What was the first and biggest prize you won?

I started sweeping during a snowstorm in late 2008. Last month I won my first grand prize from Life's Selfless love contest and I won $2000.00 from Cartier I got the Cartier Love Ring in Rose Gold and I got my husband a platinum wedding band since he had lost his. 1 Week later I got a call and won a Soap-net Virtual Boyfriend for a year that includes monthly flowers, $600.00 in American Express Gift Checks, and two jewelry deliveries my first has already come and it was a diamond and platinum neckless and ring from Tiffany's. I can't wait to win a trip! But it will be hard to top 2 grand prize wins in the same week!
 
My first win was a car seat organizer. I loved it. But now the kids are gone and I don't use it anymore.
My first big win was a trip to Santa Monica. I believe the sweepstakes was from e-diet.com. We stayed at a five star hotel on the beach and they gave us 1,000 dollars in spending money. We had a great time! Nothing like the first big win!!!

The AVR was 6500. My husband and daughter will leave the 28th to take the trip.
Last month I won the Halls Helps now Sweeps. It is 4000 Dollar worth of services I chose cleaning.
Still waiting on it now.

Don't forget to keep records of all the exact costs in case the sponsor fails to adjust the amount for the 1099. The ARV is just an over-inflated approximation. We even called the limo company used on our one trip to get the cost of bringing us to and from New York City.

Thanks for the tip this is the first trip that we have ever won.
 
My first win was a huge gift basket full of goodies. My biggest win was in 2007 when I received a call from EAS letting me know that I won the 2006 Body-For-Life contest. I won a check for $40,000, and over $10,000 in gifts. They also gave me an all expense trip for me and my hubby to Columbus Ohio to attend the Arnold Classic. And I received a home gym, and tons of other things. It still all seems so surreal.

I have also won many small and medium size prizes.

By the way, Great Thread!

i started sweeping a little over 3 yrs ago as a "BIG DOUBTER--nobody ever wins these things". then, about 5 months in (hadn't won a thing), i got a call saying i had won a new 335i BMW coupe--didn't believe it. but after a lot of research and many calls, it was TRUE. have been a very dedicated sweeper since!! have also been pretty lucky since, winning many nice things and my wife no longer gripes about the time i spend on the computer--another bonus

:headbang:

My first win was a $100.00 Visa Card within a week of me starting to sweep here at SA...I was so pumped!! No one believed me until I had it here at the house.

My biggest win so far has been a $500.00 referral contest here at SA...I won for referring the most people almost 2 years ago :headbang:
 
June 2009 will be 3 years I've been sweeping.

My 1st win was a Conair Ultimate Pedicure Foot Bath (ARV: $75)

My Biggest win was last year: $10k Overstock.com Shopping spree..... Came at a time in my life where i was ready to give up and walk away from life.... It was incredible.... I'll never forget my reaction when I won......


Congrats to all the winners..... You won't win if you don't Play...... Right????

Good Luck my SA family :sunny: Wishing everyone many many BIG wins this year....

Champppppppppppppppppppppppppppp :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
 
The first sweepstakes prize I ever won was a huge inflatable Halloween Sweepstakes yard decoration, from Benjamin Franklin Crafts - almost 10 years ago, I believe. I still have it and put it up every other year. It always makes me smile.

The most valuable prize I've won is the Shaw rug worth $750 that I won last year in their last instant win sweepstakes. The ones I've had the most fun with are the gift card wins, though. $500 and under over the years, and my iPhone. Heaven help me - at age 53, I just love that thing. (Although I give my children and friends most of my contest wins, some I just have to keep for my selfish self! LOL)

SA has been such a blessing for me - thank you so much for providing a great service to those of us who "feel lucky!"
