Feeling Lucky Lately!

I hadn't been entering very many sweepstakes and contests for a while, but I recently have started up when I can. I stopped, not because I wasn't winning stuff, but because I was spending too much time on it. Now, when I can, I enter a few (or a few dozen) depending on the amount of time I have. For the most part, I have only been entering blog contests. I choose them because they are easy to enter, and the chances are higher. If there are a lot of entries (posts) I don't bother to enter unless I really want the prize. And, the other difference is I don't enter unless it is something I could really use.

WOW! I just finished assembling this post. Prior to January, my last Win email was in September. Since January, I have won more than a dozen prizes! Over $500 + a prize worth over $1500! That puts my 3 month total at over $2000!
