Okay - my friend (the one who won the Allure sweeps - grand prize - trip to New York and a 3 day stay at the Astoria Waldorf), just called and she won the grand prize in the "Dating Brad Garrett Perfect Match" sweeps.

I'm so happy for her. The funny thing is she doesn't enter sweeps nearly as often as I do (she does it kind of haphazardly, really!) and she keeps winning these prizes! I enter constantly (all day) and lately, nada.

So, ya just never know.

Here's what she won:

One (1) Grand Prize Winner (”GPW”) will receive: One (1) roundtrip, coach-class air transportation for GPW and one (1) guest from a major airport near GPW’s home (determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) to San Jose, CA (approximate retail value ["ARV"] One Thousand and No/100ths Dollars [$1,000.00]; roundtrip ground transportation from San Jose International Airport to the Hotel Los Gatos (ARV One Hundred Forty and No/100ths Dollars [$140.00]; two (2) hotel accommodations in a one (1) bedroom suite (double occupancy), room and tax only stay at the Hotel Los Gatos (ARV Seven Hundred Thirty-Eight and No/100ths Dollars [$738.00]; spa treatments for two (2) at Spa Elia including the Mediterranean Inspired Warm Poultice Massage, VinoTherapy Facial Treatment and Signature Mediterranean Pedicure (ARV Six Hundred Eighty and No/100ths Dollars [$680.00]; spa gift basket (ARV Two Hundred Forty-Two and No/100ths Dollars [$242.00]; one (1) e-gift certificate (”e-GC”) redeemable at Makeup.com [ARV Two Hundred Fifty and No/100ths Dollars [$250.00]; and one (1) Guy and Eva e-GC (ARV Two Hundred and No/100ths Dollars [$200.00]. The ARV of the GP is Three Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and No/100ths Dollars ($3,250.00).


She won't need to fly, as San Jose is only about an hour away from her house. Pretty cool, huh?
 
I think it is you that are lucky for her!!! You are her lucky charm dear, and don't let her forget it!
 
What the heck........ like you said we spend so much time entering and NADA........

Oh well, congrats to your friend.... she better be entering for the HGTV 2009 dream home giveaway if she's this lucky...
 
Boy do I get you. My husband enters less than 5 minutes a day (starting in Oct 08) and he won a grand prize trip in December - from an instant. I have never won a multiple entry prize greater than $25 value and I enter at least 1.5 hours a day and have been at this for more than 3 years.

Luck is a fickle mistress!


--- Congrats to your friend!
 
My SIL has been entering since the late 80s and has never won over $3000. My first month of sweeping I won a tv, a bunch of GC and a trip (which I had to turn down). oh and my Mom's KY basket.

Everything has been in Michael's name. His nickname is "Lucky Louie" for good reason. :sunny:

Isn't the Allure a OTO contest? I really think if contests were one time only and one per household, tehy were do better at the marketing aspect and give everyone a really fair chance.
 
OMG, I almost flipped my chair over at the LOGO comment, so true - us women are very complicated creatures.
 
:sunny: A perfect example of "you just never know". Your friend seem to be very lucky so far, but we all know how that goes. Congratulations to her on a wonderful win!
 
Good for her! She sounds like she's very lucky. Maybe some of her luck will rub off on you!
