Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving to you too, barb133!

It was great to see so many SC Johnson winners on SA, but I know how you feel, also not being one of the lucky ones! Move on and sweep on, right? :)
 
Just a quite whiiiiiine. I've started entering again after a break and nothing yet. I don't find the sweepstakes are as good as they used to be as well. I just need a win to keep me going!
 
Things went downhill for me, win-wise, during the fall (hmmm, coincidental?). November was my worst month (only 3 very wee wins), though so far December has started off on a good note (won a $10 debit card on the Mars Get Charged game a few days ago). I thought that there would be even more sweeps and instant win games available during the holidays (this is my first year sweeping and I've only been doing it since May), but I'm rather surprised how lean things are looking. Is this usual for the holidays? Is it harder to win during this time because a lot more people are playing for prizes to give as gifts?
 
Sponsors are tending towards daily prize thru FB & Twitter rather than IW sweeps, so check ALL categories!

There have been tons of giveaways on Facebook. Some 12 day ones and some 25 days. Many ended today since they began on the 1st of the month, but there are some that started later or don't run them on the weekends, so they are still going on for a few days yet. And some just began so there's plenty of time to enter.
 
I got burned out after not winning anything for months and months and months so I took a couple of years off entering, I started back up a couple of months ago and have won a few small things. I love seeing what everyone else winning-it helps to keep going. I thought I'd post here since I remember the last time I posted and whined a bit, in a few weeks span I won a trip to Hawaii from Blockbusters and $10,000 from Burger King, both instant wins! Good luck everyone :)

Nothing , nada zip!! i have capped out on at least 4 days and entered many other days alot, just give me a little bottle of Coke please......

Welcome back, jefftexas! I wondered what happened to you and I do remember you had some excellent wins in the past. Good luck to you too, looking forward to seeing winning posts! :)
 
I need to whine. I've been entering every day, non stop since August of 2015 after having a long spell of on again off again sweeping... and I've won ONE prize since August! I haven't even won anything little. I'm entering everything from IW to Twitter parties and giveaways to FB to Pinterest to dailies to One Entry, a week or two after they start, and also a week or two before they expire. I'm throwing my name in to the hat for expirings (all types) for practically everything. I'm being a little careful to only enter what I will use or want to win but I'm still entering up to 60-150 a day depending on how long I spend on it. One win since August is really discouraging me. I wonder if it has something to do with switching my email to a Gmail account instead of using Hotmail.

Anyway... Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiineeeee
 
Let it all out!! I have used gmail for years. No issues (and won some cool stuff.) I am a smoking hot or ice cold sweeper. No moderation with my luck. If I find myself in a slump, I back off the sweeping and do other things that I enjoy. My luck seems better if I just accept it and take a break during a dry spell. Best of luck to you! You will find your groove. :D

Ways I deal with the frustration of a dry spell:

1} I get outside of my own head by helping others. Either by voting, answering questions, or just getting a little silly. :crazytongue: :laughing:

2} I avoid the winners circle. It's not that I'm not happy for other members, it's just that I don't need the constant reminder that I'm not one of them - for now. :crazytongue:

3} I hard charge on sweeps, going through all the categories and getting a sense of satisfaction/accomplishment when I get all caught up.

4} I take a break from the computer, since it's gone from being fun to being a chore.

If you keep pushing yourself to enter and things don't change, you will most likely burn out and quit, whereas if you make a decision to take a break for a day or 2, you are still in control.

I *usually* find I return after my mini "vacation" that I'm refreshed and can see things more clearly, so the little things don't get to me, and I enjoy instead of dreading entering my sweeps. :sunny:

Whining worked! I won my first Twitter party in ages yesterday! $75 Visa gift card. Now hoping to keep it going and continue to win! Good luck everyone.
 
wow i felt so good after reading this thread..... so good to hear that im not the only one getting frustrated sometimes this is like non winners anonymous :))
 
Okay been a cold couple of weeks. I have a wonderful end of the year of 2015 and my last grand prize was in March of 2006. The beginning of 2016 not so much!! Feeling like the Sweepstakes Gods have turned their back. WHINNNING!!!!
 
I have been entering for hours and hours every day for months and months! I am just waiting for a big win...feeling frustrated:( Won a few little things but hoping my luck gets better soon!
 
March 2016 marks my 5th anniversary of sweeping almost full time and I have yet to win anything big (and by big I mean 1000 dollars or more). I do daily, one entry, facebook, twitter, locals...still nothing. In the last year, I've only won candy bars and music downloads. That's it. What I really want is a trip to Hawaii or CA (I'll even pay my own airfare!) and/or a makeover for my house (paint or appliances or something.)
 
Entering everyday, hitting the daily, iw, facebook, twitter, pinterest, creative, local, one time. Always checking expiring and new sweeps. Nothing except a couple candy bars and zippo since December. Throwing my Whine in here and hope for my luck to turn soon.
