Well, I won a GP my 1st year - but there were a bunch of them & they were worth less than $40!

It took me 6 years to finally win a big GP, and I'm resigned to that being my "track"

See, we have had people post they averaged 1 or more GP's {usually trip wins} per year {their "track"}, and around June, they'd get testy if they hadn't won yet!

Yeah, I so hear you on that - all I can "win" this year are coupons & freebies - I'm hoping I've won a good one, I just haven't yet been informed, lol!!!

Lots of times don't even want to win the grand prize. Taxes high on those trips, etc. I'm happy with the 2nd or even 3rd prize. It is nice win I can win a g/c and do my own shopping (Amazon, Gas Card, or Grocery Store Cards). But even enjoy my smaller wins (books ect)> That keeps my delivery guys busy. Now must admit I also like to win the tickets (pair of 6 Flags, Ball Games, ect). Those get to share with family and friends.
Guess all of us has our own way of sweeping. Just have fun and enjoy your wins!!

snoopysnop1 - I avoid trip promos too, unless the lower tier prizes are numerous and good, like gc;s!

The GP I won was from a promo with LOTS of good prizes:

I FINALLY did it - I won the GP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

I was notified on 1/12, returned the affy & got a letter a week later stating I'd get my check in 4 - 6 weeks BUT it just came!!!

I have been sweeping on and off for years. When I started, I couldn't enter all of them because I was too young! Now, I'm technically middle aged (gulp) and still don't win anything big. The biggest prize I have won was like a weekend getaway, which was really just 2 nights hotel and a bus pas. I may win a $100 gift card once a year. So I feel your pain!
