“Unusual” is one of those loaded words like “interesting” that might mean “really cool” or “really weird but I'm trying to be diplomatic”. Over the years, I have won a few unusual prizes, some good, some bad. The candy grabber machine? Big hit, the kids loved it. Axe Pit-Man? Not so much. If this was before your time, a few years ago, Axe deodorant gave away a figure that was kind of like one of the troll dolls…except it was a armpit. Really. Actually, the kids liked that too, just because it was so odd.
Last Halloween, I believe someone in the SweepsAdvantage community scored one of those unusual prizes from a horror website. As I recall, it was a life-sized, realistic tortured dead guy model. Um…okay. If you're one of those people who put together an impressive, scary yard display, this was probably an awesome prize. However, I'm picturing a bewildered sweeper standing over that delivery box thinking, “Great…the one time I wanted the iTunes runner up prize.”
Of course, some of those unusual prizes are the enviable, one of a kind kind. Any sweepstakes that offers a trip along with a meet and greet for a favorite celebrity has got to be pretty exciting for the winner. I imagine the new Kraft Lunchables Celebrity Field Trip Instant Win will make the lucky winner a very happy child.
I don't know what I would have done with a prop body, and I don't pine to meet Dwight Howard, Cody Simpson, or Jennette McCurdy. However, for someone out there, these are awesome sweepstakes wins.
I love your story it is so true but you know what at this moment I cannot think of one prize that I’ve received that I didn’t want or knew someone who could use the object. I’ve been into sweepstakes since 1983 and have won two automobiles (the biggest) and the latest was thw Givenchy Clutch worth $1,305. Now I’d like to win a trip to Nashville which I would keep and use myself. I hope you get alot of answers to your post as I never tire of readong others stories.
Listen there is unclaimed prizes on the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes & I would like to know if ever I could find out if I can be eligible for 1 of those prizes. I would also like to know, that if I am a winner, how will I be notified. Or how can I claim it if I am a winner. Thankyou
