Official Discussion of Contests/Sweepstakes I have Won! No OT

Quote from caitybates : So I FINALLY received my win from the last big subway sweepstakes. It was supposed to be a year supply of vitamin water worth 900 bucks delivered as 24 cases of 24 but to my surprise, when I opened the package, it was a visa gift card worth 900 bucks. I couldn't be happier!!! I guess it was worth the half year wait.

I would have laughed if semi pulled up with those cases, unloading them on your stoop...to be honest I could drink a 6 ack of those a day pretty easy.

My boyfriend was preemptively pissed at me when I told him I won. "Where are we going to put this?!" "You can't drink that much!" Now he's trying to convince me to split the winnings. Not gonna happen.

Quote from allyn9 : Awesome! Love, love, love that kind of payoff!

I was a little leery when I won it, but am thanking my lucky stars that they decided to just give me a gift card.

Quote from Sweepaholic : Wow that is so much better to get the Visa, you can spend that puppy on whatever you want!

Gonna go on a mini shopping spree

Quote from melan26 : Woot! Probably would have cost more to ship and really, do you need that much?! Good thing they gave you something better. Now maybe I'll start entering ones like this.

That's what I figure. However, the other day I won a $25 visa and they shipped it two day air which cost them about 28 bucks... some companies just don't care.

Quote from MLx3 : Whoop, whoop! Congratulations! Water is highly overrated. Cold, hard cash (or a Visa gift card) rules!

Completely overrated. I have a faucet if I want water.

Thanks to sweepstaker for posting GUESS - 14 Days of Sexy Sweepstakes

I was one of the winners of
InBloom shift dress and a $150 GUESS shopping card, ARV: $248 USD.

I'm so excited. I have lots of wins in the past year but most were under a $40 value. Biggest had been a $100 Publix grocery store gift card that I won last summer.

Thanks to all who post sweeps. I get emails from various sites alerting of their sweeps but when I come to post I find it's already here.

Got a $200 Apple gift card from UPS Football logistics delivered...will go good with the one from the Pepsi Contest I got...thanks OP!

I won a $250 visa gift card, but I had to turn it down because I'm not a small business owner

Well, haven't been in this thread in a while....haven't been entering contests due to finishing my Bachelor's Degree all year, but will be done in 2 weeks and I won a gallon of 8th Continental Soymilk on Facebook this morning

Congratulations on both your degree and the soy milk win.


Congratulations to everyone else that has won recently as well.

Finally have something other than a very small instant win for February. I was one of 100 selected for the runner up prize of $25 Lands' End GC from this:

Thanks, Yardee!!

I was beginning to think I was never going to win anything again.

Congratulations!! To all of the Winner's.

Did anybody else win a prize from the "Lone Ranger Who Will You Ride With on GameDay" sweepstakes on Twitter? I got a direct message from LoneRanger today telling me I won a prize (don't know which one) and to reply with my information. But since @LoneRanger isn't following me on Twitter it won't let me reply with my information in a DM. Aurrrgh. I've already tweeted them and asked them to follow me so we'll see if that helps.

EDIT: After tweeting them twice, posting on their FB page and sending an e-mail, they finally followed me on Twitter, lol. Now to wait and find out whether I won the Subway cards, the autographed poster or the motorcycle helmet.

won movie tix and a subway card via twitter today

Hate it when companies are too stupid to know how to run a contest...

I won a bottle Ralph Lauren Romance from a blog today!!
