lol I have the same reaction. Some of the best are on the Steve and Chris contests. Who knew winning an area rug could be so life changing?

I think saying it would mean more to me to win than everyone else is just rude.

Pick me, pick me! Your next winner!!! Show me the money!!! It would be a dream come true & means more to me than anyone else to win. :( Starving artist here desperately needs the $500 RW card to shop , to have fun, feel alive & inspired again. A life changing experience. Top of my bucket list. Thanks for the awesomeness, the contest, & generosity. Dear Santa: I’ve been nice. My X-Mas wish this year is to win this contest!
:D
That particular person has been entering contests for years, always with the same words, altho usually he also adds that he is "Hip, fly and off the chain". He enters a lot of video contests with the same shtick, wearing a toy stethoscope. Photos are always decorated with hearts and pig noses.
Personally, I think he is rather adorable.
Our charity didn't win (by votes) in the Natures Bounty contest, but we won just the same. We missed the top 3 by a few hundred votes, and Natures Bounty vitamins generously decided to donate $5000. to ME/FM Action Network anyway. They didn't have to do that- I am so impressed, and very grateful.

Just received an email from sunlight contest saying my instant win was not a win due to error. Oh well I will try again next week.

Thank you for your recent entry to The Sunlight® Lemon One™ contest. Due to the high volume of entrants during our launch weekend, it is possible that some users may have wrongfully seen a message stating that they were a potential winner of an instant prize. We apologize for any confusion this issue may have caused.

We have verified the instant win times in the database and have determined that you were not an instant prize winner during this time period. All winners received a skill-testing question and confirmation email. However, you can enter again THIS Week and every Week thereafter for more chances to win an instant prize and the grand prize package.

Provided that you have complied with the contest rules and regulations, you will receive an entry in the grand prize draw for the chance to win Maytag® appliances, Sunlight® products and MOLLY MAID® cleaning for a year.

so why do they make us keep the UPCs? Isn't it a free (NPN) entry?

Coming up on the end of this month and again, nothing at all regarding contests in my email folders. Pretty bad year so far. Repeat of last year where I could not win for 7 straight months...

Just got an email from the DoubleTree Hilton cookies contest congratulating me but the funny thing is it was a general template email with all the winners emails in the To: field clearly visible to all the recipients. 476 winners and some of them are very similar to one another. Maybe multiple winners in one household but it just seems odd to me.

Got the same email. It is odd that I see all the emails and others see mine.

I noticed today when clicking on the Land's End contest that it redirects through anrdoezrs.net. Is this an affiliate link?
Every time I see "Sr. Member" under my name...I feel really old :|
