Welcome to my sweepstakes web site. I'm Linda.

Today is Wednesday August 27. I have 1936 active contests listed - 24 new today.

YIPPEE!! I'm going on vacation for two weeks! My husband and I will be heading off to Vancouver Island on the 21st, and then up through the Rocky Mountains (he loves to drive). No, I didn't win it. So, I will add new daily contests/sweeps for you, but will not be looking at my emails and will only follow some comments, as I wish to relax. As a result, if you have any contests/sweeps to share, please send them via the "Add a Sweepstakes" link on the left-hand toolbar, and not by email. I will add them whenever I find some time and internet accesss. I hope you all help each other while I'm gone (you usually do!). :-)

NOTE: Don't forget that the Single Entry category has many ONGOING Sweeps/Contests, that you only enter once, but you return to the site frequently to check for new ones. Make sure to add them to your MyContests list, or bookmark.

Your wins as of August 19th: The Mars Halloween Million Instant Win Game and Sweepstakes will have too many free M&Ms winners, so just check the comments for those wins, but I will be listing the bigger prizes.

For those of you who are new to this site, let me tell you a bit about myself: I love to enter online contests and sweepstakes and I love to win, even if it's something small like a movie ticket or a football. I spend a few hours each day finding and entering contests on the web and I've won lots of prizes. I have won trips, Xbox 360s (2 of them), iPods (5 of them), phones, books, games and much more. Every once in a while something turns up in my email box telling me I've won another contest and sometimes I'm surprised when I pick up my regular mail and find a prize parcel that has arrived unannounced. It's a lot of fun.

There are thousands of sweepstakes and contests online. Most are legitimate and are run by reputable companies but others can be shady and are simply a way of gathering email addresses. The trick is to find the good ones and this is where I can help. I do my best to find the most interesting contests and sweepstakes and list them here on my web site. My work will save you hours.

If you're going to start entering contests online, there's some things you should know - like how to get your browser to fill in forms automatically. Check out the link Contest Tips to find out how to do this along with other tips I'd like to pass on to you

This website is still a bit of a work in progress. I have been updating the contest and sweepstakes listing daily and I have plans to add new features as time goes on so please come back often.

I love to win and so will you. When you win something, send me a note - I'd love to hear about it.

Enjoy, and good luck.

Linda.
