Welcome, livinghappy! You have so much to learn and it's going to be fun and rewarding! The best advice I can give you to increase the volume of sweeps you are entering and save yourself some time and finger cramps is to send you to our forum. There are two places to go to: Sweepstake Strategies and Welcome to Sweepstakes Today. You'll find lots of helpful information from previous questions posted. Look through them and you'll be glad you did.
Since you aren't working now, by the way I am sorry you lost your job, you have time on your hands. Spend it learning and entering. Be persistent and diligent, and most of all, patient. You shouldn't expect to make a living on this. Sweeps take a while to run, then the winner is chosen, and then you wait for the prize to come. But you can certainly hope and wish and dream about that big prize! I wish you good luck and hope to see a winning post soon!
