I had a surprise win arrive tonight....I think its from one of the book contests. Its a New Zealand Prize with 4 novels, 4 wine glasses, a wine cooler and 3 bottles of wine!
A good girls night is in the future...lol.

Thank you for participating in our 2012 Valentine's Day on-line ballot contest. Your entry has been selected as the winner of one (1) of our Weekend Getaway Prize Packages. You have won $500 in Stage West All Suite Hotel and Theatre Restaurant Gift Certificates!

Hi!

I also had a surprise win.....a large Wok, tea pot, tea infuser, blue and white china rice bowl, 3 pairs of chopsticks, tea and three jars of VH sauce. Value, $100.
No idea where it came from as there was no information with it.

Nice wins, guys!!

Here are my wins so far in 2012:

- 2 movies
- Alberto Hair Product
- Perfect 10 Hair Color
- Peppermint Chapstick
- Bounce Dog Shirt


Pretty small stuff, but I still hold hope for something amazing! Now with contesting becoming as popular as it has - I find it next to impossible for a *big* win haha.
However, I do love the small wins too - Hair stuff etc... It really helps when you are on a tight budget

I agree!!! I keep on entering day after day after day, it gets pretty boring! But I keep hoping for just 1 big win to come my way! I did win a local radio contest a few days ago, won a pair of tickets to see Third Eye Blind, am looking forward to it!

in my 30 years of entering contests on a daily basis, I have averaged a REALLY big prize (over $30,000 value) every 7 to 10 years, a pretty big prize ($5 to 10 K) every couple of years, a big prize ($1,000) about once a year and small stuff every week or so.

This week alone I won 2 tickets each to 3 different concerts and a $500 GC to Stage West (see post above)

Most people give up entering after a while because they find it boring and they don't win something right away, which is fine by me because it makes my odds of winning just a tiny bit better.

I find you soon forget how boring the entry process is when you are on an all-expenses-paid vacation.

Oh, I've definitely never found the process of entering to be boring...Especially when I think of what the potentials may be! haha
I have won some amazing things in the past few years..Including 2 trips, one to Mexico and one to Vancouver... I was really on a roll! But yep - Contesting is so much fun, no matter what!

Yes, that's what I get. You can also put the formula in Google Search and it gives you the answer.
