Share Your Wins for February 2009!

Sunday March 1, 2009
Hello, everyone! This is the first day of March, which means that it's time to start looking for win notifications from all of the sweepstakes that ended in February -- and to tell us about all of the great prizes that February brought to you.

For me, February was a slow month. I had an operation on my shoulder on February 2nd which limited the time that I could spend on my computer. That meant nearly no sweepstakes entries for me for a few weeks.

Nevertheless, I did manage to bring in a few instant wins, including free Chinese food from Wanchai Ferry and free candy from the Hunt for Yellow Sweepstakes.

How about you? What did you win in February? Click on the "Comments" button below to let us know, or to read about the great prizes that others have won last month.

In February I won:
3 Pace coupons $4 each
3 Mars candy bars $.89 each
1 Coke Cash Card $20

I am a recent convert to entering sweepstakes and am having a lot of fun entering and winning prizes. I have also read many “Sorry, Better Luck Next Time, So Close, If At First You Don’t Succeed, Please Enter Again Tomorrow” messages.
Reading your posted wins, inspires me to keep trying. Hopefully I can inspire someone as well.
I am looking to receive a $100 check from Digital Insight’s Play it Green sweepstakes win in January.
Best of luck to everyone in March!!

February was slow for me also. I won 3 jars of Pace (to go along with the 3 I won last month) & a box of books (ARV $208) from Harper Collins arrived from winning in their Fall 15 contest.

My first wins came in February. 2 Pace Salsa coupons, and I don’t know what to make of this one its a $25 ecard to Origins.com from the Fabulous savings contest. This is a confusing site. It links to almost everything on the web. If anyone knows what this is, I appreciate the help. Nonetheless, I am encouraged and excited to win anything at all. Come on March!

It was really fun! Now, I’m planning on winning the Mega Millions for 100,000,000.00 soon! Maybe it will even go up to 200,000,000.00 and I’ll win it then. I’ll just have to wait, I know bigger things are in store for me!
