Some very funny things happen from time to time that I notice on the site.\u00a0 Just the other day there was a member who was worried because they won a new Dell Laptop in a Dell Sweepstakes.\u00a0 They commented on how they won it and was wondering if it was odd that the prize didn’t come yet.\u00a0 All of a sudden 4 other people chimed in also saying that they won laptops.<\/p>\n

I was sitting at my computer laughing at this because I’d never heard from these members before this.\u00a0 I starting wondering why some members don’t want anyone to know if they won a major sweepstakes prize<\/a>.\u00a0 Have you ever seen the movie “A Christmas Story” ?\u00a0 The dad in the movie wins a major prize<\/a> and wants the whole neighborhood to know it.<\/p>\n

I’ve always known that the number of people who don’t say they won anything is far greater than those who do.\u00a0 It’s always your perogitive whether or not you post about your win in the winner’s circle<\/a>.\u00a0 Don’t be a shy sweepstakes winner. Post a quick comment about it and share your positive news with the other members.<\/p>\n

One of the beneifts to running a sweepstakes directory is seeing and reading<\/a> about all the good fortune.\u00a0 So put a smile on everyone’s face and shout about your prize that you won. It spreads a little joy around in a time of bad economy and earth quakes.\u00a0 You can post about your sweepstakes<\/a> win very easy. Just navigate to our main page and click the “post win” link within the winner’s circle<\/a>.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>
