What Did You Win in June, 2009?
I have to say that, for the first time in a long time, I didn't win anything in June. Nothing, nada, not a movie poster or a Coke gift card or even a stuffed Oscar Meyer wiener. My winning total for June is $0.
I'd like to say it's because I had a bad run of luck or to blame it on the sweepstakes available in June, but the truth is that I know exactly why I didn't win more -- I wasn't entering much at all.
June was a very busy month for me, and I had some fun new computer games to play, and, well, there are a lot of excuses. But they all boil down to the fact that my daily entries turned into weekly entries.
This is OK -- sweeping is a hobby, and like any hobby, there's no obligation to play when you don't feel like it. But that doesn't really lessen the sting of a whole month without prizes!
So I'm going to focus on my sweepstakes again in July. I'm pledging to make my daily sweepstakes a priority, and to try to have a month full of prizes.
What about you? Is anyone else feeling like they haven't been winning enough recently, and want to join me in my pledge to try even harder in July? Click on the "comments" link below to let me know!
And if you did win in June, 2009, click on the "comments" link and share your prizes, big or small. I could definitely use the motivation of hearing what the rest of you have won!

Nothing big this month but still several items: 2 tix to Ice Age 3 at our IMAX, a Joy Nash book & salt water taffy from Fresh Fiction.com, $10 Red Robin gift card, Omaha Steak coupon, a cooler bag from the Frozen Food Retailers Assn, Happeez notepads, and 2 more jars of Pace.
Do you know if it is ok to enter using a PO Box unless specifically told not too? Are you at a disadvantage or are there probelms when you do win something since you have to sign an affadavit and do you need to use a house address for that?
I had a lean month of winnings. I got a floppy hat from Aveeno and a prize pack from Longhorn and 3 chocolate bars from Mars.
Had a pretty slow month. Got a $20.00 coke card, two coupons for salsa from Pace, and three Mars chocolate bar coupons. I slacked off a little in my entering but still did okay.
It has now been a year since I started to enter online sweepstakes. I enter every day. I have won many small items with the most valuable around $150.00. In June I won a 3 night all expense paid trip for 2 to the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona Beach. Trip includes airfare, hotel, tickets to the NASCAR race, & motorcoach to and from the track. My best win to date!!! I also won a family 4 pack of movie tickets in June. Good luck to all and thanks Sandra for the great website.

After entering at least 20 sweeps a day for the past seven months, I have won nothing at all. Just a whole bunch of junk mail. I am getting frustrated with this.
This has been my best month yet! Although small prizes, it keeps me interested in trying for the “big” prizes. In June I won the Ipod Nano from Aloft, an AmericInn $100 gift certificate, and four Mars coupons. Sandra, thanks for all your encouragement.
June for me was so so. I received a surprise win in the mail from Lucky magazine, it was from their Tillia bath and beauty sweeps. You enter so many you forget about those. A couple of mp3 downloads from Hershey’s Rock your Block, A book from St Martins Press (wife and daughter loved the book) and yesterday when checking Woman’s Day to see if they had posted their wins yet, saw my daughter’s name on their winnings list for one of the Planet Earth-Earth Day Prize Package giveaways. Sandra I hope that July is good for all of us.
I won 50$ package from sc johnson, included 8 boxes of the new environmental zip lock bags cleaning sprays from toilet cleaners, shout,windex and all purpose cleaners, glade candles and a big ziplock tote
Just got back from my trip I won to Curacao. Actually won one of the 70 trips and it was wonderful.
I won a 25 dollar check, I don’t remember where I won it from.
Although this isn’t my win I will still be benefiting from it. My Dad won 10,000 dollars because I told him about GSN’s Big Saturday Night and he entered.
I hadn’t won anything for months, and June I won 2 tickets to see Ice Age (which made my daughter really happy to hear!).
We also got a few of those free candy bar coupons from the free chocolate Fridays offer from Mars.
I won a movie ticket to see Monsters vs. Aliens from Kid Cuisine, but I haven’t received the ticket yet and the movie is already out of theaters… so I’m not really considering that a win. LOL! I am, however, pleased that I won a lip balm from Burt’s Bees Wax. I know it’s only a $2.99 value, but it’s my favorite lip balm in the universe so I am beyond thrilled about that one!
I’m wondering how people win gift cards from Coke. The rewards program only lets me enter sweepstakes for big prizes…where do I go to enter for gift cards? Thanks!
Oh, and my only wins so far for June were 2 chocolate coupons…
In June I won, a $5.00 GC from Subway, 2 Pace salsa coupons, an electric razor from “m”, a signed I Carly DVD from Quizfest, deodorant from secret, DVD from Warner Bros., Magic Guord DVD from Quizfest, $5.00 GC from Chevron, and a coupon for a free pledge sweeper from a sweep last month (Animal Planets “Sweep Me Off to San Franciso”).
I have been entering about 20 contests a day (M-F while at work! haha) since about April. Haven’t had any big wins but in June I won a pair of Ice Age 3 tickets and a pair of tickets to Year One as well. I got so excited when I won the Ice Age 3 tickets. Haha. I’m not hard to please!
I won a download from Rascal Flatts and a candy bar. In repsonse to TB: I won a ticket once for a movie that had left theaters for The Tale of Despereaux and if you miss the movie you can use the ticket for a DVD of the movie or any other movie so that one may do the same.
I won 15 bucks from the Honeynut Cheerios spinner game, a month of fruit gels from Dole, 5 dollar gift card from Subway, 5 dollar Starbucks from Michelin/Facebook, a jar of La Victoria salsa, 1 month of unlimited game access in Pirates of the Caribbean online, 25 dollars from the GM game with the carts and finally I rounded out my free chocolate coupons.
I missed maybe 2 days this month and entered hundreds each day so even though they’re small, they paid off. I also won countless hours of pleasant daydreaming.
Best of luck in July…Nose to the grindstone, Sandra!
Have the prize notifications gone out yet for the big McDonald’s essay contest? I’m still waiting for mine……..
Nothing !
I won three instant wins in the coke twist text sweeps. Each win was for 2 movie passes. However my codes wouldnt go through and I have yet to find out if they will fix the problem. Highly doubting it!
I won 2 tickets to the movie UP and a five dollar subway card.
Almost nothing in June…I did get a Rascal Flatts song download, which I have no idea what to do with…I’m not computer savvy! And got a free candy bar although I don’t consider that a sweeps win, there was no luck or skill involved, just getting up early enough! It’s a little frustrating for me-I currently work 2 jobs to pay off some bills and so I can only enter stuff 3 or 4 days a week at most. Still hoping for that big win, though!
I haven’t won anything but the free chocolate bars but you just have to keep on entering. Someday you will win!!!! Good luck to all, and thanks for the site, Sandra. I love it!!!
Hello all, It is too early for all the notifications to come in but it is getting close. I just won the Hellman’s toaster in instant win, and got/getting: $50 check, $40 in coupons, two quad chairs, and ashtray, and something else all from Marlboro…send me the coupons if you do not use them..lol. 4 candy bars, pace coupon…quite good salsa. 800 bottle cap codes entered and 0 results from Coke, I am really disappointed in that website sweepstakes for a comapany as big as they are. Who won Chex Mix? Sweepstakes are lasting longer, more difficult to complete entry form and with multiple instant wins are taking much more time per day to complete. Let’s do this again next month. Thanks.

I had a good June, won an Ipod shuffle (don’t even know what it does) $2,000 trip to Virginia, and a drop in for $2,000 worth of Lane furniture at a local Kittles. I won this on my birthday. We had fun picking out new furniture.
I’ve been sweeping daily for over a year now without much luck. But June was very good to me. First I won $25. runner-up prize in Taste Of Home Beat the Heat recipe contest. Also, $100. runner-up prize in French’s Do you Have the Skinny on Mustard? recipe contest. I won a Longhorn Racing gift pack, in thier instant win game. But, my big surprize was winning a grand prize from Start Making Choices Smart Solutions contest my prize is valued at $5,000. Maybe my luck is about to change.
It has been a really huge month for me, for a change…. I have won a David Archuletta signed goodie gift bag from twist.com, MLB game day bag from In Touch magazine , Pur Minerals Pur Rocks and Pru Minerals Blush Makeup Brush from Lucky magazine, Twice I have won 2 Movie Tickets from the Coca-Cola ‘Twist Txt You Could Win Big Intstant Win, a digital wallpaper download from a Hubba Bubba Instant Win, One E-movie ticket from the Cartoon Network Super Summer Giveaway. I really must say though, I have never ever won like this in a single month, much less in a six month period, so don’t lose hope, winning does happen to the ordinary sweeper.
June: Jelly Belly BigBean Dispenser (came w/ 20 beans!), Rascal Flats song download, Coca-Cola $20 cash card (received), Mars chocolate coupon (received), and two Pace coupons. I’m still waiting for my Century 21 $10 gift card (due by last week), not to mention a *big* win.
June was my first month of sweeping (I’m a newbie.) Nothing so far. Not discouraged yet, good to see some people here are winning. Good luck next month everyone.
