Sweepstakes are highly effective promotions, even though companies may scale back other forms of advertising, sweeps give them more "bang for their buck"-so hopefully we'll see more sweeps as the economy tanks, not less.
where are all the winners?

I think advertising budgets are rarely cut, and sweeps are part of that. For example, our company has cut health benefits, raises, 401k matching, bonuses, stock options, and pensions - BUT they still sponsor sporting events at the same level as they have in the past.
Personally, the last 6 months have probably been our family's best ever at sweeps (in 4 years), which just goes to show that random chance never fails to be random.
I do notice that I win less frequently at instants, but I've attributed that to being more selective in what I enter.
As far as the last couple of weeks, folks are busy this time of year and probably posting less often as they squeeze in sweeping into their holiday schedule.

I have been doing sweeps for over 30 years now. While I have never won a lot of big wins. the biggest being a $5000 check, I have won almost 6000 sweepstakes not counting wallpapers,screen-savers or ring-tones.
I do not win as often as I use to but still enough that I enjoy this HOBBY. I have always found winning to come in cycles. My luck has never been to good at the end of the year.
I decide to quit once in 2001 after having my first real long dry spell. Two months after I stopped the $5000 win came in the mail. I vowed then to just enter and not worry about the dry spells.
Last year I won Instant wins 14 straight days then went almost 3 months with out an instant win.
Next year my goal is to get into the blogs sweepstakes.Who knows I may learn enough to write my own blodg on sweeping even if nobody reads it.
Take care and Good Luck next year.

I just started sweeping around the end of August and so far have won some very nice stuff! I haven't won much lately though ~ maybe the rush will come after January 1st??
But I never win daily-entry ones!! I have only won blog or one-entries. I hope my luck changes - I like alot of the daily sweeps!
