whiner's wall

2 years this month and no big wins yet. In fact I've never won anything but instants. I'm eternally grateful for any and all wins, but boy it sure would be nice to win something big.
 
I have had a slow dry spell won a few books but that is about it. I'm needing to win big for my family and others in need for Christmas. This has been a difficult year with the economy and my paycheck pays the house and that's about it, been trying all yr. by entering all the sweeps day and night. Would be so grateful if I finally won a cash sweeps:) THankful to God still for the sweeps that we all have won this year, and to SA. Thanks so much!!
 
I feel the need to whine right now.
I am very thankful for the items I have won this year, I couldn't do it without your help SA and friends!

I am disappointed about being DQ'd from a $1600 cash prize this week. :hammer:
I took a week off to visit family and all I could think about were the sweeps I was missing :cry:
Since getting back it's only been bad news and no wins.

Good luck to everyone & Hope I get good news soon. :sunny:
 
I hope it helps everyone to whine and to bring them good luck. I get so down when I don't win and feel like I'm putting in so much effort and not getting the return. I can't quit though but wonder when is my time? Why am I not having wins coming in? Even little ones although big ones would be better. I am truly happy for everyone who wins and I wonder how people have these 3 or 4 wins in one day. I would love that for myself. I can't put anymore time into sweeping, it's already apart time 30 plus hour a week job for me. I'm depressed and hoping and wanting some wins to brighten my spirit and day and holidays. I just need to keep on and hopefully get some encouragement and good news and wins!

Ah, what you could try travelport? Taking a break. Or at least cutting down - the fastest path to complete burnout is to keep at it when your return is so small, if at all.

I'd do the break for a few days, then slowly get back into it - maybe go through and weed out some you aren't completely crazy for, then change up the order/time of day you enter.

I got caught up recently in the forums - so much so I missed entering for a few days, then I got some good wins! I don't allow myself to get into a rut - some days I enter IW's last, or first, but I try not to do them the same way every day - it has the added bonus of not being boring that way!

If you can, take some "me" time - read a book, take a bath - anything to stop feeling like this hobby is a job!!! :sunny:
 
Ok here is my whine. Here is to hoping it gets me a win of some kind :)

Haven't won anything in a few weeks. No emails, no IW's. Nota. I have even been trying to play at different times to try and mix things up a bit. boooooooo. I'd love to have a surprise just show up at my door.
I'd be happy with any little win.

K Thanks for listening to my whine. Hope everyone else sees some wins too! :crazytongue:
 
why is eveyone winning except me I cant stand reading the winners circle makes me want to scream. I got 1 measly email and it was for a book in months . I may as well get my gripes in. I havent even been getting any instant wins except for things like lip balm. Is it really worth it. Phew glad I got that out all the dailys day after day and no wins. oh well what can I do but whine. thanks for letting me vent

i get whiney over "wins" that are just coupons...like the Lee Jeans IW game. A 20% off coup is not a win!! :laughing:

I agree it's not a win, but if it doesn't count as a win per the rules, it means you can still keep playing!!!

It ain't over 'til it's over, and on some sweeps, it's not over even then, since they sometimes have 2nd chance draws - that's how I won a laptop; I lost on the IW for months, then got an email I won on the 2nd chance!!!
 
I was thinking about whining, then I remembered, I haven't entered a single sweeps in over 2 weeks. Out of town for T'giving week with no computer, then really busy with work. I'm always happy to hear of others' wins, but, boy, does it chap me for someone to say, "I've been sweeping for a whole month and have only won 2 things." I still remember my first win. It was a record album of a group I'd never heard of way back in 1970 or '71. I was in high school. Right after that, I won an Oster hand mixer from a radio contest. That was in '71 and that thing still works great! Over the years, I have won 3 really good trips. The last one, though, was 10 years ago for 5 people, 5 nights in Miami Beach. I think the only cash win I've ever gotten was $100 from Kraft. Oh, yeah, a $400 Visa GC from Goody hair products. But, it's been YEARS!!
 
I've been trying desperately. I REALLY want to win something already. It's been a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time since I've won something and it's really starting to get me down. I need these tables to turn. I want to be able to say I've got a big win. :cry:
 
It is my turn :cry: I haven't won a prize in a while and then I realized I am not a loser just an unlucky lazy sweeper. When I am consitent I win, when I am nilly willy, just entering the instants and spending all my time on FB looking for sweeps, not many wins. just wish I was one of those lucky people that just enter and they win alot. Even if I was the only entry they would find a way to give the prize to someone else.

Happy Sweeping

I can't seem to win lately...I'm feeling very down and discouraged. I look everyday for the mailman, the fed ex truck, anyone? but no one comes and the phone doesn't ring with a win. I'm entering massive numbers of sweeps and spending enough hours a week to make it a part time job. A while back over the summer I was having some wins, gift cards here and there, a trip to Phx, and it kept me going but this fall NOTHING! not even a bag of skittles...I would put this on the whiners wall but I can't find how to post there, I have a link to it but can't post. I must be doing something wrong or be having bad luck. I need some positive mojo coming my way. I really want to keep sweeping but I'm getting depressed. Come on, throw me bone and help me win one sweeps goddess!

Hang in there! How about Robitussin!? A lot of us have won that IW! :)
 
I have entered that Robitussin every day for almost 2 months and never won a thing. So I am taking that as a sign tat I'll win something big later on. I'll keep entering, it doesn't take long anyway.
As for not winning - i entered everything for 3 weeks until I suddenly won 3 things in a row. Then nothing for a week and then one win and now it has been another 3 weeks of nothing.
Just keep entering, your luck will turn. Maybe you'll win that big 50.000$ from that magazine.
I'm crossing my toes for ya" (I need my fingers for typing...)
