Why Buy It When You Can Win It?

Great wins this week everyone. I even had a grand prize win, see below. If you haven’t emailed me your winning story feel free to as I will include you next week. Many people leave comments on posts and doing it that way makes it so only those people who read those posts will see your great story.

If you are looking for even more sweepstakes to enter visit my Sweepstakes Daily Digest where I post 5 to 10 new sweepstakes each day. These are sweepstakes that I DO NOT post on this site. I just post a summary of the rules and prizes and give you the link to enter. That way I can post more each day.

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.

If you would like to be included in Sunday’s weekly winner post please email me your prize story. I don’t answer every email but I will definitely post your 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.

From Sweeties Secret Sweeps

I won a trip for 2 to Florida to go to the Cristina show from a Nestle/Cristine/ShopRite Sweepstakes. I also get $250 in cash, $100 to buy groceries from ShopRite, and Nestle water for a year. This was a restricted sweepstakes, open to 6 states, that I had posted on the Secret site.

I plan on making the most of this trip as it will only be 3 days, basically a weekend. Right now we don’t know the dates but it will be within 6 months. I am going to advertise a “Meet and Greet” for anyone who would like to come out and meet me at the hotel we are staying in. I will post about it when we have the dates.

Sweetie (Wendy)

I won 1 of 200 First Prize items from the Coors Lite Cold & Bold Sweepstakes. It’s an 8gb Apple ipod Nano – ARV: $149.99. I used the free entry code they gave. Biggest win so far and the cool thing is I was price shopping for an iPod just the day before. I never even got an email or any notification. It just showed up by special delivery today.

Thanks Sweetie!

Cherrybaby

I won an iPod! 8gig! Comes with a Coors light skin! I didn’t know I won, it just came to the door!

Breezy

I won an iPod. It was outside my door when I got home. I have been trying to win one for my son since May he’s really happy.

Thank you Sweetie

kitups

Note: Cherrybaby, Breezy and Kitups won iPods from the same restricted sweepstakes. I believe we had 2 more winners from this sweepstakes but since they do not mentioned where they won the iPods I am not sure. See posts below.

I wanted to send you my story since I had been waiting to win something from a sweep I got from your site. I kept trying the MyCokeRewards Instant Win games every now and then, and was always bummed that others were getting Pizzas and Six Flag tix. Then, just the other night, I was playing between 10:30 and 11 pm and I won the Best Buy $15 gift card.

I have also won local radio contests which is how I got started in this hobby. I enter via the local Radio station web sites.

Local Radio Wins:

• $25 Homegoods gift card (which I traded via your Prize Swap page for a equivalent Cinemark giftcard)
• $25 Italian Oven Cafe giftcard
• $40 1800Flowers.com
• $100 Flea Market Mall gift card
• Numerous concert tix, too many to list
• $250
• Movie DVDs

Biggest wins:

• CondeNast Word Trips Grand Prize Winner 2008 – Trip for 2 to a Top 25 North American Resort & Spa, we chose the Phoenician.
• Jet Ski from Radio promotion

Thanks,

Rosa

Hi Wendy,

I haven’t updated in awhile, so I thought today was the day for it. In the last 6 weeks I’ve won some song downloads from Heineken, 3 Pace salsas (my husband has won 5 and can’t even play anymore!), a 10 piece Pyrex set from Morton’s, $10 from Cheerios, and today I got a package telling me I’d won first place in the Coors Light Sweepstakes and in the package was a new Ipod Nano! Thank you so much for everything!

Hey Sweetie,

I have been following your site since March of this year, and I have to say, although I have been successful in winning all kinds of small objects, I have never really won anything worth value until now!

Every week I read your posts, winners stories, and enter somewhere around 60 sweeps a day, but I was getting frustrated. I was become a “whiner” per say, lol. I wanted to join your secret site, but my current lack of money has prevented me from doing so. Long story short I got my golden phone call today.

When I seen the weird looking number on my phone, I knew it, I just knew it!

I have had this “feeling” all week long, and man was I right! I WON The Office Sweepstakes for Charlotte! $1,000 coming my way in 2-4 weeks! Be advised that you will have another secret sweeps member pretty soon, and thank you from the bottom of my heart Sweetie! You made my year!!!!

Thank You,

Rachael
