What prizes have you won? |
A Dodge Caravan, seven trips to Orlando (Disney and Universal), two trips to Los Angeles, a week at Club Med in Florida; cash, clothing, cereal, sporting event tickets, gift cards ranging from $10 to $1000, an audition to Wheel of Fortune, a year's membership to Bali's gym and many smaller prizes too numerous to list. |

How much time do you spend in a day/week entering sweepstakes/contests? |
I'm retired, so my hours are flexible. Some days I don't spend any time at all, and other days I'll spend four or five hours preparing my entries. Usually averages out to a couple hours a day. |

What is your #1 best tip to give other sweepstakers for winning? |
Just don't give up. Winning is a little more difficult now with the internet entries, and although I do some internet, I still prefer the snail mail. It's much more fun. And after all, that's what this hobby is all about. |

Subscriber's Essay: |
Entering sweepstakes is not only enjoyable, but it can be very profitable. I save a lot by stashing my prizes for a special birthday or holiday gift for family members. As a senior citizen, it keeps my mind alert and my body moving. I belong to a local sweeps club where I have made numerous new friends. I also like to travel, so the conventions are a great place to share my hobby and see the country at the same time. |
