OK, guys, I need to hear some great winning stories. July was a slow, slow month for me. I won a bag of chips and a pen, except for a bunch of game add-ons I won from GameStop's Gamestock Sweepstakes (which is still going on).

Thanks for the forum and all your work! July was a pretty good month for me. I won a months worth of Odwalla juice (ARV $160 ish), Hilton Rewards points ARV $111 and also some bath soaps from Lucky, estimated around $66. Just so you get an estimate on the time the Lucky contest was from their April drawing.
I finally won a big prize. My entry in Edge Shaving Gel sweeps netted me $1,000.00. Funny thing was that I only entered once. Also won two minor prizes; a Chevron towel and a Sobe drink.
I won some uniball pens, I am looking forward to the fall when it seems there is so many contests, hopefully a better chance at winning. I keep hoping I will win a trip somewhere. Good luck to everyone for August, congrats on your winnings.
Hanes Socks from their Facebook Comfort Toe page–nice ones too!
ESPN T shirt from ESPN/Frosted Flakes.
Some gaming codes I guess you’d call them from GameStock
Shirt from Kikkoman’s Crank Up the Crunch
Several HSN Spin to Win coupons, but all require a purchase to be of value. So not really a WIN-win.
From Lunchables Never Be Bored Again, a movie download and a Littlest Pet Shop figure–grandgirls of course
And the best thing–a $500 check from WWJO Country 98. It was online, not call-in, and I worked for it answering trivia!
So a pretty good month. We’re not packing for Hawaii or anything but it was a fun month just the same, and there’s always August!
Luck to everyone this month.
Although it wasn’t listed on your site (not that I saw anyways), I won a pair of Smith sunglasses from the Mapmyride.com tour de france contest. First thing I have ever won.
I was able to snag a few wins last month. I went to a business expo and won a $50 gift certificate to Red Lobster. I won a STP weekly prize pack. I still hope to win the big prize a Mustang signed by Richard Petty.
I started sweeping July 5, this year and won these prizes:
$25.00 MasterCard from Camel Hympolyphics game
Movie download from Lunchables
Coupon for free bottle of tea from Teas Tea
Hot Tamales Candy from Hot Slots game
Beneful Dog Food from Purina
And, best of all…
An iPad and JanSport backpack from eBags.com (ARV:599.00)
I hope everyone wins an amazing prize in August!

I did not win a thing in July, but I did receive a sportsbag in July in the mail from Entemanns. I must have won it back in June, and I never knew. Good luck to everyone in August.
Congratulations on your sportsbag, Maria! Here’s hoping that some prizes will show up in August that you didn’t realize you’d won in July!
On the last day of July, I won a $500 gift card.
Wow, that’s a great way to close out the month! Congratulations!
July was a bit slow for me, but I am hoping for a winning August.

Latoya, I hope you enjoy the prizes you did win in July. Good luck for August!
July was a pretty good month for me in terms of smaller prizes. Funny thing is I haven’t been winning almost anything on sweepstakes from my dailies or one entry list.
