Not exactly a win, but I was able to purchase one of 22,000 Olive Garden pasta passes that went on sale at 2:00 pm. I pressed the "purchase" button as soon as it became available and was placed in a waiting area in case one of the 22,000 people before me didn't complete their purchase. Luckily...

This morning I was out walking my dog. I saw two worn pennies on the ground. I looked at them and noticed one was head side up; the other was tail side up. Recalling a Las Vegas learned superstition I picked up the heads side up penny and left the other. When I returned home I found I had...

I received a letter via regular mail from Quicken loans yesterday containing two tickets to the Nascar race in Dover, Delaware on September 28th and congratulating me again on the win. I must have missed the initial congratulations. I put the tickets up for sale on StubHub, a service I have...

I just had to turn down a local grand prize of a trip to the Teen Choice Awards in LA this weekend (ARV of $1,750). We had already made some plans with family members that would have created too many bad feelings in canceling over the thrill of accepting the prize. At church yesterday I prayed...

I just received email notification that I am a potential winner in a Woman's Word contest -the Samsung Summer Gear contest. The prize includes a Samsung phone and some hi-tech watch. ARV of $1,000. This is one of the multi-portal contests (Woman's World, In Touch, Life & Style, etc) that have...

I just received an email that I was a first prize winner in a Dr. Pepper sweeps, winning an autographed CD. This contest had a trip to Las Vegas as the grand prize- a prize I was really hoping to win. Maybe next time... Good luck all!!

I received my Zombie Hunting Permit from 4 Wheel Drive Hardware! With a NO BAG LIMIT! Wow!!

From a personal and sweeping perspective, 2013 has been a very bad year. I'm looking forward to changing the calendar to 2014. Today I received a letter from Fedex telling me I have been selected as the potential grand prize winner of the "Ultimate LEGOLAND California Resort Family Spring...

I was notified by Urban Sherp that I was the winner of the $100 Zappo gift card. Thanks SA! And good luck all!

I just got an email from Lucky Magazine that I am one of the winners in their April Garnier sweeps. I looked up the sweeps and its a supply of 14 different Garnier Fructis hair products worth $71. There are 286 winners so I'm expecting some other SAers will be getting the same email. I've one...

A while back I was notified I was the grand prize winner in a "Seat with Sheet" contest sponsored by Stratos boats. The trip was for one person for one night to fish with fisherman Skeet Reese at a lake in an undisclosed location. I'm a non-fisherman but based on coaxing from my kids I...

I was notified by email last night that I was Grand Prize winner in the "Seat with Skeet" contest. The prize consists of travel for one person, one night in a hotel room, fishing with Skeet Reese, and one day of meals. The prize has an ARV of $3,500, which I find hard to believe. Can anyone...

I just finished faxing back documents as the potential Grand Prize Winner of the $5,000 Pick your Prize sweeps sponsored by Time-Life that ended on 10/31/12. I picked the $5,000 cash option. My biggest win ever going back to the day after Al Gore invented the internet. It's been a very lean two...

I had a large FedEx package at the door yesterday. An Excalibur Food Dehydrator. It apparently came directly from the manufacturer, no note or indication from which contest it came. On a list of appliances I need, a food dehydrator is about number 201. But it once again proved to my wife that...
