If you're like me, you have a sweepstaking bucket list, so-to-speak, or rather a top 5 or so prizes that you would love to win. Here are mine (in no particular order):

-a car
-trip to Europe (any country in Europe will do)
-a cruise
-a large lump sum of money (at least $10,000)

What are your "white whale" wins?
 
LOL I'll play. Maybe it will be like the whining wall and actually help it come true! :)
My list is similar to yours, and probably most people's on here.
-a car
-a trip to the UK
-a large cash win
-a tv
-a new computer
knocking on wood! :)
 
Fun!

-A new laptop
-Cell (preferably the Galaxy SIII)
-Large cash win
-Tool set or other "man toys" for my hubby
 
Hmm

1} Cash
2} prepaid visa
3} Amazon codes
4} Kindle

Pretty much any win that can defray costs in our budget! DH kept his job, but since the end of 2009, he's made less for the same work. I can't work {disabled} so with prices going up, we've cut our already frugal budget to the bone!

Oh - the Kindle is something I kinda want, but I read a lot, and I'm not sure after spending the day on the computer my eyes would be able to take it, plus, I enjoy paperbacks. :p
 
These are great! Maybe it's hokey, but I love visualizing winning one of my bucket list wins. I had a fifth one--an Ereader/Tablet--on my list, but I met this milestone last year when I won an iPad 2. I believe in the power of positive thinking so here's hoping we're all able to knock some of these off our lists this year! :o)

I love winning Amazon codes. That, and movie tickets are some of my favorite things to win. I can relate to wanting to defray costs. My husband is a perpetual student and for 9 months I was (f)unemployed. Still, with only one of us having a salary, we are on a tight budget. If I won cash, I'd probably faint!

I know what you mean Amy. I'm disabled too. Every little gift card I am grateful for.
I'm also a huge reader. I won a kindle a while ago and didn't think I'd like it, but I've been converted! Although, since I won the Ipad, I've used the Kindle less and less. The nice part about the kindle is you can check out more books from the library (I read a lot!) When my eyes get tired, I move to paper, then on to the audio stuff. The best thing about the Kindles is the radio apps. I can listen to radio all over the world. Hope you win one soon!

lol - I forgot to number that as my 5th - Pretty much any win that can defray costs in our budget

I'm a voracious reader, and buying books was what I spent money on, instead of makeup/clothes/jewelry {so NOT a girly girl, lol!!!} but when I could no longer afford it, I went to used - then the store I liked closed. They had a big selection of my favorite genres {Sci-Fi & Fantasy} and others I checked didn't, so until I started winning Amazon codes, I just had to re-read ones I already had.

I always do the 4 for 3 & get free shipping, I *LOVE* Amazon!!!
