Are you a online freebie and contest fanatic?

At first I was really hesitant and skeptical on joining contests specially online contests but the moment I won something which is somewhat huge- an overnight stay in a nice resort and I was really able to stay there for free.
Now I am in the lookout for online contests, promos and freebies online and hopefully I will get the chance to win. I know that the chances are slim but there is still a possibility that I will win and there's really nothing to loose because I don't have to shell out any money and I just do it on my free time.
How about you, do you like to join online contests and get freebies?

Yes, I am a contest fanatic. I go in search of websites with contests. I have won a lot of things (small prizes and dollars from My Cool Contests but just got a $10 deposit into paypal from them - accumulation of prizes). The biggest thing I won I guess was concert tickets to Avril Lavigne. Also won some gift cards, books and cash. I am still waiting for that big prize which I figure will have to come eventually.

You can't go wrong with My Cool Contests. The more people you have signed up under you, the more daily entries you have. There are daily draws as well as contests. iwon.com is a games site where I have won a couple of times.
Yes, I am definitely a fanatic.

I'm not quite a fanatic. But I do love onlie freebie.
And I've gotten quite a few.
I have two major sites that I go to for free things
Sometimes they send it, sometimes they don't.
I wouldn't say I'm a fanatic because I stopped using both sites for awhile now.
not sure as to why, but I might start back signing up for things.
happy mylotting!
peace and love!!

Yes I am crazy for free things. I visit all kinds of forums to get things for free. My Family calls me the Freebie Queen, sadly it fits me well. I get stuff all the time for no money and a little effort. Anyone can get what they want too. Good luck to everyone.

I am still skeptical about those sites. What website did you join? How did you win? And what's the name of the resort that you stayed in?

I am pretty fanatical about doing online sweepstakes. I have yet to win anything at all but I keep trying and have not let not winning deter me. I also do a lot of sweepstakes from magazines that I read. Of course you have to be careful with some websites, but that is really the case in anything you do online.

Never got into online contests but before I loved to Brazil I use to be a sucker for radio phone ins. Be the Number whatever caller and answer XYZ and win cool prizes. I use to live in Reno so there were always decent concerts, and even buffet meals to win. Never won the big cash prizes though.

No I am not a fanatic, not at all really. The first and last freebie I got on the internet was a football ( soccer) I only had to fill out my name and address. All my friends said it was save and they were right. I am the proud owner of a football!
In Holland it isn't so easy to get freebies as not much companies give them out. Even if you have a freebie they are mostly worthless. :)
