I like to enter contests and take surveys online just hoping that I will win. I have in the past won small prizes like a t-shirt or a hat, but just recently I actually won $100. I was so surprised. I guess they say the more you enter the better your chances of winning. Tell me, what have you won online?

I have never won anything online, but that's because I almost never enter any contests. Normally I believe that most contests online are just scams, but every once in awhile i hear of people actually winning. However I always do believe that weather or not a contest is a scam, the only way to make money is to work for it. you can't get anywhere in life if you don't work for it, but needless to say winning a contest here and there is always great if you get something out of it.

Good point, you do have to work for a dollar. I also believe that we appreciate money we earn much more than money that is given to us.

Thank you all for your responses and hang in there. It sounds like some of you are like me and have won some smaller items. Maybe if you keep up the entries you will win a lot. A friend of a friend told me she wins stuff all of the time, but that is all she does all day long while her kids are at school. Someone has to win, right!!!

The only thing I can recall actually winning online was like a check for $5 from some survey club. They were trying to get me to join & gave me a free spin on some wheel & I won $5. But I think that's all I've ever won really, that I can remember anyway.

I've entered thousands of contests online and never won anything. Maybe some day.

Keep trying, I read books about people who were interviewed because they had won so much. The interviewer thought that they were just lucky people, the people said it was only because they entered every contest they came across. Good luck to you!!!
