Sweeties Readers are Winning Big!

As I told you, if you stick with this hobby long enough you are bond to win and win big. Of course, it happens at different times for each person, and your turn will come, but for some readers it happened this week. It seems like this big prizes this week were trips – see below in red.

If you’re not winning on some of the “winnables” then switch it up. Why not enter some blog giveaways for a change. My friend Zippy (The Review Broads) won a $400 vacuum from a blog this week as well as tickets & prizes for the movie “Away we go” (also a blog giveaway).

Just because you’re not winning now doesn’t mean you won’t win in the future. Just don’t give up. That is the worst thing people do. They lose patience, see everyone else winning, and stop entering. Believe me, this small list of people is very small compared to the people who lose. I lose 99 times out of a 100 tries sometimes but you don’t see me giving up and you shouldn’t either. Just use this list as encouragement to show you what is possible – not discouragement.

There are lots of winnable instant win games that even new readers are winning. Here are some you should be entering right now and you will find a list of winnable instant win games listed on the right-hand side of the screen. Make sure you read how to get started entering sweepstakes if you don’t know where to go first and then join in so you can send me your wins next week.

• Pace Hand-Pick and Win Ends 7/31/09
• Huggies Enjoy the Ride Win $25 in Gas Cash Ends 7/31/09
• My Coke Papa Johns Pizza IWG Ends 8/15/09
• Mountain Dew Game Fuel Choose Your Side Ends 8/20/09
• Marlboro 100 Days Of Flavor Sweepstakes Ends 9/8/09
• My Coke Rewards Six Flags Tickets Ends 9/8/09
• My Coke Twist Txt with 79,000 prizes Ends January 2010

If you would like to be included in Sunday’s weekly winner post please email me your prize story. If you have a story of how you are now winning locally from radio stations, grocery stores or something else I’d love to share your story. Entering locally is really the best way to win other than instant win games.

I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful website. I was sent a link by a friend less than a month ago and have already won multiple prizes including a Coke debit card, $50 in gas cards, $24 in movie cash from Family Dollar, 12 movie tickets and lots of other small prizes. My biggest win yet was today when I finally won the Six Flags tickets. I would estimate the total value of things I’ve won to already be over $400.

Thank you for all of the hard work you put in keeping Sweetie’s Sweeps updated!

This week I won $5 from Cheerios & an ashtray from Marlboro. Even small wins make me smile! Thanks for the links Sweetie!

Hi Wendy,

I just wanted to THANK YOU for your web site! I had won a contest in May from Redbook magazine for a Perfume and lotion gift set (which takes 3 to 6 months to arrive) and then the week of Father’s Day I had entered a few Blog giveaways and had won one for a Sean Jean Unforgivable Cologne set. So after never winning anything ever my heart was starting to race and I wanted to figure out how to keep that feeling going. Then I happened to run across your site about 2 weeks ago while checking in at Freebies4Mom.com and I immediately had to check it out. Now I am addicted! (Although I still can’t get up “during the peak play hours” LOL)

It took me a week or so reading over everything and entering a few contests here and there to feel comfortable and this week I finally went full force and tried to enter everything I could. Although I may not have any “big” wins I am still happy that I have won these things this week and can’t wait to see what the weeks ahead hold:

• Jar of Salsa from La Victoria
• $5 Subway Gift card from The Land of the Lost game
• 2 Rascal Flatts Downloads
• $5 Visa Cash card from the box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (not a game, but still a WIN)

Thanks again for all of your hard work at this site!

Hi Wendy,

I am one of your new “joins” about 6 weeks ago. First, let me again thank you for all of your help with entering/winning sweeps. I lost my job 7 months ago and I and my family have been struggling financially ever since. Using the info on your site has been so helpful.

I am able4 to provide my kids with some semblance of a childhood thanks to you. You are a godsend and thank you so much.

Thank you for all your work on this site. I’ve already downloaded the excellent Excel spreadsheet to keep track of all I’m winning. In a little over a month I’ve brought in $283.13 worth of prizes, which is much more then I ever brought in by filling out online surveys (which I was doing the last 5 years) So thank you.

Also the Glidden Paint giveaway is all out of free paint, now they are offering a $5 cash rebate of any size of their paint. Thought I’d let you know

Thanks again,

Keith

I have been playing about a month or so and have had a few wins I am pretty proud of – continue to play for something bigger!

• La Victoria Free Salsa
• 2 My Coke EDO $25 cards

Amy

I am so glad I found your site! I used to enter contests and win once in a great while. Since finding your site I have won the Cheerios $5 contest four times, free Pace on their contest, a Subway gift card from the Land of the Lost contest, an ashtray on the Marlboro contest and a Papa Johns pizza from Coke. Thank you sooooo much for showing me how to enter and win.

Hi Wendy –

I told you I would let you know when I won something bigger than the Rascal Flats download – so here goes…

* 6 Flags Tickets
* 2 x Pizza from Papa Johns
* 2 x (2) Movie Tickets
* Salsa, salsa, salsa
* Subway Gift Card – $5
* An Ashtray from Marlboro

and who knows what else! I did get sown in the dumps when I felt like I wasn’t winning – but I kept at it. Then it seemed like the flood gates opened, and I was winning something everyday or almost every day.

So – Thank you! I hope you realize what an impact you make on so many people’s lives.

Hi Wendy!

I have had an incredible winning week. I have had some very dry weeks too, but this was a good one. I won 2 Pace salsas, 1 LaVictoria salsa, 2 tickets to Ice Age, 4 tickets for Fandango, a coupon for free Feta Cheese, and I just got a certificate in the mail for a free bottle of Pledge pet sweeper!

And my son has been telling everyone about how he gets to go see Ice Age. 🙂

Thanks for all of your tips!!!

Hi Wendy~

I had another big win today. I got a call from Harpo Productions today. I won (The Oprah Show Summer Giveaway) an all expense paid trip for 2 to Chicago for the Oprah Show during Premiere Week. That is the week where she gives audience members all the grat prizes -cars, etc! They even give me a check for $866 to cover the taxes on the prize. Awesome.

Wendy,

Since the end of May I have won 2 Ice Age movie tix, 1 $5 check from Cheerios, 3 bottles of Pace, 1 digital download, 1 bottle of Victoria salsa, 4 pack of Six Flags tix from cokerewards and 1 pizza and 2 cokes from cokerewards. The sixflags tix were very important to me because we are going to Georgia in July to see Thomasville and this means everything to my 4 year old son. I have had my fill of salsa, yum yum. Cant wait to see the new Ice Age movie with the kids. I have become addicted to sweeps and IWG’s. I have yet to hear if I have won a sweep but it sure is fun trying and waiting with anticipation. Thanks for your direction and help.

Hi Sweetie!

Thanks for all your hard work. I’ve been sweeping since December 2008, but kicked it up a notch in March after finding your site from Freebies 4 mom. I win pretty consistently, but this week I got my biggest prize yet, a $100 Omaha Steaks gift card from the Family Dollar 50 days of giveaways. This week I also won a 6 month, a 1 month and a 21 day Blockbuster total access trial from Subway, a La Victoria salsa coupon and a Zagat-to-go trial membership. From blog giveaways I won a book and a Pillsbury Bake-off prize pack.

Thanks!

I won $100 in their Instant win contest! Way cool! It pays to be a chocolate addict! I just started playing the sweeps about a month ago. This is so cool. Only other thing I’ve won so far is an mp3 download for Rascal Flatts. Turns out I didn’t like that song. 🙂

Elizabeth
