Tell Me About Your Favorite Win - Be Featured on About.com!

I'd like to write up some experiences that people have had with winning contests and sweepstakes, in order to inspire more people who haven't won yet to give sweeping a try. Now, I'm planning to write about my own experiences, but hearing from just one person isn't all that surprising - I'd like to capture the experiences of a wide range of people. So if you've won a prize, I'd love it if you would tell me about it and let me write it up in an article.

If that sounds like fun to you, send me an email. Here are the things I need from you:

• Legal Stuff I Need to Have:
• Your name, as you would like it to be displayed in the article. You can choose your first and last name, any combination of initials, just your first name, a username or nickname, or nothing at all - but I need to know.
• Your written permission in the email allowing me to use the information you give me in an article on the website.
• What I'm Looking For:
• Your description of your win
• How you entered (mail, online, telephone, radio, drop box at a local grocery store, etc.)
• What you won
• Who the sweepstakes sponsor was, etc.
• A general idea of how often you entered: once, every day, a whole lot, etc.
• How you felt when you received the win notice
• How you and/or your family enjoyed your prize
• Any tips you can give others

You don't need to include every one of the things under "What I'm Looking For," but that list should give you a general idea. It's likely that I won't be able to include every response, but I will respond to each email. I'm looking forward to hearing about your wins!
