Stephanie Dee Answers Questions about HGTV Dream Home Win

Saturday March 22, 2008
HGTV sent a video team to ask Stephanie Dee, the winner of this year's gorgeous HGTV Dream Home, some questions that viewers had asked on the blog.

Stephanie answered one of the questions that I was most curious about, which was how did she enter, and how many times. Stephanie said that she did enter herself, and that she entered online, between five and six times a week. She also wanted to tell other sweepers that dream wins really do happen - that you never feel that you can win big sweepstakes like this one, but to keep on entering and that dream can come true.

To me, Stephanie sounds like she's following good sweepstakes advice. She entered on a regular schedule (I believe she said that she entered from work), but she didn't go overboard by mailing in hundreds of entries at high expense. She entered online, where not winning didn't cost her anything, but took advantage of the daily entries to get her odds as high as she could. If you want to see if you can match Stephanie's luck, check out the Daily Sweepstakes page today.
