I won a trip & I was sooo excited! Then i realized it is a trip for 2. Who do i take? My fiancee? One of my daughters? No matter who i take 2 people are going to be sad. They say "be careful what you wish for, it might just happen."
Anyone else with this problem? How did you decide? I'm so torn between being excited & stressed out! Sounds crazy, I know! I am still excited & thanks to SA! I have been sweeping everyday since November & I finally won a Grand Prize! Woo Hoooo!!
 
Congrats on your win!! It depends what kind of trip it is if it is a romantic trip-take fiance, if it is a family trip or ladies trip take daughter.
 
:sunny: Congratulations! I agree with shaybetts. I depends on where/what the trip is. Just let whomever doesn't get to go this time, that the next trip is their turn. Which sweep did you win?
 
I just got the email & have to get the affidavit notorized & everything! I have to pick who goes with me before I can send it in. I have TWO daughters! That's the other part of the problem. Since i havent filled out the paperwork I dont know if i can say who it was yet. I will definetly post it as soon as I get everything worked out! Thank you for your input! I really need the advice!
 
I would suggest, like the others, you decide depending on where to and what the trip is. Or gather your fiance and daughters together, drop their names in a hat and and draw out a name. That way the ones not going will know that your choice was purely random. Have fun where ever your go with whoever you go with! :headbang:
 
Have you explained your dilema to your family and finace? I'm sure if they love you they will understand. What kind of trip is it that you have won? How many daughters do you have? You could always do a draw to see who wins or have your own kind of sweepstakes. I agree with the delima. Would one of them want to pay their way so they may accompany you on the trip? Perhaps you could go with the oldest first, then the next trip the next oldest. So many ways: again, depends on the trip. Good luck and enjoy :headbang:
 
How exciting!!! Very happy for you. Where are going? Could it possibly be like a honeymoon vacation. Maybe you should take fiance'? I think if you took 1 daughter and not the other, she will be upset you didn't choose her. Just a thought? Congratulations and good luck on your decision :thewave:
 
I honestly would see first if I could pay for my other daughter to come along...they might even decide to let her go for free. I won a trip a couple yrs ago, and one of the other winners was a minor and had to have an adult accompany him....well...they couldn't leave the other brother at home alone...and the people we won the trip from paid for him to come also. I've also won some other things...like tickets...and wanted one more and they just gave them to me for free. You never know..it's worth a shot! Good luck & congrats!

Yes, talk to the sponsor 1st, gl!!! and CONGRATS!!! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
 
:wave: CONGRATULATIONS on the trip win! I have been sweeping for more than 3 years and am still waiting for that elusive trip win. Hope you have a great time with whomever is chosen.
 
Is it possible to take both daughters, if they each pay 1/2 costs. You go free, they each have a 1/2 free share & 1/2 paid share... or if you can pay half to take one additional & they each pay in a quarter share? But ask the sponsor!!
 
How about picking names out of a hat? The lucky name picked goes with you. And WHEN you win again the pick will be between the 2 that did not get to go on this trip.
 
Most men HATE shopping, so that leaves the daughters I'm thinking! It would be cool IF the sponsor would pay for both, BUT if not, girls can be pretty jealous, so I'm with the hat draw idea. Random is better so no hurt feelings. Have a wonderful time!! :sunny: :wave: :sunny: Congratulations!!
 
Do i try to contact the sponsor before i send in the affidavit or afterward? They only gave me 5 days so i will need to have it notorized & faxed in this Friday! There is no phone number contact info, just a fax & an address. Can I mail them a heartwarming letter!?
Thank you for all your ideas, it has helped! They do both want to go but one is more of a fashion person. I told my other daughter I can get her something really nice if she doesnt get to go too.
 
Anytime they need something notarized, ACT! Get er done! THEN, once you fax all that to them, warmly sweet talk, and see if they'll spring for daughter No. 2. Kenny Rodger's said it all: "There'll be time enough for talkin', when the game is done!" If it was me in your shoes, I'd have had that baby notarized the minute I got it!!

I think you are handling those sisters well! Good luck and have fun on this great shopping trip!! :cheers:

Did you check the rules? Sometimes there is a contact point in them. Or their website - be forewarned if you try this, most likely they will have NO clue what you are referring to!!! You probably want marketing.

Either way, it sounds like lots of fun, ENJOY!!! :headbang: :cheers: :headbang: :cheers: :headbang:
