contests (hate/love/enter)

[crackercrumb]

does anyone win dailys here?
do you enter email entrys?
do you enter snail mail entrys?
do you enter blog postings?

i've only really won from local sweeps, but again, i have just started entering sweeps on a regular basis once again. i know i'll eventually win something cool, but curious what everyone else around here does.

i don't enter shakefire (every hour) sweeps - doesn't seem worth the time. the dailys aren't seeming really worth the time either, but some of them are really great prizes. i don't do snail mails & rarely do email entrys.

I used to enter everything I could, but too time consuming for me now. I enter instant wins and some dailies. Also, I like to enter the big cosmetic companies that give out lots of secondary prizes. I have only won one box of gum from wrigley's and a nice package of goodies from Revelon. I don't usually enter contests for trips, just merchandise. I really should start entering more to increase my chances.

I tend to enter ones for electronics (someday, I'll win a laptop ) and I've won an ipod, shirts, cds, makeup, pedometers etc. I also try to stay away from cars and trips as I don't have a passport or a license and if you read the fine print on the car contests, usually the winner must be in possession of a driver's license and insurance I don't like the win every hour ones and I forget the dailys sometimes but I love instant wins

Yeah I forgot about the instant wins, I always enter those!

well after a year of pugging away the prizes are coming in on a regular basis i love instant wins i do have my favorite sites that i enter daily those easy to fill out with the robo form i do all the once only as it is fast and easy kind of a long shot but you enter and forget about it but i have won 2 of them this month so you can win them but i must admit i put in about 2 hours a night after the kids go to bed i guess i have no life right now lol traded in dating for contests lol and it is a bit addicting but fun

the daily's are insane. i made a list i keep next to my computer of the daily sites. the ones i think are worth it it usually takes me half an hour to 45 mins daily to enter them. usually do it when i am watching tv or talking on msn.

I never really read the rules on the cars or trip ones (i always assume it's a huge longshot to win one of them), so i never knew about the license thing. Don't have one, so now I won't bother. Thanks.

I like the instant wins, but I have yet to instantly win on anything besides the 5 downloads, which almost all of us one. heh.
