I live about an hour north of LaCrosse. We love the Dells! We are planning a "getaway" there with the kiddos soon. :) Nice to "meet" other Wisconites!

I am in Milwaukee too! Good luck on winning that trip to Vegas! I am originally from the Eau Claire Area.
Thanks again and good luck in 2013.
 
Just got back from Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. This win came from a one entry sweeps which I wouldn't have entered if it wasn't for SA. I went with my brother who is a huge football fan. We don't usually hang out together much, so it was a really great weekend for us and our relationship. We had a great time enjoying the weather, partying on Bourbon Street and all the amazing musicians. I love to go back to New Orleans again. The game was also awesome with the crazy power outage and just the excitement of the entire event. Thanks SA!
 
I was notified in September that I was the grand prize winner of Disney Family Movies/ESPN 'Play at the Next Level' sweeps. Four of us took the trip in December. Disney upgraded my hotel from All Star Sports to Animal Kingdom Lodge, threw in tickets to the Mickey Christmas Party, VIP seats for Fantasmic and Magic Kingdom fireworks, and we rode on a float at Animal Kingdoms JingleJangle parade. It was WONDERFUL! They seemed to really enjoy giving me all the extra stuff. Everything was perfect except it rained for 3 days and was cold and windy another day. No problem-I'll take whatever weather I get.
Desparately trying to win another trip now. Disney treated us like royalty.
 
I won the GE lighting grand prize. It was a trip for 3 nights to Hollywood for up to three people. Airfare, beautiful upgraded hotel, car service transfers, and 2 days of VIP universal Hollywood passes worth $5000. Just got back and had an excellent time.
Plus just won the Grand Prize for Tuesday Morning's Travelocity sweeps. Won Lucas 3 piece luggage set (Worth $800) and a $3500 code to use for Travelocity.
 
My husband and I just got back from our trip to NYC that I won last September from the perfect pickle facebook sweepstakes. Everything was perfect. They let us pick what hotel we wanted. We choose to stay at the very nice Marriott Marquis in the heart of times square and even though it was a $499 a night hotel they even threw in a NYC explorer pass and a buffet breakfast each morning. They had a limo pick us up from the airport and another one take us to the airport. We were allowed to pick which airline we wanted and we were given $500 spending cash! It was amazing and I feel so blessed to have been given such a wonderful opportunity! I never would have imagined that winning a trip would include so much, they went way above and beyond!
 
It's great to hear of all these wonderful trips! Congrats to all.

I won a trip in 2011 from Travelocity - took it last fall in 2012. My experience with eprize was awful. It was so bad, I stopped sweeping for a year and a half. Eprize lied to me about several aspects of trip (I'll never understand why), and it was so poorly arranged that we ended up having to buy our own plane tix just to be able to go at all. In the end, although we managed to make the best of it and enjoy our trip, the cost of the plane tix and the income taxes was more than if we had planned the whole trip ourselves. Travelocity has totally lost my support as a customer - and I will likely turn down any trip in the future administered by eprize.

To be fair, this was the 3rd time we had won a trip and the first 2 were awesome experiences. (One was from Air France and the other was from Coca Cola.) Live and learn, I guess.

I haven't won a trip in 12 years! Before that it was 8 years. I couldn't be happier if I'd won the lottery.
 
My husband and I just returned from a trip to NYC that I won in Armitron watch's Mother Day Pinterest contest. I'd never been to the East Coast before and I loved it all! They flew us from San Diego direct to JFK and put us up for two nights at the W Hotel. I received a $250 GC to Lavo restaurant, which we were allowed to split into two meals (the service there was great). We also received a $300 Bliss Spa GC and I got a facial and my husband got a massage. We mastered the subway and were able to ride and walk everywhere in Manhattan, including the 9/11 Memorial, which was beautiful.

So happy for this first trip win. Next year, we go to Europe with a trip I won from Skype! :)
 
I'm a bit late, but, congratulations to you! Trips are fun and can be very entertaining. Google for things to do in town.
 
I am so happy to FINALLY be able to post on this thread ! We won a trip to seaworld (we picked the orlando one) from Coca-Cola Sweepstakes! We have a year to take it and plan to go in the spring time. Best part is its for 4 - which is the size of our family :)

I won a trip to NFL Honors next week in New York. Its the night before the Super Bowl, no tickets to the game but still will be a fun time! But I am trying to win tickets to watch my Seahawks beat the Broncos!!
 
I won a trip to the Super Bowl, tickets included!! Just got back the 5th.

BEST prize I ever won! I saw the Seahawks whoop the Broncos and had a great time
 
I was the grand prize winner of the Coca Cola / Home Depot Win to Brazil promotion. I just got back from the trip portion, which included all flights to Brazil, visa and passport fees, one week in a beach class resort with all transportation provided, A staff of over 10 guides from Cartan Sports Tourism on hand at all times, other than when I was in my room, there was always a friendly face with me everywhere I went. Also tickets and club level access to the Mexico/Croatia and US/Gerrmany matches of the world cup. On non match days there were tours of Olinda, Recife, and Porto De Galinhas. The non trip portions of this prize include over 1000 dollars worth of Makita tools from Home Depot, a Coke Sweepstakes prize pack, and 11,000 dollars to cover taxes, the total of the prize is stated at 33,000
 
Going to Australia in December for a 2 week tour I won from Contiki. They were only going to give me $1200 in flight credit though and make me pay like $1800 in difference (what a scam through their "flight partners"), so I turned down the credit and booked with miles. Ah well, wiped out all my miles, but should be worth it. Also allows me to stop in Tokyo for a few days on the way back. :D

This is my 2nd big win. Won a trip to the Dallas Superbowl a few years ago so it's nice to win something big again!
 
About 10 years ago, I won an all expense paid trip to Atlanta, stayed at the Omni, had a lunch with CNN reporter. Then, this summer I won a trip to San Diego with lots of spending money from Cuddlduds. Didn't spend one penny out of pocket. Then, lo and behold, I won another trip from Southern Living Nest My Style sweepstakes--all expense paid trip to Palmetto Bluff (exclusive resort in South Carolina) with VIP tour of Southern Living Home of the Year. Super fun and again, no money out of pocket. We even had a private driver pick us up just like in the movies.
