Sweeties readers are winning big prizes like trips and small prizes like coupons but whatever they win it is exciting. Just read some of the great stories that have come in over the last month.
From Kim (lokwin44 on the Secret site):
I can’t stop shaking after a phone call I received about 45 minutes ago from ePrize telling me that my photo was the grand prize winner in the You Don’t Know Oz contest!!!!!!
The prize is a trip for 4 to Australia!!!!!! (valued at $18,000).
I’m not sure which site I found this contest on, but no matter what…thank you so much Sweetie! YOU are the one that got me started sweeping and entering contests!
Still have to read through the affidavit, get it notarized and send it back……but WOW!
This is unbelievable!
From Shirley:
I just wanted to let you know I won on the Scotts Snap system giveaway. I won this eve. and I only started playing it yesterday. Boy this will make easier spreading fretilizer for my Husband this summer. He usually does it with a hand held spreader. Boy was he excited. Thank you for posting the giveaway.
From Jackie:
Just wanted to thank you for telling me about the Clinique trial mascara give-a-way because I won a trial size sample. I also won a Xeko pet through the Nationwide Bank to Win Giveaway last year and a holiday rug from the Shaw Flooring Makeover My Nest giveaway.
From Anne:
I have been patiently waiting for 7 weeks to write you this email. Over the past 2 years I have been following your site I have won various prizes from coupons for free food to 4 free tickets to Six Flags (summer 2009). This past November you posted a one-time entry sweeps with ‘Good’ odds per your Sweetie’s Rating System. On December 8, 2010 I received a call notifying me that I was a second prize winner in the Journeys Onitsuka Tiger Sweepstakes. My prize finally arrived today – a 16GB iPad and a pair of Skull Candy headphones! It’s my biggest win to date and it’s all thanks to you and all the work you do to bring us all those wonderful winnable sweeps!
From Fred:
Thanks to your great blog I won the Interstate Batteries “Big Game” Sweepstakes. They notified me yesterday and when I went to a notary with my affidavits, she wanted to know if it was acknowledgment or Jurat. Which one do I use. I’ll sent another email after I receive my Toyota Tundra and tell you all about it. Thanks for your great work
From Kelli:
I just had to share my news with someone who would understand “what all the hype is about”. I have been entering sweepstakes for only 2 weeks now. I use autofill instead of Roboform. I go to other sweeps sites but almost all of my entries come from your site. Anyway, I have managed to score several facebook giveaways, many free samples & just today I got an email saying I won a daily giveaway for a $25 Toys R Us gift card! I was over the top excited. Funny how a small win is still a WIN when you get it for the first time. Thank you Sweety for all you do!
From Ellie:
I was waiting for my son to take me grocery shopping so I decided to play at least my “end this month” folder.
I played the Dannon Small Steps and the winning screen popped up. First Prize – $550.00 (one month) free groceries! It will come as a grocery gift card.
Pretty excited since my grocery bill has increased since my son is living back home again. Twenty-year-olds eat a lot! He also got a phone call today that he was hired by a local company and starts Monday.
From Nikki:
Oh my goodness!! I just got an email saying that I was the winner in the Smashbox/People StyleWatch Holiday Clique sweepstakes!! I won a year’s supply of Smashbox Cosmetics valued at $1,500!! I will receive the products months before they are even available in the stores! I am so excited!!! Thank you again Sweetie for all you do for us!!

So I just joined this site last week…entered this contest and was chosen to participate for last nights game. This was so exciting such a great experience. I did beat out my competition in the free throw portion and got to take the half court shot. I missed that unfortunately, but a great win none the less. 2 tickets to the game valued at 62.00 a piece and the 250.00 for Frontier Airlines Flybucks Card. More than paid for the cost of joining this site.

Wendy,
Remember what you always say – Play Local Sweeps because they have the best odds? how right you are! I won a 4 day cruise aboard the newest Disney Cruise Line (Dream!!!) for 4 people, including airfare, accomodations and food, from a local radio station!
I’m a fan of theirs on Facebook and happened to see code words they posted on their page on my news feed. I went to their page and got more info. It was a daily sweeps but you had to listen to the station to get the code words at specific times of the day. At the end of the day or the next, they shared the words on their FB page.
I entered once with those words I saw that day and forgot about it.
About 2 weeks later a friend called me at work and said she heard my name on the radio for winning a cruise. I hadn’t gotten an email or a phone call but I wrote on the station’s FB wall and got a response on that post within a couple of days from one of their VJs that the marketing department would be in contact!
I waited to tell a lot of people but it’s official – I just got my cruise and flight confirmation email on Monday.
Cruise value – almost $5K!
Thanks for all that you’ve taught me!
Hi Sweetie! I have won some great stuff too! I also won the Scot’s lawn fertilizer a couple of nights ago (my 2nd time playing), I also won a $100 gift card to the University Bookstore (from the secret site), I also won the Clinique mascara, several gift cards from the score with a song sweeps to the NBA store, the softlips Facebook offer, & more! It’s been a fun week! 🙂
Oh yeah, I won the Biotrue bag too!
I love reading the stories of everyone’s wins! I can just picture them at that moment of finding out! What a thrill! 🙂
I was a Second Prize winner for Landau’s Win a Year of Scrubs giveaway, I got a 50″ flat screen LG tv! I also scored a $25 grocery giftcard, Clinique mascara sample and a free pack of Charmin toilet paper this week. It was a good week 🙂
