    Nope.

    So, how many do you enter each day, and how long is "quite a while"?

    You only joined in Feb.  I haven't won anything in months and months.  I enter over 100 every day on this site.  All I ever get is junk mail and it gets worse every day.

        I've seen some new members win within  3 months of joining & others (like myself when I started) win Nothing at all for 6-9 months. Some members start by winning small prizes or Like myself- winning their 1st prize with a value of $1,000 or more, after several months of not winning even a coupon.

    I found it to be a bit comical when I was in your position, but it does depend on many factors with the main one being your numbers or at least that's  what I was told when I did a similar posting to yours.

    Give it a chance. Your NOT a loser, your a winner in waiting, you just may not know it yet.

    Hang in there! I'm pulling for you

    You are just getting warmed up.  Many sweeps have not ended or winners have not been chosen from those that just ended in June.

    How you look at a situation is very important, for how you think about a problem may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. When you get discouraged or depressed, try changing your attitude from negative to positive and see how life can change for you. Remember, your attitude toward a situation can help you to change it -- you create the very atmosphere for defeat or victory.”

    Re: I HAVE NEVER WON A THING

    Well, when I started this in Feb., I mentally decided to give it a year and if nothing showed up, then I would abandon the hobby.  Fortunately, for me, I have had some small wins and am hooked for now.  I find reading the stories on the forum helps me. 

     I was amazed one person just now was being notified of a win from a sweepstakes which ended a year ago.  So, each entry, I think, who knows in a year what will arrive.  Probably not a great strategy for "instant gratification" people but it works for me!

    NORGIGI59   Sorry about that, I thought you just joined.  If I had been entering for 2 years and didn't win a thing I would have given up.  I'm almost at that point now.  I will say you have persistance and you need that.  And despite what everyone else says, I still say it's all luck and I am not lucky either.  I hope you win big!!!!!!  Once in awhile even us unlucky ones get lucky, so here's sending some lucky vibes your way!!!!1

    I agree with Jakemont...Norgigi59, you need to psych yourself out into knowing that you will win!  Somebody has to win, why not you?  I was a member six months until I won a Grand Prize to Vegas.  I was so sure I was going to win something nice, I created a file in my cabinet and labeled in Sweepstakes Winning.  Everyone laughed when I told them but I just had a feeling my stars were going to line up and my name would be selected!  Say goodbye to the "unlucky vibes" in your head and keep sweeping - YOU WILL WIN!!

    Good luck to you!!

    Seems really rough sometimes, but I know "the big one" is out there, trying to find its way to me and soon it will. I've only had small wins so far, But I have to reel it my way, too. So be careful when you enter, make sure you are following all rules, if its a one-timer, if its a 24 hr or weekly or monthly, then be positive u don't get disqualified by entering more often, and watch for state or age restrictions. If you really like the sweep, the prizes, then add it to "my Lucky List." If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have 1/2 the entries I do. Pick a time of day that u can devote to entering; its much more fun and relaxing with avoidable distractions. I like instants, because I feel, and its just my opinion, that I have a chance to at least win a small prize, and besides u know right then. Although those "awww" and "sorry" can get annoying and discouraging. But I spend an hr or more  a day (most days)entering the others too. Look at the bottom of the home page and click on the categories of sweeps that appeal to you most. Hang in there-we'll all hit "the big one" someday soon!
