A Few Moments With Some Sweepstakes Winners!

Today, SweepstakingDreams.com spends a few minutes with a few people whose sweepstaking dreams have come true. Perhaps you've had some similar experiences, as many sweeptakers do. If so, feel free to share them in the comments!

It's fun to see the ways people respond in these videos, and to have an idea of what could also come your way, on any day, at any decent hour!

This first video is the moment when Publisher's Clearing House surprises one of its $10,000 winners. When she isn't home, they must find her at work, where the moment becomes contagious!



This next video offers some follow through, which is just as nice to see. These winners have won a home remodel, and they share what these experiences were like for them.



Finally, we have the moment when a woman finds herself on live national radio, receiving the phone call telling her she's won $500 in gas cards. How would you respond if you, too, received a live phone call like this one?

Would You Like to Create a Scene with Some Poultry?

Backyard Poultry Magazine and Nite Guard Solar are offering a contest for poultry lovers, landscape lovers, and photographers at any level of expertise. For this contest, you are asked to take a photo of some beautiful landscape, and to include poultry in the shot.

Of course, no animals can be harmed in the making of the scene, and as always, you'd need to keep it tasteful. Outside of this, the limits of your imagination are the primary boundary.

Photos will be judged by votes from the general public, so no other judging criteria is offered. If you have a sense of what is popular (you could potentially think in the realm of nicely done viral photos you may have seen on the Internet, for inspiration), then you would have a good idea of what direction to take with your entry.

* Grand Prize is two Nite Guard Solar Lights. No ARV is stated.

Scenic Poultry Photography Contest

The only criteria stated for which locations are eligible to enter is "void where prohibited." Hence, it may be open to worldwide entries, though it might not. In the end, as per usual, it's your entry, so use your own best judgement.

One entry per contestant. Must be 13 or older to enter, void where prohibited. Deadline for submissions is December 17, 2014, last day to vote is December 21, 2014.


Good Luck!

Farm, or Hunt? Either Way, You Could Win!

Today's sweeps offer something for those who enjoy a bit more of a self-sufficient and healthier scene. Raising animals for food, or hunting for the same, both rise from age-old practices. However, in these modern times, both have been readily adapting to new circumstances. These things are no longer reserved for country dwellers.

Cities and urban areas across the U.S. are creating new laws to accommodate both areas. Urban farming is becoming more and more popular, so new laws and regulations have been adopted in many areas. Along with this, hunting laws are now being utilized to control rapidly rising populations of certain species (in the state where I live, these are primarily deer and coyote), in areas where it was formerly considered taboo to hunt at all. Within city limits, some will now find both to be available.

Here, you will find prizes, and a bit of information, to help on this journey!


Grit has another great chicken coop giveaway! For some time now, I have been quite interested in the "backyard chicken" movement, which basically allows folks in city and urban areas to keep a limited amount of chickens on their property. Generally, people enjoy this for the simple joy of having chickens, and, of course, for the freshest eggs available. These coops are perfect for this, and the accompanying books in this prize will leave any guesswork out! Certain laws do apply, so if you have an interest in doing this, check the laws in your locale.

This sweeps is for those who'd rather hunt for their food than raise it themselves. Unfortunately, the link to the rules for this sweeps was not functioning at the time of this writing. Although the sweeps offers some fabulous prizes, and does tell us that it ends December 31, 2014, without the rules there is no way to tell how many entries are allowed, nor who it is open to (though I think it is a safe bet that entrants need be 21 or older). The URL to the rules tells me that they would likely need to be uploaded from someone's desktop, though they likely wouldn't appreciate us sweepstakers doing that. The current link is: file:///C:/Users/clines/Desktop/Sweepstakes/Old%20Milwaukee/Old_Mil_Hunting_Rules_2014.pdf. Hopefully they will update it soon!
