Baffled

I am just curious if and what any of you have ever won online by entering sweepstakes. I am a hopeful and diligent sweeps enterer but have yet to win anything. I sure would feel encouraged to hear that some of you who enter alot of sweeps occassionaly win.

I have won various little things but I'm still waiting for the Mother Load.
(I have my eye on that HGTV house in Maine)
I may never win BIG but I enjoy the little surprises.
Good luck to you!

Big grin

I was a daily winner at thegeeknextdoor.com and won a DVD player. That is my biggest win online.

I also won $100 from a travel contest and a $100 jewlery GC from jackpot. And lots of little things, like movies and free products.

I have won a very nice gift basket from [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]

I enter for the small prizes because I figure I have a better chance to win and it is so exciting to get an e-mail saying you won something!

Cool

I won a six month's supply of cat litter. The notification
came by certified mail from an accounting firm that said
that said winner's notification on the outside. I was
jumping up and down thinking I had won something really
big, but hey with the winter we have had here, cat litter
came in handy for the driveways.

I've been entering online sweepstakes for a little over a year. I only enter ones that have cash prizes unless they have small prizes (under $500) of something I really want. I figure I don't want to win some big prize and then have to dip into my savings to pay the taxes on it. So, I'm better off entering for only cash.

Anyway, in just over a year, I've won $1000 gift card for Target, $100 gift card for Kmart, and $100 credit for drugstore.com.

I use Roboform to enter all my sweeps. I enter anywhere from 15 to 40 a day and usually am done in under 20 minutes using Roboform. It used to take me much longer when I used Gator, but at least for me, Roboform seems to do a much better job of filling out ALL forms.

Before going online, I had only one win in my entire life. Now I win at least a couple of small items, mostly books and CDs, a month. The biggest prizes I have won were all music-related: 100 CDs from a used CD site, a large package of CDs, tapes and videos from an independent artists' site, and a $350 gift card to Tower Records.

You'r welcome,TEAMHOZIE. The only drawback I've found with RoboForm is that it doesn't automatically save passwords like Gator does. But, that really hasn't been a big deal. I just have to remember to tell it I want the passwords saved. I think RoboForm is one of the best free downloads I've seen - at least for my purposes.

Take care,
Arly
