I've entered sweepstakes on and off since around 2005. All of my "big" wins have been trips. Vegas, LA, NYC, Bahamas twice, Miami twice (This yea) Mexico, Jamaica. etc. Here's my advice. Or at least this is what I feel works for me. I don't have a lot of time. So I never enter daily sweeps that...

Received a box from UPS today out of the blue consisting of Totino's grand prize Nintendo Switch system, two games and an aux control device, valued at $579.95. This was ANOTHER mail-in (AMOE) sweep. They're out there, folks. I know stamps are expensive and it takes time to write out envelopes...

Well done. That certainly is an exciting prize! Congrats to you!

Received this in my email today. This was, once again, a snail-mail sweep. Some of you know I'm a big Snail-mailer. Grand prize and $100 giftcards are still available. With purchase OR by mail. YOU’RE A WINNER, CONGRATULATIONS! Thank you for...

Received the following in a Priority Mail envelope today. So keep your eyes open! Congratulations! You are a winner in the Nature Valley Adventure Quarters at Kroger Sweepstakes sponsored by General Mills Inc. Enclosed is your prize, a national park pass, ARV $88.

Oh, good grief. Back in the "old days" when I was on a now-defunct sweeps site, we literally had the infamous "Crappy prize shelf" in my living room. My young son at the time thought that was the funniest thing ever. Remember the "Gold fish cracker" wallets? I think everyone in America won one...

Thank you for your well wishes! I always enjoy answering any question about Mail-in sweeps! Lol. So here's my policy. I ALWAYS hand-write EVERYTHING. Some allow labels for return addresses, some don't require them at all and, of course, some require hand-written. I make it VERY easy for myself...

It's my absolute pleasure! Thank you for providing such a positive and fun place to find sweeps!

A very good topic you bring up. I've been focused on Snail-mail sweeps for many years and I'll share with you some things I've found. You always want to follow the rules to the letter....UNLESS they ask for a 3X5 "postcard." Different fulfillment companies use "postcard" in different ways. Any...

Hi there. I have currently have six core mail-in sweeps I'm doing. One each per day. I usually mail 6-8 entries per day during the week. Saturday I send those plus the "One per household" entries, weekly and monthly. Saturday I send typically all together maybe 20-25 entries. Yeah, I hear you...

Hi there. Sorry for the delay in my response. So you've brought up a really great question! "Why do the sponsors offer the 3x5 cards entry method if they don't like it?" Federal law requires any "Sweepstakes" or "Contest" that has an entry requiring a purchase to provide an "Alternative method...

Received this email today. Hi <redacted for privacy>, Congratulations! You have been picked as a VIP Trip Prize Winner in the Monster Baja Beach Fest Instant Win Sweepstakes. You are the potential winner of the following prize, pending meeting eligibility requirements AND receiving your...

That's a great win! Congrats!

"Congratulations, you have been selected as a winner in the Pepsi Dig In Passport Sweepstakes. You have won a $100 EatOkra gift code. The First Prize has an approximate retail value of $100." This was a "buy and enter your receipt" sweep with AMOE mail-in alternative. Looking deeper into the...

Miami is AMAZING! We won a weekend trip there this month from Fandiem (Didn't find that on this site so I didn't post it here) and the vibe is so energetic down there! Also, if you ever go, try the Cuban coffee. Prepare for your eyeballs to pop out, trust me!
