Legitimate Sweepstakes and Contests: Win cash and prizes - updated 5/15/12
75Contests & Sweepstakes Tips
- I arrived home today, January 26, 2012 to a large box in my living room. I asked my hubby what the box was for. He said, "it arrived for you today." I opened it to a congratulations note from Clorox. I won cookware and some awesome sauces. I am estimating the prize to be worth around $150.00 - $200.00. I was thrilled. It is a start and I have not been entering a diligently as I should be. I am going to make more of a commitment to enter as many contests as I am able. I will continue to keep you posted.
- Well I did it again folks - Today, October 22, 2011, I joined one of the super contest sites. I paid the fee for the Power entries. The last time I did this shortly after I won $1,000.00 from Key Bank. We have been told that the more you enter, the better your chance. I am going to test this out and will keep you posted on my results. This will also enable me to share some of the newest contests with all of you. Now I know that I will be spending more than I make unless I win something. I really want to let the viewers know if these are worth laying out some cash. If I win again, I would say that their minimal fee is well worth the investment.
- Has anyone else had any experience with these multi-entry for a fee sites?
- Just to let you know today is October 30, 2011 and no one has knocked on my door yet with any prizes since I joined the great super site last week, October 23, 2011. I will continue to keep you posted.

Advice/Tips
Set up folders in your favorites. Create a file for each month that the sweepstakes ends. That way you can enter each day, Once the month ends you know you no longer need to check and file any sweeps you are interested in into the folder corresponding with when it ends. Then, if you have a day where you're pressed for time, enter at least the ones ending that day.
Play the instant win games.
Follow the rules! If a sweep is restricted, a certain age group, make sure you fit the criteria! Do not create numerous email addresses in order to enter multiple times The Sponsors check these out and will disqualify you and you will end up having NO entries.
Don't dismiss essay required sweepstakes requiring photos or essays as many people will and this will increase your odds of winning.
Expect your winnings to be low at first, expect dry spells but once you begin entering often you will see your winnings begin to roll in.
Give accurate information.
Have fun!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I enter many contests online. I have remained optimistic figuring what does it hurt to try but admittedly somewhat skeptical. I am no longer skeptical. A while back I won $500.00 worth of picture books for my classroom and a week later I won $1,000.00 from Key Bank for paying my bills online. It was a national contest.
More recently I entered an idea online for teaching social studies and won a $100.00 gift card, which I used to buy my students a pizza party. Fun was had by all!
I am not sure if it is true but I always heard the more you enter, the better your chances are. I for one am going to keep entering. Good luck all!
I will keep trying to add contest links that I find.
Even if the prize is not in your area, enter anyway. The prize may be auctioned off on ebay or sold on Craigslist or the like rendering you a little extra cash.
An update. I just won $100.00 in an online contest for suggesting an idea for an interactive notebook for my students. I did have many wonderful hubbies helping me out. Thank you all!

My wins have gone WAY up since I started with Win.ly. I'm surprised you guys are still using those ancient sites.
They actually figure out the games with the best chance of winning a prize. How can you ask for more than that?
We list instant win sweepstakes we have tons of winners. One game, right now, has over 8 million instant prizes. Those are great odds!
I've been using win.ly and could not be happier. It points you to the games with the best chance of winning.
I actually just started up http://www.GoZigit.com seems like your users would enjoy it
There are many sites that offer an opportunity to win prizes where you pay a fee and you are entered into multiple contests without having to fill out each form. I truly do attribute my winnings to one of these sites. They say the more you enter the more you win. These sites give you that advantage.
That is true, the more sweeps you enter the more you win. But beware people will try and scam you right and left telling you that you won something that you really did not. All they are trying to do is to get money from you. To prevent this, check out my website, http://www.sweepstakesmania.com. I have only HIGH quality sweepstakes from big brand companies you can TRUST.

Many people are always asking me how I am able to do what I do on a teacher's salary. I have been fortunate enough to be a part of an online company that has really helped me to achieve. I will be very upfront with you and share that it will cost you but it is a mere $10.00 a month and you can earn with this little bit of an investment. The company even offers a seven day trial period. What have you got to lose except $10.00. They build your website for you. Click here to learn more.
