Sweepstakes]

Is this notification message for me?

I do not understand this message? Is this for me or is this just to inform of someone else's win?

It is just to inform everyone of someone else's win. The person who started the thread, glamgata, won, and quoted the winning message. Unfortunately, these direct quotes are confusing to newbies.

If you look at the first thread (stickied) here in the Winner's Circle, you will find an excellent explanation from Amy Shulk:
YOU WON You are a WINNER - New to SA? PLEASE READ

[h=2]"YOU WON You are a WINNER - New to SA? PLEASE READ"[/h]

If you are new to this site & new to sweeping, please read this thread.

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.

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.

PLEASE read the stickied threads in the Newbies forum to learn the ropes of this hobby;

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
