This is the second time I have received this email. I ignored the first one several months ago. I don't remember entering anything at Cookstr or My Daily Moment. What do you all think?

First I Googled cookstr and there is such a company. Then I Googled cookstr-sweepstakes and there are some closed sweepstakes, so it's possible that the email is legitimate. Since you've already opened their email, you may as well email them and find out what you've won. Cookstr is a cookbook / recipe website and they also have a Facebook page.
 
sherilee - cookstr has never been listed at SA that I can find & this raises a red flag "entered to qualify for a $1,000 Giveaway"
 
I'm going to have to agree, if you are receiving the *same* email months later, chances are it's phishing of some sort. Since most contest winners, in my experience (new to sweeping, not to contests) usually only allow up to a week before moving on to the next winner.

Just be careful!
