2010 Wins

My largest win of 2010 was a HTC Hero cell phone. At the time I needed the cash so I sold it ebay. Now I'm wishing I had that phone. I'm need of a new one. Oh well.
I also won a $200 gift card for Coach. My sister and I went to the outlet store and we were both able to get a purse! We were both thrilled with our purchase.
Other wins includes books, a video game, music downloads, a $10 gift card and free product coupons. Nothing major, but free is free right?! 2010 was actually worse than the last and 2011 isn't looking so good, but I keep chugging along in hopes of winning the holy grail. (That being a car, house or large amount of cash)

End of the Month

This month is almost over and done. In the sweeping world that is a good thing. Hundreds of contests end at the end of the month. Everyone tries to get their last entries end because the cut off time in hopes of winning a prize. Any prize. Of course you just keep plugging away, entering your dailies and whatnot. But the chance of winning is always greatest after a boatload of contests end. I lose 100-200 usually. I can't say I miss having to enter them day in and day out, but there's always just as many to take their place. Just as a great many end at the end of the month. A large number begin at the beginning of the month, the next day. So you start the cycle back over. Trying to increase the number of sweepstakes you've entered. It's a numbers game. The more you enter, the more likely you are to win. I usually win something for every 200-300 sweepstakes I enter. Sometimes more or less. The only thing that is for certain is you have to be in it to win it. I love that motto!

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!
