What is up with the instant wins? Nobody seems to be winning!

Thank you!!!! I can't buy a win lately!! I thought it might have something to do with the fact that I'm not playing...wait, maybe it does! But I still think I should be winning something!!!

J/K ~ I have played about 2 or 3 times this week and nada!!! Christmas is usually a really good time, so either there are a lot less prizes and contest OR a lot more sweepers!!!
 
What drives me crazy is some of the sweeps that have thousands of prizes and no winners (few and far between).

I use to win a lot more but, we have a lot more competition than we use to. I am grateful for any/all wins.
 
Maybe you guys are right - I hadn't factored in that a bunch of people are now playing....hmmmm our secret is out! I just stumbled on sweeps by accident a few years ago and I KNOW not as many people were playing then. Maybe since that news clip alot of people have checked out SA.

I just get frustrated when the ones with so many prizes don't let me win!! I can understand on the "one prize a day" one that odds are pretty slim, but the others???? :cussing:

Thanks for sharing in my meltdown!
 
I think with all the talk in the media about sweeping there are just so many people trying for the same prize it's going to be alot more few and far between. In the good old days I would see tons of wins posted each day here on our humble little site. Now ----------- not so much :cry:
 
How do you know that no one has won any?

Just because no one posts that they won, doesn't mean that there haven't been any winners.I've had one a week for the past 3 weeks, but I don't post what they are.
 
How can I know that people are winning if nobody posts??? :)

It's nice when people post even small wins, as it lets the rest of us know which ones are winning, and also it keeps us encouraged.

All you have to do is look at the prizes for the sweepstakes and you will see what people are winning--someone has to win them! :crazytongue:
 
I was venting....shortly after that I won a sports bottle from the Gillette IW...

Congrats! There is nothing wrong with venting. What does bug me is when people win hall of fame prizes and then complain soon after about not winning anything. I still wish them luck though because, I am happy when everyone wins.
 
I can't complain. I've had five instant wins in the past week! :popcorn:

WOW...Congrats...Send me some of that luck!!

Hey, look who popped their head out of their hole!! :crazytongue: Well now, you're just going to have to work your little tail off to make them prizes come to you!! :popcorn: I'll also put in a good word for you with the Man upstairs!! :headbang:

LOL...I need it. Of course, entering the sweeps might help my wins list a little better!!
 
miki - was your comment directed at me??? :cry:

It was but, maybe you took it wrong? Why the crying face? I was telling you congrats on your win and that there is nothing wrong with you venting, we all need to sometimes. What bothers me is when someone wins a prize worth thousands of dollars and then not long after that they complain about not winning prizes. Heck, I haven't won a hall of fame ($5k plus) win since 2005 so I hope people see why that would bother me to see them complaining about not winning another big prize after such a short time of winning a high valued sweep. :love:

You're still in the "other place" mode!! :nono: A Hall of Fame win here is $3,000!! :headbang: Makes it just a little more easier, doesn't it!! :crazytongue:
