I won a Bop It Bounce and a 2 yr subscription to Rolling Stone this morning. Not sure I will read RS, anyone know of ideas to convert it to a different magazine?

Also got notice my ipad mini from the Get Crackin contest is shipping next week. Can't wait to get my hands on that.

Thanks to everyone who posts contest links.

I never received a notice nor did they respond after I submitted the form. However, I see that they posted an update on Twitter https://twitter.com/getcrackin/st...6688548864

[ATTACH]1712226[/ATTACH]

I won this instant win a while ago, got my prize today. I won the biggest prize, a Bracelet worth $1075...I'm a little out of my realm of comfort on jewelry wins to be completely honest. After getting my prize and looking around similar bracelets are gong for $300-400 range. I'm thinking an appraisal may be in order for taxes. I'm kind of doubting fair market value is that high. May be even less if the metal isn't silver...at any rate beating 700,000 to 1 odds feels great.
$300-400 is about right. I figure jewelry is only worth 1/3 of ARV and never enter any jewelry sweeps with a stated value of $600+.

I don't enter jewelry specific contests myself generally speaking. However, the contest in question had prizes like Kitchen Aid Mixers. I then asked my mother if that was something she might like after winning and she indicated the affirmative. I had no idea until I directly saw the piece that the value might be off so significantly.

My main concern with later amending tax documents, is the chance it may get me audited. I don't know how common it is people make these types of IRS adjustments. Since my taxes are not generally that complicated I usually just use out of box software and not an accountant. Would be pretty nerve racking to sit down with an agent and explain all my contest entries, even if I haven't done anything wrong.

Congrats to everyone! It's been slow the past couple of months with just a few small wins under $20. Can't really complain since last year was fantastic overall.

Good luck to everyone.

Careening slightly off topic, here's a great example of how NOT to announce your sweepstakes win:

As I was typing this I received a text that I won a $1000 Best Buy gift card. When did I enter this? With my luck it's a scam. LOL

I would assume its a total scam...I get crap like that on my cell, and I NEVER text/message people nor use it for contests.
