Good End and Start

The month of July has ended and I won a prize on the last day. How great is that?! I got a call from New York saying I won a prize pack which includes a t-shirt, tank top, luggage tags etc. I'm not even sure what sweepstakes it comes from. The lady told me but I wasn't listening to well I was so excited. By the way, I don't recommend that. You're SUPPOSED to listen carefully so you can make sure you follow any directions that give you and know what to do. Luckily all she needed was to verify my address. They're sending it out in 8-10 weeks.

If that wasn't good enough news, I also won a prize today on first day of August. An instant win, which was surprising. I rarely win instants in the middle of the day. The best time, I've found, is late, late at night or early, early in the morning. Anyhow, I won a DVD from Universal. It doesn't say exactly what DVD, but it should be something fun to watch I'm sure. Most likely it will be a horror film, since that's what the contest was about. I'm going to confess a secret. I'm a scaredy cat. I don't watch scary movies much at all. I'm afraid of having nightmares. No kidding.

Superhero Back to School Giveaway

This is my very first giveaway for this blog. I'm excited and hoping it turns out well. So here we go:

I got a chance to see the new Batman movie "Dark Knight" over the weekend with my sister and little brother. It was kind of long, but good. I loved Heath Ledger as the Joker. He did an amazing job. He made the movie for sure. I also saw Spiderman 3 on dvd. So since I've had a superhero weekend my prize will be a superhero prize pack.

Up for grabs is a 4 pc Spiderman 3 study kit. It includes a pencil case, ruler, sharpner and eraser.

To enter just leave a comment telling me who your favorite superhero is and why.

* One time per person/email please.
* Ends August 5th.
* Winner will be chosen randomly.

And the winner is: bison61

A WIN Received

No wins to report, well I take that back. I won a supposed gift certificate to a clothing online store. But it was more or less a gimmick to get people to buy something from their site. They only had one or two items that were under $10 and the shipping wasn't covered by the gift certificate. I did however receive today a win I had won a couple of weeks ago. I won a nice backpack from an instant win by Gillette. It's always fun to get a win in the mail. A surprise win is the best. There's nothing like the feeling of coming home to a delivered package and opening it up to find a great prize you won. I love the feeling of winning! The contest is still going on and there are lots of great prizes to be had. I've already scored mine now go get yours!

Introduction

One of my favorite and most lucrative hobbies is sweepstaking. Or contesting, as some people like to call it. This simply means I enter sweepstakes and contests. I enter exclusively online and I've won a treasure trove of prizes. Even though that mega grand prize still eludes me, it is a fun hobby. Not only that, but it's cheap, easy and very rewarding. It does require a bit of committment and a lot of patience. Join me as I show you the ins and outs of the hobby, what's up for grab, how to win and what to expect. Lets get sweeping!
