Goodness I have become a contest junkie! I am always entering contests online. It takes up a good portion of my day. I even wrote an article on online contests. You can find it here: http://webupon.com/web-talk/10-fun-and-easy-contest-websites/ The first contest websites (my cool contests) is awesome. I have won so many times. Though some of their prizes are small, you can always trade them in for a prize of equal value or even the cash. So it's only .25c sometimes, but those .25c add up. One day I won 3 times! Be sure to check that website out because they also pay google earnings, but they need more members. Click the title heading to take you there.
I've won a few things, mostly small, but hope to hit it big one day. I did win tickets to an Avril Lavigne concert. Should have checked it out first because after I won it was pointed out to me that the concert hall was in a different city 4 hours away so I had no use for them. I also won an Amazon gift card, as well as picture frames and a tote bag.
Is anyone else as nuts about contests as I am? Have you won anything? If so, what? Any new sites I should know about? Actually I should write a follow-up article because I have more sites to add to that list! I think I'm crazy!

I would not say I am going nuts entering cometitions but I do enter once in a while. I have won few things like books or things like that. Also I coffee maker (but put my husbands name on the entry so technicly it was him) also I won a family pass to the formula 1 races in Melbourne which was great as it was my husbands birth day and I gave them to him (he loved it I found it boring) and went all 4 days and took different people with him. As you are not in Australia I would not know where to look for more I had 1 but if I can find it I will let you know. Oh I did go nuts on the samples at one point.

I recently found a free sample website. They send me an email everytime they have new samples to share. I just recently got a nice box full of stuff (2 different shampoos, 2 different conditioners, face cream, tampons, pads, etc.). I also got an email for more so I'm looking forward to those coming in the mail.

It's so lucky of you to win so many prizes though they are small, you still feel excited about it, don't you?
Well, I seldom participate in any contests, simply because I always think I do not have the luck to win the contests. Perhaps I shouldn't think this way, I should try more then perhaps the chance of winning a prize will be higher, isn't it? I'll look into your article, so that I can learn some experience from you.
Thanks for sharing! ^_^

Hi Pat!
I wondered what you've been up to... now I know.
Congrats on the wins, and good luck in the future.

Entering on contests online are fun... If you win something. My friend actually won something from this link http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.monsterhuntercommunity.com%youtube%2F_tracking%2Ftrack.php%Ffbid%3D2220435e5d5%26vid%3DfQthbN0N9mY%26mtag%3Dfb&h=f658
He was so happy he won a plushie from his favorite game for the wii. I seen some live streaming bits of him playing and it seemed like a fun game. The plushie was so cuuuute!!!!!!
If I had a wii and that game, I could of entered. But you can feel free to give it to any gamer people you know. XD I'm more of the xboxing type of person who only touches their xbox on rare occasions since I spend more time working out and on the computer a lot. But it was pretty cool for someone that I know to win something. Last contest he did was sit there and count 400 something animals... He over shot the actual amount and didn't get the poster. :S Hmmmmmm...
Since this contest I found is in canada...

If I see people in that fill my plane contest, I surely will take them since it's more of an invite for those who are interested in traveling to JAPAN. ^^

I mainly enter writing contests. Though on the occasion I'll enter a contest to win something from a magazine that I subscribe to, but that's rare. I never win those, but I do win the writing contests. I tried to enter the Subway scrabble contest thing but won nothing. It's hit and miss, really. They're fun, though!

I hope you read the article I posted. I am trying to send my daughter to the Pan American Games in Puerto Rico and The World Championship Taekwondo Tournament in Belarus. I told the owner of My Cool Contests that one of the reasons I was cashing in on most of the prizes I won was because I'm trying to raise funds for these trips. Every penny counts. Of course I did accept some of the prizes! It's not often you will find a prize website that will let you cash in your prize for the money value.
