Sweepstakes From Some of Your Favorite Brands!


Today's sweeps are from some of those brands that are instantly recognizable, the brands that many have grown up with.

As you may have noticed from today's pic, I won the instant win prize from today's first pick. If you have been playing the "Cottonelle Take a Spin Sweepstakes," from the April 30th It's Instant Wins-Day! post, then you can use the same log in information to enter this sweepstakes. Otherwise, if you do not already have a Cottonelle account, you will need to create one to enter.

The Soft Scrub sweepstakes is pretty straightforward. The amount for the grand prize could give you a nice trip, with the taxes in an affordable range. Even the free product would be a nice win, as they always are.

Betty Crocker is giving us the opportunity to vote for the recipes that will be featured in their 2015 calendar, with the opportunity to win one, too. These calendars always look so nice in the kitchen area, and are filled with inspiration and good recipes. So, this would be a nice win, too!

Lastly, we can't forget the Purex Sweepstakes!

Lay's Finalists Announced!


So, the exciting news is out. Lay's has chosen the four finalists in the 2014 "Do Us A Flavor" Contest. This was a bonus contest on the March 2, 2014 post, Design a T-Shirt for a Chance to Win a Trip to Hawaii! (Plus, Maybe Win a Million).

I had 21 entries in this contest. Alas, I did not receive a winning email telling me I was a finalist. Oh, well. This news is still a good way to learn what the judges like, and to hone those skills for next year's contest!

Congratulations to the finalists!

Tuesday Tips for Winning!


Strategies and ways to win are always a hot topic amongst sweepers. Each has found something that works, to keep those wins coming. Many are inclined to share. So, today we explore some more winning tips.

As for me, I think one of the best tips (alongside increasing your chances through daily entries, and using instant win strategies) is to enter consistently. If you are newly into a sweepstaking hobby, it may take a few months to get things rolling. Don't let this discourage you. Once you start to enter on a regular basis, over a period of a few months or so, you will be entered into a wide range of sweepstakes.

Some of these sweepstakes will end quickly, while others will last for several months or even a year. By entering regularly, you are creating momentum. Basically, you will have a large pool of entries, in a wide variety of sweepstakes. As some sweeps end, and new ones begin, you generally start to see wins coming on a more regular basis. It's nearly impossible not to.

The bigger goal isn't necessarily about increasing your chances of winning any one particular sweepstakes (though you could call this a "sub-goal," as there will always be certain sweepstakes that you want to put more time and effort into). The bigger goal is about exponentially increasing your chances of winning... Again, and again, and again. This is what being consistent does.

In the end, once you get into it, the game of sweepstakes is such a fun game, that it really isn't as hard to be consistent as it would seem!


Here is what another sweeper (and author) has to say...



On the Website mentioned in this video, there are a number of blog posts offering strategies for winning under the heading "How to Win."

Your Outdoor Animal Videos, Could Win Cash!



Birds & Blooms magazine, along with Country magazine are looking for your videos of outdoor animals. These can be animals like squirrels, birds, and others you would see in the wilds of your backyard, or they can be other types of wildlife, and even farm animals.

The main points are that they be animals you would normally find outdoors, and that your video be touching in some way. It could be heartfelt, humorous, or could cause some other emotion in the viewer.

This contest has two rounds. The first round will be judged by a panel of judges. 12 finalists will then move on to the second round for public voting, to determine the grand prize winner. The expected number of contestants for this contest is only 150, so the odds look quite good.

* Grand prize is $1,000.
