My sweepstaking hasn't been paying off

I love to sweepstake but I hate when I don't win. I don't expect to win most of the sweepstakes that I enter but I do like to win some. The only problem is that I haven't won anything in over 2 months. I didn't win anything at all in January and I've only won 1 prize in February. That win hasn't been confirmed yet either.

I would like to say that I'm patiently waiting to win but I'm not a patient person. Still I try. Here's hoping I win something soon.

Sweepstaking can pay off

But boy do you have to keep at it. I haven't been sweepstaking for a while though. I took almost a 4 year break between entering. I would enter here and there if it was something that I really wanted but I wasn't too gung-ho about it. Well in the past 4 or 5 months I've become really enthusiastic about it again. Especially once I started winning little prizes here and there.

As long as I'm having fun I'll stick with it. But once it becomes a chore again, I'll stop for a while. A hobby is not supposed to feel like work. Once it does, it's time for a new hobby.

I've won some cool stuff in the past week

It seems like since I wrote that post saying that I hadn't won anything, I've won a few nice prizes. Nothing big like a computer or anything but some small stuff. I've won $50 that was added to my debit card that they gave me. I also won a $5 check from a different contest. I'm still waiting for that and it should be here in another 2 weeks.

I hope I win more prizes like that soon. I don't need to win every day but it's fun winning at least once per week.

I got some new sports gear

I won a prize pack from the lottery. One of the items is a authentic Ryan Howard Jersey in white and red. It's a nice shirt too. The letters are sewn on and it's pretty heavy. I just don't know how I'm going to wash a red and white shirt without ruining it.

I guess I'll have to wash the shirt by itself.

The Pepsi game is almost over

I'm kinda sad about it. I've only won 3 prizes. A hat and 2 footballs. The footballs are NFL regulation footballs with a retail value of $79.99 each. I gave 1 of them to my coworker Susie because she gave me a lot of the caps that I used to play the game. I'm sure at least one of her caps was a winner.

Even though I won 3 prizes, I'm still disappointed with the game. I'm a football fan so I would have preferred to have a autographed picture or mini-helmet. I wish they would have let you add your caps up and get prizes based on points values. That can be bad because people can get a lot of caps quick and get all of the good prizes.

Oh well, I just have to take what I can get.

Pepsi has a new game

I did pretty well on the last Pepsi game. I won a total of $75.00 from that game. All you had to do was enter the cap codes online and enter the sweepstakes daily.

This game is similar except you enter the code and play the NFL game. It's called Call Your Play. The type of play you call determines which prizes you can win. I always call the red zone pass. You can win xbox games, memorabilia and other prizes. The really cool thing is you get to watch a Madden play. I hate when I see certain teams on offense because I know they won't score.

I figure it's no skin of my back, I drink a bunch of Pepsi everyday anyway so I might as well play the game and try to win something while I'm at it.
