I was notified that I was a winner in June. Have heard nothing since.
No response to follow up emails, nor to message left on website.
Prize was valued at $50.00 so no affy.

Technically? It's always been free chalices with or without engraving, but they've eventually shipped every single one without a problem and they arrive in great condition (read: not broken). I also got a membership packet in the mail that included a fancy booklet and card. The motif was very classy; black on black. Embarrassment

"won" something from Organic Gardening Magazine but they're promotion sucks. I was on the list as the the 4/19 winner of the Organic Garden Gear Giveaway but they did not contact me and i never got anything so i contacted them on facebook.

OGM: Yes, i see your name is on the list, but the way the giveaway works is that you have to claim your prize the day your name appears on the homepage... If your name is listed on the Web Site as a potential winner on the Posting Date, you must send an e-mail to Sponsors at [email protected], with the subject line "Gear Sweepstakes," before 11:59 p.m. ET on the Posting Date.

ME: Thats a poor way to run a promotion, please take me off the winners list if i didnt win anything.

OGM: We've been running the promotion this way for years and we end up giving away between 10 and 15 prizes a month. We do it this way because it encourages our readers to visit our homepage each day to see if they've won. And while they're on the homepage they hopefully will see an article or two that catches their interest, answers their questions, or inspires them to start gardening. So all in all, it's not a poor way to run a promotion, but thank you for your commentary.


Ugh. I understand wanting people to come check the page (even though its annoying) but you could still email the winner directly. No prize for me.

On the plus side I won Brooks Cascadia 7 shoes from outdoor magazine, not sure who posed it but thanks!

Awesome, I also got my package today--a meat thermometer. UPS messed up and sent it on a vacation to Columbus Ohio out for delivery. Rerouted it 5 times (got UPS delivery notices each time). Was a bit amusing, though would have been bummed if it was lost for good. Originally was supposed to be delivered on Thursday. VERY nice weber thermometer, Big Weber fan.

I won a Yamaha p95b digital piano in a local raffle. The best part is that all proceeds from the raffle went to the local food bank!

That really stinks. Someone on this site had recommended setting up a Google Alert with your name so whenever a new hit is produced with your name you receive an e-mail. Not sure if this appeals to you, but it should help prevent this in the future.

I remember that promo....giving away 10-15 prizes in a daily giveaway fo a month makes tons of sense for them. Not for us.

If you are into supporting the food bank--the really great thing is you frequently win free product coupons. I like to donate excess food I can't use. I love helping my neighbors.
