Time for a new thread!

Please use this thread to brag & boast about the C&S you won.
Please do not bump an expired contest to tell others that you won.

slickdeals.net does not condone cheating to win more than one prize when it's only one prize per person or household. so if you won more than what you're allowed, against the sponsors' rule, please do not brag or boast about it.

Still baffled by how much stuff you guys have won... some of you have some crazy wins in your signatures. Don't know how you're doing it... but congrats!! I'm assuming you guys are using other sites to get sweeps?
1.5 million+ entries over 6 years give or take. I'm a big loser from odds standpoint.

I tell my friends that all the time with they say" you are always winning something. I never win anything." I say I am really a big loser, and you can not truelly be a big loser unless you enter things. I love being a big loser,with a few wins. :-)

I also won the 2 year subscription to Rolling Stone (we just let our subscription expire!) and a cat collar.

I have only gotten very small wins, but it excites me.

Congrats to everyone. I love coming here to read about the wins.

That's...a lot.
How do you keep track of how many you've entered? I can't even seem to figure out a good system for organizing things.

Avg # of entries a day x Avg # of days entering a year (350) x # of years entering...

I know I enter ~15 pages od dailies x 30 entries a page.
I know I enter ~1 page of the 3 submitted of single entries a day.
I know I enter ~3 pages of instants...

All are estimates, but doing the math it can project a good model of aprox what you do.

How about another estimate...lets say you enter 4 hours a day x 350 days...so ~1400 hours a year...at $7 an hour, thats the equivalent of making $10,000 at a min wage job. Now over 6 years, that would be $60,000. Now think what that money would do for you properly invested. Talking nice retirement. I don't think I've made anywhere close to that in winnings...thats why this is considered a hobby and NOT a job. Think everyone's time is worth more then they make from sweeping.

I won an Ipad mini from Wonderful Pistachios Twitter contest. Wondering how long it will take to get here. Excited. Best win ever...other than when I did a scratch off card at the Florida/Alabama line and won $1000. Wish I could win a few more of those (even if we did have to go to lottery headquarters to get the prize). My hubby refused to mail it in for fear that it would get lost in the mail. : )

After you filled out the form and submitted it, the message on the next page said allow 10-12 weeks for delivery.

Won a $10 FAO Schwarz gift card tonight from this IWG
https://slickdeals.net/f/5492598-FAO-Schwarz-150th-Anniversary-Instant-Win-Ends-12-9-12?v=1
It ends tonight. Thanks Tregan28 for posting it!

I didn't think there would be much for $10 there, but I got some crayons my little boys will like.
