Since whining worked so well in September, I'm going to try it again. It's been over 2 weeks since I got a win. That doesn't sound like a very long time but I've been religiously entering hundreds of sweepstakes a day. You would think I would have won something in the past 2 weeks, even if it was just a $5 gift card or a coupon for a free candy bar. Maybe my luck has run out. I had an amazing September and October. I was bound to hit a dry spell sometime. I was hoping the dry spell wouldn't hit until next year. I desperately need money for the holidays. A really nice cash win would make the holidays a little bit brighter.
I also wanted to whine about something I won in September. It was a bottle of dog shampoo worth $80. The sponsor sent it out at the beginning of October and then I got a notice from UPS that there is a $40 tariff on this $80 bottle of dog shampoo that is coming from Canada. I don't even have a dog - I was going to give it to my brother's dog as a gift. No way am I paying $40 for a prize. When the UPS guy tried to deliver it, I told him to send it back. He told me that he gets a lot of that lately. I'm debating on whether I should tell the sponsor about it or not. They should figure it out when they get the package returned to them. I'm not expecting them to do anything about it though.
