Sweeties Secret Sweeps – Win more CASH and Prizes with Sweepstakes for your State!
Want to win more – we all do. Your best chance of winning a prize outside of entering national instant win games or sweepstakes with thousands of prizes is to enter local, more focused sweepstakes. Entering local sweepstakes will cut down on the competition because less people will enter if the sweepstakes is restricted to a certain state or even a group of states.
Introducing Sweeties Secret Sweeps!
Located at www.sweetiessecretsweeps.com At the current time this new site will only provide sweepstakes that are open in the U.S.
What is this secret site all about?
If you have been reading my site for awhile you know that entering restricted sweepstakes and local giveaways gives you an advantage for winning because you have less competition. This site focuses primarily on restricted sweepstakes based on certain states or areas with states. It will also be a place where I post sweepstakes that are not so highly advertised on lots of other sweepstakes sites and therefore have better odds for winning.
What you will find the this site is pure sweepstakes, no teaching and nothing pretty. Sweepstakes are posted in the forum in a list format. You will find sweepstakes for your state in either the category for your state or in the Multi-state category.
SSS Objective
My main site, Sweeties Sweeps, is where I posts lots of sweepstakes that are open to just about everyone, some winnable and some not so winnable. This is also where I do my teaching and give help tips for winning. I also post some restricted sweepstakes as well. But, most of these sweepstakes can easily be found on other sweepstakes site. The objective of the secreit site is to scour the web and also enlist the help of readers to find local giveaways that are not so publicized.
Can You Guarantee That I Will be a Winner?
Absolutely not! I cannot guarantee you will win whether you enter a sweepstakes from the main site or from the secret site. There are many factors involved in winning. First and foremost, you have to be willing to put in the time and effort to enter. I cannot do the work for you.
Second, I cannot guarantee there will be hundreds of sweepstakes for your state. Every state is different and while I search for sweepstakes for every state pretty evenly some states just do not have as many as others.
Third, it requires patience to win from entering sweepstakes. Maybe your state won’t have so many sweepstakes this week but will have more 2 weeks from now. All it takes is one sweepstakes to become a big winner. You just have to wait for the right sweepstakes to enter that will make you a winner.
Is my state included?
When I search for restricted sweepstakes I spend time on a group of states each day. The next day I pick a new group of states to focus on. That way the sweepstakes posted are evenly spaced out and that way all states are included at some point.
However, some states just are not as lucky as others to have so many sweepstakes. This is not because we are not searching for them. This is because there just aren’t that many listed for certain states.
But, ALL states are represented at some point. This includes Alaska and Hawaii.
Long Term Participation
Entering sweepstakes is a long-term hobby whether you are entering national or local sweepstakes. You don’t always win right away and on the secret site the focus is on quality and not quantity. If you want a quantity of sweepstakes to enter then you get them by entering all of the national sweepstakes out there.
Entering restricted, local sweepstakes is more about entering a smaller amount over the course of the year and winning more prizes than if you entered triple the amount of national sweepstakes. If you read some of the winner stories you will see that is true. You can easily recoup your $25 entrance fee each year by winning one prize. Some are blowing past the entrance fee within the first month.
Member Testimonials
What you receive as far as sweepstakes is never guaranteed and I do not guarantee you will win but I can tell you that many readers are winning way more than the $25 it cost them to join. Just read these testimonials from readers in their own words.

I just got an affidavit saying that I won the Grand Prize in the Ravenswood Winery Giveaway! I’ve only been sweeping since early this summer and I’ve never won anything “big” before. I can’t believe it! Thank you so much for posting these sweepstakes for us, Sweetie. I was hesitant about spending the money to sign up with this site, but I love the main Sweeties Sweeps site so I decided to give it a try. This is a pretty good return on my $25, I think!

Hi Sweetie,
I can’t believe I have another big win to report, but here it is. Earlier this month I won $1,000 through the Ravenswood Winery sweep on your Secret Sweeps site, and I was notified a week later that I won a KLX140 dirt bike in the Kawasaki/ Monster Energy sweepstakes you posted months ago! The ARV is $3,000! I about fell over. My husband is overjoyed.
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all the work you put into this site and your Secret site. Money is tight for us right now and we’re trying to save enough to move back home, so these wins come at the perfect time. I’ve only been playing along since June and had never won anything worth more than $80.
Anyway, thank you so much, and please keep putting the good sweepstakes out there for us!

Whoohoo danced around the house today. I won a $100.00 gift card for the grocery. It was a surprise in the mail. Already went and stocked up the bare cabinets. Its my second win on the secret site. Thank you Sweetie and all the sweepers.

Yay! I won a 46″ LCD TV and a $750 AMEX gift card. This is my first big win…I’ve been sweeping since August and so far had only won two $25 prizes and a cooler. This was from a Georgia only sweepstakes. I am currently unemployed so this money is a HUGE blessing, and we are going to sell our other TV to put some $ in the bank as well.
I was so excited when the rep called that I had to put the baby in his crib so I wouldn’t drop him, LOL…

Since joining SSS, I have been searching for local sweeps, especially local radio station giveaways. In 3 months I’ve won:
- $25 Wendy’s gift card
- $75 Made in Oregon store gift card
- $50 Mrs. Meyer’s cleaning products gift card
- I also won a 8GB iPod from Coors Lite Bold & Cold listed on this site.
I am so excited about these prizes! They will be used for Christmas presents and make the holidays a little less stressful!
Thank you Sweetie for all your hard work in finding sweeps. You’ve changed my life!

I have been playing the Ice Mountain® Brand Natural Spring Water Back to School Instant Win daily since September, yesterday I got this message; You’ve won Second Prize in the Ice Mountain® Brand Natural Spring Water Back to School Instant Win Game! Your prize includes: One (1) NAMCO BANDAI Active Life™: Extreme Challenge video game for the Wii™ home video game system, One (1) floor mat video game controller
Once again persistence pays off. Also since the last time I wrote I have also won:
- Movie tickets from Coke
- A soy candle from Glade
- Salad from Dole
I have recently joined Secret Sweeps (crossinmama6) and it’s a great site, I used money that I have won to pay for it. I have also recommend your site to many friends and told them that if they win anything they should join the Secret site. It is worth the money.
Thanks again for the help,
Karen
The Cost Involved to Join
Because of the work and time it takes in finding and posting these restricted sweepstakes and local giveaways this site will not be free or open to the public. That is why it is called Secret. Sweeties Sweeps will always be free, paid by sponsors ads. This new site will never have an ad on it so therefore you get pure sweepstakes with no clutter to weed through.
The cost is $25.00 a year to join
Because this site is private it will be asked of all members not to share what they read outside of the site. This will be strictly enforced to protect the integrity of the site and make the content valuable to it’s members. You can share conversations within the chatroom but not actual links to any sweepstakes entry forms or rules pages.
Email Wendy at sweetiessecretsweeps@gmail.com if you have questions
NOTICE: Once you pay you will get an email from us with your login information. Until your account is setup you cannot log in. You should get that information the same day you sign up. However, we do set up these accounts manually so you will not get your account information instantly when you pay. Please allow up to 24 hours for your account information to be emailed to you.
Refunds:
There are no refunds given and the fee is only $25 for an entire year, the cost of one dinner out. You will most likely win enough prizes and more to pay this back over the course of the year but this is never guaranteed. Many readers have won thousands of dollars in prizes so the small registration fee is definitely worth it for what you get back.
When you click the Buy Now button you will be taken to the PayPal site.
You do not have to have a PayPal account to pay.
Just look for the link to pay with a credit card.
Screenshot
Here is a screenshot of what the site looks like on a post page (click on the screenshot pic to view it larger). There are no ads on the site – just pure sweepstakes information.

Where are sweepstakes posted on the Secret site?
As of October 2009 the sweepstakes are posted in the Forum. The new format is easier for us to maintain and members are free to post what they find and we encourage general posts, freebie posts, instant wins, and also please share what you have won. The forum is located at www.sweetiessecretsweeps.com/forum but you cannot participate or read what is listed unless you are a paying member.

How can we sign up for the giveaway for the free membership?
Thanks
Eliza
Go here to sign up for the giveaway http://sweetiessweeps.com/2009/07/sweeties-secret-sweeps-giveaway-ends.html
How can we see the set up of the site? All I see on the site is the option to register and I dont want to pay for a subscription without being able to view it. Can you offer a print screen or a mock version? Or will it look the same as on your blog site?
I currently am using bestsweepstakes.com which is an ok site listing lots of sweeps organized so that it is quick and easy to read, however the set up and the way to search for sweeps could be much better to cut down on time. And they give no tips which is what I like so much about your site. Plus your positive energy is very motivating. So I am definatly willing to join your site instead if it offers the ability to sort, search, and save sweeps in a convienient way.
thanks
Kristine
Kristine,
That is a good idea. I think I should do a screenshot and also give a few examples. I will work on that today and post it on this site.
Wendy
Most of the people sweeping are doing it to make ends meet! or to have things they cannot afford. I don't think people will pay or should pay for sweeptakes that will be listed for free elsewhere. Just my thought! I don't believe in secret sweeps sorry.
I agree also I don't believe in secret sweeps. I enter sweeps that way I could get things I cant afford with a family of six its very hard I don't think we should have to pay.
I totally understand but it takes work to post all of what you see on this site and also on the other site. The cost is to help pay for our time and labor to find these restricted sweeps. If they were easy to find then everyone would already know about them. And, the cost is not very much. There are other sweeps site out there you may not know about that charge more than that each year and have been for 10 years or more.
I agree with the other posters; it is not something I would pay for. Things are tight and although it's *only* $25, that's money needed elsewhere right now. Also, I am concerned about this site–are you going to keep posting new sweeps here, or will this site go downhill? Can't you make money from ad revenue from everyone's visits or something?
I'm with all of them, I can win food , but cannot win money to pay for this, I've referred so many people to this site, I like it free for now! Thanks.
I found SS and started sweeping, then I found other sites. Those sites had some of the same promotions/giveaways. I only really do SS now so I use my time entering instead of looking in vain. I'd like the $25 a year(I think of it as $2/month + $1 to grow on)if it really does have more restricted events. Naturally I entered to win it, but how do you purchase a subscription?
Sweeties Sweeps will continue to be free and I will continue to update it as I always have. I haven't stopped posting sweepstakes here and I have been also updating my new site daily for a month and I don't think anyone has noticed the content level going down on this site.
I understand that some folks can't afford to pay for the new site or don't want to pay. I will be doing giveaways occasionally to give memberships away but I won't be taking away the fee. That site will always cost to join.
is there going to be much offers for southern state or is it mostly northern states
I'm from a southern state (Florida) and I'm happy, if that answers your question, anon.
There are going to be a lot of sweeps for ALL states. Once I get a good rhythm of posting I hope to focus on a different state each day so that everyone has a good selection to choose from.
Hi,
It sounds exciting… where do we join?
I just signed up for the secret sweeps tonight and I am so excited. I really enjoy your other sites and feel that the secret sweeps is kinda like putting icing on the cake. I used to have a job where I endlessly searched the internet. Sweetie, I know that is a very demanding job. We should all be thankfull for her free site and all the information she has provided. Great Job Sweetie!
Well, I've won some cool stuff just from this site. The value is over $25…so I'm bugeting. If it can help me save time–I can spend more of the littel free time I have entering things I'm more likely to win–then it's worth it! FYI- you can win $$$ you just have to know which contests…try the Honey Nut Cheerios one Sweetie told us about on this, the free, site. Win it 5 times and there is your annual membership fee-lol
Do you have many for CA?
I have also wondered if you have sweeps specific to California?
Yes, there are specific sweeps for California. Right now there are 24 posted. I haven't checked to see if any have expired. I try to post sweeps for each state at least a couple times a week.
thank you for all your hard work on the sites. I am sure that sometimes people can forget all of your hard work. I like SSS .
Hi Sweetie,
I just signed up for this secrets sweeps however I haven't figured out how to access it. Please advise. Thank you
thanks for creating this site. as soon as I start winning something I'm going to sign up for your secret sweeps site.
When we sign up are we restricted to just our state or do we see everything avail for everyone? Just wondering we do alot of time up north as well thinking I could pick up some perks up there.
You see what is available to all states.
Are there any available to New England states? I feel like in the general site I find quite a few that exclude my region. If I sign up for the secret site, I just want to make sure that there will be sweeps that I will even be eligible for.
Absolutely! New England has one of the highest amounts of restricted sweeps. I live in Connecticut
The worst states for restricted are places like Kansas, Nevada, Iowa – midwest
I have not noticed many New England resticted sweeps listed. Maybe its the new site change. still hoping though.
I am not sure where you are looking but I just posted 6 New England sweeps this past week. Like I said, New England has one of the largest pools of restricted sweeps I have seen. YOu must be a member and have to log in at http://www.sweetiessecretsweeps.com. The sweepstakes are posted on the Forum now and not on that main site. That is located at http://www.sweetiessecretsweeps.com/forum
Yes i was looking in the wrong area! Right as usual Sweetie!
I am in Michigan, are there many for my state? I did see where you said the midwest did not have many.
Michigan is okay. It's states like Kansas, Kentucky, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana that are hard to find.
Are there many sweeps for Texas?
Yes, there are sweeps for TX.
Thanks so much for your great website. I have been using other sweeps sites for the last 4 months & came across yours just last week. I took a tip from your site & won $500.00 Visa card from Mars. I have also joined your secret sweeps site just now & am looking forward to using it. thanks again
I just joined the secret sweeps site, I asked about the sweeps in TX the other day and I look forward to using the site as well.
Are there sweeps in IL.
Yes, there are definitely sweeps for IL.
I have to say that your website is the truth!
I won a $25 dollar giftcard from Your very own sweeties sweepstake and also a $10 giftcard from home depot from Wendy’s ! Both were given as christmas gifts this past Christmas!
I want to join but I don’t think there are many sweepstakes for Arizona.
