Want to win more cash and prizes? Why yes, thank you. Don’t we all? 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. We call them restricted sweeps because they are only for certain people to enter. Usually you have to live in that state to enter. 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.
How to Find Local Sweepstakes
You can spend all day searching for local sweepstakes and yes, you can indeed find them on your own without any help but why not go to a website that does all of the work for you?
Sweeties Secret Sweeps is your answer for local sweepstakes. We find them for you and post them on our private site.
Why is the site private? To keep the competition down even further. Even though everyone can find local sweepstakes most people won’t spend the time looking for them because it is a laborious, time consuming task.
Does this site cost? Yes. There is a $25 yearly fee to join. It takes a lot of effort to find local sweepstakes and post them for all 50 states. The fee covers all kinds of things from our hosting to paying the people who do the work for you. Most members say they win their fee back and more within a month. You should definitely win it back over the course of the year.
Think of it this way, some people don’t like to clean house so they pay a housekeeper, some don’t want to find sweeps so they pay someone else to find them for them.
Disclaimer: There is no guarantee that each state will have the same amount of sweepstakes listed. We can never promise any specific amount. Our job is to find what we can for your state, give you resources for you to find them and teach you how to find them on our own.
However, all states are represented and all states are searched for equally to make it fair for everyone.
You also have to remember that you will not find 1,000s of sweepstakes for your state at any one time like you will with national sweepstakes because they are for one or more states. National sweepstakes are a dime a dozen and also much, much harder to win. Enter less with better odds and you will win more prizes. It’s that simple!
Can you guarantee that I will win?
Absolutely not! There is never any guarantee that you will win whether you enter a national sweepstakes or a local sweepstakes for your state.
There are many factors involved in winning.
First: you have to be willing to put in the time and effort to enter. We cannot do the work for you.
Second: 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.
Third: to win on a regular basis you have to see this hobby as a long term
Fourth: Quality versus quantity. Like I said, you can enter lots of national sweepstakes but you will have a lot of competition because this is a huge hobby with hundreds of thousands of people entering at any one time. The more locals you can enter the better your chances of winning and you won’t have to enter as many.
It’s about working smarter, not harder!

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 recently joined Secret Sweeps 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
Refunds:
There are no refunds given and the fee is only $25 for an entire year, the cost of one dinner out or a pair of cheap shoes. 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.

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.
are there many for Idaho?
Really want to join this but I live in Montana. Is it worth it for me to do this?
Hi wendy,
I am thinking about joining the secret sweeps are there alot of sweeps for illinois?
Thank you!
Yes, Illinois is a good state. If you live in Alaska, not so much.
I JUST JOINED BUT DIDN’T THINK TO ASK IF TEXAS WAS A GOOD STATE TO JOIN IN. ALSO HOW LONG BEFORE I RECEIVE MY SIGNON INFORMATION?
Texas is a good state. I just setup your account so check your email.
Hello, I just started sweeping and am interested in your secret sweeps. Do you get a lot for TN?
We currently live in pa, but are planning to move to maine later this year….I’m concerned that ME won’t have many restricted as they are quite often exempt from rebates and some contests, too. Any suggestions? Thanks so much for your work and time!
Maine is good because it is in the New England group of states which gets a lot of sweeps. Maine is often void because of the new law that requires companies to do extra work but I find that Maine is often included in that grouping I mentioned.
I really want to join, but I was wondering if Kansas has a lot of contest. Thanks!
Yes, all states are represented and Kansas always has new sweeps every week. The only 2 states that don’t get many are Alaska and Hawaii but even those get some occasionally.
Wyoming is the least populated state in the union. Do we get regular local sweeps?
Yes, we do get sweepstakes for Wyoming. I actually just post 3 in the last week for Wyoming.
Are there many sweeps in Washington State? Think this would be GREAT FUN!
There are sweeps for Washington state but it is not one of our top states for sweeps. My motto is “quality, not quantity” when it comes to restricted sweeps. If your state doesn’t have that many, that doesn’t mean you still can’t win. It only takes one to win
Are there many sweepstakes for California??
I’d say California is the top state on our site for sweepstakes. It’s so large there are literally more sweepstakes for Cali than I have time to post.
