A small win, but a nice surprise in my mailbox. A book by author Emma Castle.

My first win in over a year! i've been stuck at home recovering from a stroke and decided to spend some free time entering sweepdtakes, which I used to do a lot but haven't had time to do lately. My first prize came today. It is a black leather basket filled with beauty products. I can see a...

Finally! Been posting on the "whiner's wall" for the last year that I haven't won anything for ages. It was more than a year! Went away to a friend's wedding last weekend (which I couldn't afford but I just had to be there; tried to win a trip there but didn't :cry: ). Got home to find out I...

Hi, I haven't won anything for ages but I received the DVD "Paul" in the mail yesterday. Return address was Barclay Communications but didn't mention the sweep. I think it was from mediamikes.com as they were giving this away in a sweep that ended on Monday. If that was it I'm impressed by how...

I was just about to post a very whiny message on the whiner's wall, as I haven't won anything in months; it's been so long that I can't remember when I last won something. And then I found a package waiting when I got home! I won some headphones from Mtn Dew. Supposedly a $95 value (who'd pay...

Finally - my first win in many months! I had a FedEx box waiting for me yesterday. No ID or letter, but I think it was from one of my fashion magazines, maybe Elle. The prize was a bottle of Philosophy 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in a lovely shade of pale purple (retail $22). I...

I got a tiny padded envelope in my mail yesterday. Couldn't imagine what was in it but I at least managed to wait until I got in out of the rain and upstairs to my apartment to open it! In the envelope was a necklace from the Teleflora Rubies and Roses sweepstakes. It's not a real ruby and...

I won a prize two weeks ago but didn't post it because I've had several wins that never arrived over the last few months. But there was a package waiting when I got home yesterday, so I really did win something this time! The package contained a 10-dvd set called "The Documentary Awards...

Got an email stating I'd won a copy of "Read All About It" by Laura and Jenna Bush from Harper Collins. It's not a big win, but it's the first win of any kind for me in many months, so I'm happy. And it's appropriate, as I collect children's books! :sunny:

Got a Charlie Bartlett DVD in the mail yesterday - no return address, no note, etc. :scratch: I did enter several sweeps for this one, but I don't know where this one came from. Not complaining, though, as DVD's don't usually fall within my budget and I've been wanting to see this one. The...

I was getting discouraged by the lack of wins; the only thing I've received for months was a SXSW t-shirt I won in January. It arrived last month. But then I got a call from a local radio station saying I had won a $25 gift certificate to Twigs Cafe at Tower Hill Botanical Gardens (a local...

Hi, I have noticed a problem for the past week or so. After entering a sweepstakes, I check the "sweeps check entry date" and click the "add to my sweepstakes" link. Then I check "save my sweepstakes," yet nothing is saved even though I am logged in correctly. I've been using this feature for...

Usually, people laugh at me for saying Mountain Dew cures my headaches. I know it's the massive amount of caffeine that does it, but Mountain Dew tastes better than some of the other things with that much caffeine in them. Lately, I've had lots of headaches and therefore have been drinking lots...

I opened my mailbox yesterday to find a large envelope from Bloomsbury Books. In it was a copy of "Tallulah Falls," a young adult novel. A nice surprise win for me, as I collect children's and YA books. My oldest niece probably will read it after me, so in a way it was a double win! :)

I've been pretty discouraged, as I won a small prize last winter but nothing since. I had a message on my machine when I got home last night; my landlord said he signed for a package for me. The box held a Panasonic DVD recorder from the Mountain Dew "Transform Your Summer" sweepstakes...
