Sometimes living in the Land of Lincoln has it's advantages.
I first started entering sweeps on ST way back in October of '04. I didn't get my first affy win until April of '06 when I won a home theater system from the Toshiaba Hi Def sweeps ($4,499). I had a few small wins after that, like a golf club from the Golf Digest Great Golf Giveaway ($375) and the AT&T gift cards I won in the New Year, New Reviews Giveaway ($200), but still no affy wins.
Last month I saw a limited states sweep from Hy-Vee and added it to My Lucky List. On Monday, June 15th, the folks from Hy-Vee and a news crew came to my door and I had to pick one of three envelopes: RUN, SWIM or BIKE. I prayed that BIKE was the right one, opened it up, and won $5,000!!!
I would like to thank Mr. Sweepy and his staff for having such a fine website. I've been out of work since last October and I'm still looking for a job, so this win is very important to me. Thank you Mr. Sweepy for all you do!! Good sweeping everybody!!
