Sweeps Rating: Sweeties Pick/Winnable – over 2 million prizes; you can win by buying the candy or sending away for a codes; you get another chance to win from the second chance sweepstakes which is probably more winnable than the original game; almost everyone who enters should win. Personally, I am saving my entries for the second chance drawing because I have a feeling that most people won’t want to spend a stamp to get a code that might or might not win instantly.

There are at least 126 $100 winners who have claimed their prize and 2 $250 winners. So I think we still have a great chance of winning a little money or a lot of candy.
I think the second chance sweepstakes are only for the grand, first,and second prize, not the candy. So I hope we all win a gift card.
Sweetie, on average, how many entries to do you send in on sweeps like this? Just wondering for future reference. Also, how many do you expect to win? TIA
I only send about 10 to most sweepstakes I enter, including this one. I space out my entries over time. I expect to win everything I enter by that never happens 🙂 So, you can't tell for sure if you will win. You just have to enter and move onto the next one.
Has anyone heard from Starburst?
I haven't heard anything yet…I sent in about 15 entries for the second chance sweeps
They weren't having the drawing till the 21st, think it's still to early yet to hear anything.
Any winners?
I'm wondering if this is real?
Ditto here. It’s March and I’m still waiting for my game pieces; sent my second-chance entries in in early December, so I know they had to have gotten there before the 12-17 deadline. And I know I followed their directions. What gives? Not happy with Starburst/Skittles right now, until I hear something different anyway. I don’t expect to win every contest, but I would like some kind of response when they say they will mail a game piece; even if they ran out, I would think they would send me (and others) something … a form letter saying “thanks for playing, but sorry we ran out of game pieces.”
Any experience with this situation, Sweetie (or others)? Anyone try the free 1-888?
Thanks much,
Leigh

I can’t find any winners from the second chance, this is weird.
I e-mailed a couple weeks ago and asked for a Winner’s List. They wouldn’t send it to me. They only said “all winners have been contacted.” Sounds like they are trying to circumvent the rules.
Received today $100 Visa gift card from this…I’m excited!
WOW CONGRATS!!!
I hope I get one.
Yesterday I got a $100 Visa gift card in the mail. Thanks Sweetie!
