Originally posted by Catsas I received a win from Canada Post the other day - I had a 'package' to pick up. It was a tall, long box and inside was my win... Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that you are a First Prize Winner in the GE IT PAYS TO MAKE SMART CHOICES SWEEPSTAKES in which you recently participated. Enclosed is your prize: A GE Lighting "Smart Choice" prize package including 1 Envirosax reusable shopping bag, 1 Sigg reuseable bottle and 1 coupon for a free GE Energy Smart bulb. Not the nicest of prizes, but neverthless, better then no prize at all. ~Catsas

Congrats! I won this too.

Originally posted by pickmepickme I find this very odd too. I frequent several boards, and this is the only winner I've seen so far too.

Same here, and I check three others daily also.

my boyfriend referred the contest to me & has not had any communication about being a potential winner of the $250 "tell a friend" prize......and I'm still positive that I did not enter the contest on the days the prize I won was being offered, because I make it a habit not to enter contests where I don't want/can't use/have nobody I could give the prize to. Very odd.

Hi!

I received word today that I am the lucky winner of the Canadian Family's Oral B contest.
Prize is valued at $150.....$50 worth of Oral B proucts and a $100 gift certificate for a restaurant and theatre tickets.
My first win of 2010.

Good luck to all,

CATTFURR

Won 2 tickets to the home opener of the Toronto Rock at the ACC for this Friday, from SunTV

my first wins of 2010-a pack of pro-biotic gum through a Twitter contest and a book called Hush, Hush through a Tribute contest.

Not too bad for 12 days into the new year!

I have been entering contests faithfully at least 4-5 days a week for over a year now and I haven't won a single solitary thing!!
How is everyone winning all the time?
Or maybe the luck gods are saving my big win for the lotto 649 or something??

Are you entering 1 or 2 contests each day, or 100 - 200 each day?

A lot of people on these boards enter many contests, each and every day, so their odds of winning are much greater.

I enter about 100 a day and win a prize at least once a week.

If you're not entering very many each day, and can start entering more, you will probably have much better "luck".

Last year I really slacked off with entering but I did just over $7000 in prizes. I won one large win (new appliances) and the rest were small ones.

Have you entered the wrigleys contest, Everyone is a Winner?

And some upc's you can enter 10 times and use the same upc three times:

5849689453
5849689652
5849689656
5849689657
6490001087

You are guaranteed to win something!
