I won a secondary prize in an Apples to Apples contest. I vaguely remember entering it awhile ago.
Prize = Apples to Apples board game.

Congrats to all on the new wins!

That's weird. I wonder why I just got the email today. Perhaps someone didn't claim their original prize. Lucky for me I guess.

Just when I was peeved about having to cancel my Niagara Falls casino weekend, and not having any idea of what to get my boyfriend for his upcoming birthday. It's too bad that they don't give any spending money... 'cuz I'm a tad broke after paying for a school. :o (Perhaps I'll win it big while I'm down there... ;) ).

Just curious... For prize trips...
Example
A prize trip for 4 to Texas
1000$ spending money
Various electronics/trinkets in a swag bag pack (1 for each travelling companion)
Due to some reason (and lack of friends :()
Would I be able to ask to change the grand prize to $1000 and a swag bag or would I be required to forfeit the entire prize?
What about going with a group smaller than 4?
I'll be able to ask the contest sponsors on Monday about the specifics of the prize but I figured I might as well ask what others have done.
It is the sole responsibility of the Grand Prize winner and his/her travelling companions to obtain all necessary travel documentation including passports and visas, as applicable and to comply with any customs and immigration requirements. Contest Sponsors are not responsible in the event winner and/or travelling companions are refused entry into destination country or re-entry into Canada for whatever reason. Grand Prize winner and his/her travelling companions must be able to travel at the times and dates as determined by the Contest Sponsors in their sole discretion and authority, failing which the Grand Prize will be forfeited. It is recommended that Grand Prize winner and his/her travelling companions obtain sufficient personal insurance prior to departure.
In the event the Grand Prize winner is under the age of majority, he or she must be accompanied by his or her parent or legal guardian at all times while participating in all components of the Grand Prize. In order to be entitled to accompany the winner on the Grand Prize trip, the winner’s guests must sign and return the release forms (and any other documents as may reasonably be required by the Contest Sponsors) by the date stipulated by the Contest Sponsors. The Contest Sponsors shall have no responsibility for trip cancellations, alterations, weather delays, weather cancellations or other changes to the trip itinerary and by accepting the Grand Prize, the Grand Prize winner acknowledges and accepts such risks. The Contest Sponsors do not assume responsibility should any portion of the Grand Prize be cancelled, delayed, suspended or rescheduled for any reason beyond its control. If for any reason an event included as part of the Grand Prize does not occur, that portion of the Grand Prize will be forfeited without additional compensation and the remainder of the Grand Prize will be awarded.

Hi Rchong, first congrats on such an amazing prize win.
At the beginning of the year I won a trip for 4 to Vegas and everything was set to go and then a friend backed out the day before we left. She was even offered credit with air canada for a year for the price of the ticket.
I think you could go with less people, or if you have enough time and you know exactly when the flights are you could always try to sell them.. like put a posting up on RFD and other community websites listing a ticket for sale from A to B then they just fly down with you. Then you get some more spending money out of it.
It would be a little more difficult as they are probably supposed to sign waivers etc, but just be up front about it and if someone really wants to go for a discounted price they will work with you.
Just an idea...

Congrats! Great prize. I know it is not the same thing but my first big win a couple of years ago was a trip to NY with a visit to a top stylist. Due to scheduling conflicts with this stylist, they suggested a travel voucher even though the rules indicated no cash value. Hope you can find something that works for you.

I was hoping to win one of the $1000 daily prize and not the grand prize because I have no idea how trip prizes work and I'm not exactly a fan of flying. :o
Approximate retail value of the Grand Prize is $21,636.00 Cdn
oh my god, lol. I'd ask if I could have 21 grand instead lmao

Winner checking in.....
I was the one of the winners (3rd, $600 value) of the Tom's Hardware System Builder Marathon Contest!
Had to deal with customs/fedex/contest company to get the taxes sorted out, company fixed it all and it's sitting next to me. Now to figure out what I'm going to use it for, haha :D
Little late on the response, but I haven't been around much. Maybe it's time to change that after this win.
Thanks RFD :cheesygri

Do you guys use your cell phone to enter contests or your landline phone? I use my cell phone, but I'm not sure whether I should start using my landline phone. The thing is, I'm afraid to miss a call if contacted as a grand prize winner due to bad reception or whatever when using the cell phone (I don't have messaging).
If a contest says they'll call and/or email grand prize winner, do they usually call, and if they can't reach you...do they simply not even email to contact you?

Mine was delivered by Canada Post but it wasn't sent out until Sept 21 so maybe they received complaints about the fees and changed their shipping methods. I'm glad I dodged the fees.

the email came from the Account Manager of IGNITE ACTIVATION
I don't know if this is for an M&M's candy contest, or an M&M Meat Shop Contest - the only M&M candy contest I remember is the Summer Fun Contest :confused:
ETA: I googled Ignite Activation, and I see they ran the Join the Hunt contest (I'm sure I didn't enter that one), so I guess it's logical to assume they also ran the Summer Fun Contest, which I DID enter - though the email says Long Weekend Promotion, and that doesn't ring a bell...

ETA: I googled Ignite Activation, and I see they ran the Join the Hunt contest (I'm sure I didn't enter that one), so I guess it's logical to assume they also ran the Summer Fun Contest, which I DID enter - though the email says Long Weekend Promotion, and that doesn't ring a bell...
It IS the Summer Fun Contest! I emailed back the answer to the STQ, and then they sent me the declaration form!
$10,000!
I'm in shock!! :eek:

I got the "10 days" too. The online message that I got after completing the STQ said "within 4-6 weeks" but the Prize Delivery Notice that they emailed immediately afterward says "10 business days of this mailing". I think maybe more people got this message but probably haven't bothered opening that email.

As for other comments about the STQ - the waiver we "signed" made mention of having entered a STQ when we entered the contest.

Couldnt you give the wood to a family member or something? Shame its just sitting there at least donate it to habitat for humanity. I dont get why you would just let it sit unless you have plans for it soon? Or you could just try selling it. Thats your best bet.

Talk to your landlord, some of them are wiling to upgrade their investment with a small price. Or, exchange the flooring to any friend/family's liking they can use (even you said it is not enough to fill a room, they can buy more of it themselves).

The Lindt Chocolate win must have been a redraw, I saw in this thread that most people won the same prize back in August. I was surprized not to win then because there were 100 prizes of the chocolate prize being given away and I had entered every day.
Oh well, better late than never :)

Not much, but pretty good, considering that I was on vacation 3 weeks in Spetember, and didn't enter any contests in that period:)

Oct 6th, 2009, 04:20 PM
But just going by rfd I enter roughly 70-80 " daily enters" and most new "one time" entries everyday. So probably enter 700 in about 2 weeks time and if it wasnt for the intstant wins (which 80% of my wins have come from) id figure my percentage is probably closer to 1for 7000 enteries.

If you count daily contest entries I probably enter around 2100 contests a month!
I figure I have around 70 daily contests I enter every day (it's beginning to annoy me, even using roboform it's time consuming). I enter that every day for 30 days, add on the new single entry contests and it's probably around 2000-2200 a month!
I do NOT have much to show for it either. I will probably stop entering as much as I do since it takes about 30 minutes to go through all the contests every day using roboform/manually filling out the flash forms.

At the bottom of contest posts there is a red 'Thank You' button that you can click. I also use it as an indicator of whether or not I've already entered that contest since once clicked it changes to 'You've already thanked this person' or something like that.

Welcome to RFD, and you will eventually win if you are persistent!
I average about 1 win every 2 months, which I think is pretty decent for the amount of contests that I enter. Although, that number is different for everyone. If you take someone like Bidchka, he probably wins at least twice a week!

Not to be cliche in regards to contests you will never win uinless you enter. I chalk some of my wins to part of the fact people do not enter because they never figure they will win. To cite this I won a trip once and found out later that aside from me only 3 others entered. If that is not crazy enough there were 3 runner up prizes and one of them was not old enough I got a runner up prize as well.

Thanks.
I only enter the contests with one set of info and only however many times it says I can enter during the contest period.
It seems very unusual that people who enter relatively the same amount of contests ( and usually the same ones) as I can win at an unusually higher rate.

I can't speak for others but I always follow the rules. What's the point in winning if you stand to lose the prize by cheating?

I follow the rules exactly. If its a daily entry, once a day I enter. If its a one-time entry, I enter one-time. If they allow someone under 18 to enter, my daughter enters too.
I don't want to waste time getting disqualified.

That must be a record, good stuff.
I'm with you, takes a little while to read the rules on new contests, but it sure would be awful to be d/q on a win. When I first started entering I thought I would just enter a few contests and cleverly :cheesygri didn't keep track of them so I think I may have entered a few of them twice and would have been d/q had I won. Now I try to keep track and its great to get advice from people here on how they do that.

Wow! Amazing! How many contests do you enter a day? Congratulations on your recent contest success.
Thanks - I work full-time so I usually only average about 1.5 hours a day on contests including reading posts in RFD. That would probably be somewhere between 30 and 50 daily entry contests and maybe a dozen single entry.
I usually don't get a winning streak like this... maybe an item every month or 6 weeks, and lots of times months will go by with nothing at all. And trip contests continue to evade me. Over 3 years of dedicated contesting and not so much as a trip to Halifax, lol!
Thanks everyone - for all the congratulation messages, and good luck RFDers!

Has anyone ever been contacted by Priority One mail regarding a parcel from a contest they have won? I just got home and I had a message saying that they had something for me and when I called back there was no company greeting, just a message saying for me to leave a message. I am kind of thinking it might someone trying to sell me something. I can't reach them until Tuesday because of the holiday. My imagination is running wild with the possibilities of contests I could have won. Thanks in advance for any thought you guys might have.

the only contest I can think of is the $25,000 one, but the rules say:
On or about October 10, 2009 in Toronto, Ontario, one (1) entrant will be selected by a random draw
THE SELECTED ENTRANT WILL BE NOTIFIED BY TELEPHONE OR E-MAIL NO LATER THAN THURSDAY OCTOBER 10, 2009
however, Oct. 10 is a Saturday...
I'd be getting nervous though, because if it IS for that contest, I know that some contests will only call a max. of 3 times before moving on to someone else...
or it could be a telemarketing call, and they got your number from your contest entry...
that's all I've got...LOL

Yes, 1-800-387-7558. I am not their customer and all my banking use my home phone number. I leave a message in their recording machine. I'll see when they call back. (everytime they called I was driving, can't get my phone from handbag fast enough)

I don't think the call is about a contest because if it was it would be a promotional company, not TD, making the call. They could have gotten your number from the contest, and called you based on that. I hope you win something, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Well folks, this will likely be my last post in these forums. I made a rather innocent post in someones Buy and Sell Thread and was smacked with a 3 day ban for threadcrapping.
I sent what I thought was a reasonable and logical message of protest for not even getting the benefit of a warning, but it has been ignored. I will probably be banned again for posting off topic and for whining about my ban.
Yes, I did make a comment about the persons price and technically, I did break the rules. But the tone of the message was friendly and was a result of my recent attempts to sell a laptop which didn't go so well, so I suggested their asking price might be too high. I was trying to help. I should have PMed, but I didn't, so the rules were broken. I do not deny this.
What burns me up about the whole thing is that I have seen plenty of people behave very badly in these forums and not make any effort to contribute anything good, and yet they don't seem to be banned for this behaviour. I break the rules once and am slapped with a three day ban for it. A wonderful way to instil a sense of community!
It's been fun, and I have enjoyed dealing with many of you and it is my hope that I have contributed something to the community. I thank everyone for their contributions, which have benefited me with some nice contest wins, as well as some pretty decent deals. Your efforts are appreciated.
I will probably still check the forums out (assuming I'm not permanently banned for criticizing the rules) to see what the veterans are up to, but from this point on I shall be silent lest I incur the wrath of the RFD gods.
Good luck with the contests and with the deal hunting! A lurking I will go! :|

We saw it at the AMC theaters too, (we were all the way in the back middle) :p
Yeah.. at first I thought the kid had mental issues or he was a future serial killer or something.
Then he takes some random boat to some random island with NOTHING explaining WTF is happening or where he is.
It'd be worth my time if I won one of those WB prize packs.

Well folks, this will likely be my last post in these forums. I made a rather innocent post in someones Buy and Sell Thread and was smacked with a 3 day ban for threadcrapping.
I sent what I thought was a reasonable and logical message of protest for not even getting the benefit of a warning, but it has been ignored. I will probably be banned again for posting off topic and for whining about my ban.
Yes, I did make a comment about the persons price and technically, I did break the rules. But the tone of the message was friendly and was a result of my recent attempts to sell a laptop which didn't go so well, so I suggested their asking price might be too high. I was trying to help. I should have PMed, but I didn't, so the rules were broken. I do not deny this.
What burns me up about the whole thing is that I have seen plenty of people behave very badly in these forums and not make any effort to contribute anything good, and yet they don't seem to be banned for this behaviour. I break the rules once and am slapped with a three day ban for it. A wonderful way to instil a sense of community!
It's been fun, and I have enjoyed dealing with many of you and it is my hope that I have contributed something to the community. I thank everyone for their contributions, which have benefited me with some nice contest wins, as well as some pretty decent deals. Your efforts are appreciated.
I will probably still check the forums out (assuming I'm not permanently banned for criticizing the rules) to see what the veterans are up to, but from this point on I shall be silent lest I incur the wrath of the RFD gods.
Good luck with the contests and with the deal hunting! A lurking I will go! :|
Your post was reported that's why you got banned. Other people's posts were not reported and that's why they're not banned. Don't be such a cryababy, stay on RFD...don't lurk. People lurking on RFD give me the creeps. Hahaha. :D

There's nothing worse than getting punished for trying to be helpful, ouch. I can understand how you feel. I'm fairly new here myself and I've seen some nasty posts in the Future Shop Contest that deserved a slap on the hand.

Best not to even waste time in the B&S forum. People are always asking too much or have unreasonable demands. And if you dare make an offer that they don't like, you're a "lowballer". The way a B&S is supposed to work, is someone makes an offer to which your reply with a counteroffer. If the person is asking way too much, its good form to tell them so, and if they don't agree, who counter as to why. I was totally blown away when I found out there was a rule against pointing out that a person was asking too much. It was absurd. Don't think I've even been in that forum this year, and I've never traded a thing there in eight years. Traded thousands in Craigslist and Kijijji though.
BTW, the RULES are very iron handed. But this should all in a different thread in another forum.

We are giving away 300 TASSIMO Coffee Systems and picked YOU to get this innovative machine for free.
Why? Because you love to drink and talk all-things coffee and tea. And when the TASSIMO Team did a search for active bloggers and Social Media enthusiasts in Canada who do just that, you were within our top list. So we thought you’d love the TASSIMO Coffee System as much as we do.
When you try your TASSIMO, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it! It is the ‘one cup at the touch of a button’ coffee system that makes the perfect lattes, cappuccinos, coffees and other café style drinks you love, every time. How? Our Patented Barcode Technology locks each brand’s precise brewing instructions into each T DISC’s barcode. The machine reads the code and then presto… perfection every time.
So sit back and enjoy your favorite cup, and if you like what you see and taste, join the conversation about TASSIMO. Go on…tell your friends and family about it. We’re surely telling ours!
To get this amazing coffee system, please send us your home or work address ( if you’re a resident of Canada and over the age of 18 ) and in 3-4 days we’ll send you:
• A free TASSIMO Coffee System
• A starter pack of T DISCs, including Starbucks ® , NABOB Coffee, and TWININGS Tea
• Exciting updates to keep the TASSIMO conversation going
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at my below office number.
We look forward to sharing a cup with you!
Sincerely,
The TASSIMO Team

But still, it seems that to use it, I'd need to actually buy something more expensive, and get 25$ rebate.
Do you guys also get the same 'win'?
I suspect this could be a 'win' for anyone who enters.

Hey maybe I am not following this contest right. I thought you had to follow them, tweet them a message advertising their contest or whatever and hope you get chosen and get a DM from them. Are you saying you have to wait for them to follow you, than DM them something in order to enter the contest?

if you look closer tassimo is following since over 1 day 370 people. so he followed nobody in this time. look at his following,and you see when he added new followers to DM these!maybe he was not working yesterday,to busy or there are no tassimos left.

thanks, i spend app. 2 hours a day for contesting. i enter not every daily contest, most just the instantwins. and i enter just contests where i need the prizes.
i don't need tickets for concerts,or a book what i'm not interested in.
this is my first big tv.i really have just a small one. the tv is from the time we came to canada. :cheesygri my husband and my wish was a bigger tv.... but never had the money for such a big thing. now we won. we are soooo happy about this tv....nobody can believe this. this is a prize we really wanted.
the 1000$ we will save for a small vacation next year here in canada. i don't need to go to hawaii or so, canada is like a vacation for me. we are new here and here is so much to discover.
i think i enter more daily/weekly contests and not so much once. i love contests with UNIQUE pincodes or UPCs.
oh,and btw i won today the Rubiks Touch Cube (150$) at Twitter. but i had 1 hour to tweet the same thing without a break....lol

thanks, i spend app. 2 hours a day for contesting. i enter not every daily contest, most just the instantwins. and i enter just contests where i need the prizes.
i don't need tickets for concerts,or a book what i'm not interested in.
this is my first big tv.i really have just a small one. the tv is from the time we came to canada. :cheesygri my husband and my wish was a bigger tv.... but never had the money for such a big thing. now we won. we are soooo happy about this tv....nobody can believe this. this is a prize we really wanted.
the 1000$ we will save for a small vacation next year here in canada. i don't need to go to hawaii or so, canada is like a vacation for me. we are new here and here is so much to discover.
i think i enter more daily/weekly contests and not so much once. i love contests with UNIQUE pincodes or UPCs.
oh,and btw i won today the Rubiks Touch Cube (150$) at Twitter. but i had 1 hour to tweet the same thing without a break....lol
and i won on facebook a 25$ futureshop giftcard on tuesday. and last night from cadbury the cinema-giftcertificate(40$) it was the oneformeoneforyou-contest.
Wow congrats on all the wins!
Which contest was the Rubiks cube one from? I'm assuming it's over now? Who were you following for that one?

I got my GC today. I'm afraid you won't be able to use online despite what the contest company says.
Yup, I got my card today too and it has the exact same message on the back (not reedemable online). Ahhh well, I guess I'll try to swap it for something else on BST. In any case Bidchka, you brought me some other good news today to compensate for this not-so-good one ;)
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE for the congratulations! I'm sooooo thrilled, although now it'll be extra hard for me to maintain my slim figure with all that food :D

Congrats Mystic! Its nice to get something really needed or wanted.
Me too, I am a single parent who struggles sometimes, and so I would never spend money on a fancy TV, but in past two years I and my daughter have each won a 32 " HG TV... so now we have one in the living room (thanks to Pepsi), and one in her bedroom (thanks to TheScore.com) for her to enjoy :) Its a big treat for us. Also in our technology contest winnings warchest are an ipod, xbox, dvd player and my most recent win of a Wii and limited edition RockBand game thing... my daughter doesnt know about this win, the Wii and game, it will appear under the Christmas tree!
So, maybe you will come visit the East Coast on your vacation? Try to win yourself one of those Halifax trip contests... its a beautiful city to visit :) Good luck!

I am crossing my fingers and toes for you. I hope you win!!
Last night I got back from a similar event put on by a radio station for a trip to see Pearl Jam in Philadelphia. I came second!!!
Once we got narrowed down to 6 people, out of the 37 or so that qualified, we had to dig for a tiny pearl in a jar of jam lol. (Get it, pearl jam? haha) If you found one you would go to the next round, elimination style. It was fun, there was free booze and finger food also.
We were also all given a T-shirt, Pearl Jam CD and a free pass for 2 to see SAW 6 prescreening.
Sounds like if you win that would be an amazing prize!!!

Won $104 worth of Lotto Max and a $100.00 Futureshop gift card from a local radio station today
Just won a $10.00 Starbucks card in the Winner Every Hour contest
I love the radio wins. I flip between 4 stations at work. A co-worker and I usually flip back and forth on two stations each listening for our 'cue to call'. I think I am going to invent a radio with two tuners :)
One station in Niagara Falls (105.1 The River) is doing the Lotto Max + FutureShop contest in a stupid way. On Friday mornings they announce a winners name (from those who subscribe to the email newsletter) and they have 10 minutes 51 seconds to call back, or they draw another name. I like callnig in!
Does anyone else here live in the Niagara region and listen to 91.7 GIANT FM? They are running a contest where once a week they give away $1,000, and sometimes an additional prize. You enter online or by phone when you hear them play a 'classic rock double shot' (same artist back to back). I usually get half a dozen a day. Maybe we can collaborate if anyone else is listening.

According to my files, they will also be invited to enter exclusive prize draws for a chance to win over $500,000.00 in cash and prizes. In accordance with official rules and regulations, all eventual winners must be notified by you. Please forward this information.

I got the same thing too and went through all the rules. It appears it's kind of legit (in that there are actual prizes to be won) but not until 2011. They basically want you to agree to receiving this book about love (at which point they send you more books at a cost of $28.99 each until you stop the service) for additional entries into the contest.
So yeah. No real win or anything. Just an attempt to trick you into paying for additional entires into their contest.

Hi, I got 2 wins to report from the last few weeks:
1) October 5th: 2009 Choose Your Dream Secondary Prize: Release & Dischargeâ€
On behalf of Quaker-Tropicana-Gatorade and Loblaw banners, I would like to congratulate you on being drawn as a potential secondary prize winner in the 2009 Choose Your Dream contest!
I think they choose a grand prize winner from secondary prize winners, don't they? If so, good luck!!!!!!
Correction: they say "Secondary prize selected entries will be re-entered for the grand prize draw. " So not only from secondary prize winners.

Thanks, but when it comes to shoes I really prefer to try them on before buying them, especially if they're somewhat pricey. No worries, I was planning to visit my sister in Vancouver anyway :).

I think that normally it can only be redeemed in-store, but this is a special circumstance given that they have no stores in Quebec and yet this was their prize in a contest open to Quebec, and so they made an exception. That's my guess, anyway.

I have a Mac, and I use Autofill Forms, add-on for Firefox. (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4775)It's amazing, because you can set your own rules, on what to fill. I can even say, for example, on yummy mummy site, fill the textbox with name 'input7' with "Sensible snacking". That is, when the website requires some specific info. I also love it that Autofill Forms works well with checkboxes. You can set all the ones that have 'subscribe' in their name, to be unchecked, or the ones with 'rules', to be checked. Very, very good tool! Works on Windows too, by the way.
For Flash forms, i use TextExpander, you just have to preset abberviations,
for example I would type one letter 'p', and it would automatically expand it to Paulina. I type '1', and it expands to 1979. Works like magic, very efficient filler for flash forms!

Hmmm... another option! I guess which one is most useful depends on what kind of contests you enter most. You can save the settings for contest sites to login cards in 1Password, very like roboform. There it will remember whatever checkboxes and fields were set to when you saved the login. However, the autofill options are limited to basic fields: name, address, birthday, etc. Custom fields can be saved for individual logins, but the global autofill categories are more restricted. They working a new version of the program for snow leopard, so I don't know if that's been improved. Maybe we should suggest it ;). The nice thing about 1Password is that it doesn't require any programming, for the lazy among us ;). It just saves what you did and does it again.
For flash forms I just use copypaste. I have all my fields saved to shortcuts, and I just use them to fill in the information. I may check out Textexpander too, later;).

I just got a phone call, and I won a $25 Zehr's GC. Pretty good since this is the first one I've done in about 6 months!

Question about the Lindt contest.
Anyone, other than the grand prize winner, have received their prize ?
The contest has ended a LONG time ago.
I see there are still new winners which is strange.
These new winners seem to receive a phone call while the first winners received an email. If I remember correctly we had to confirm via a website.
Now...I'm wondering if there wasn't a bug in the confirmation web site...that could explain the multiple redraws.
I'm starting to believe that I will never receive my chocolate :(

Question about the Lindt contest.
Anyone, other than the grand prize winner, have received their prize ?
The contest has ended a LONG time ago.
I see there are still new winners which is strange.
These new winners seem to receive a phone call while the first winners received an email. If I remember correctly we had to confirm via a website.
Now...I'm wondering if there wasn't a bug in the confirmation web site...that could explain the multiple redraws.
I'm starting to believe that I will never receive my chocolate :(
Funny indeed, my 'unexpected-at-this-late-date' winning email and confirmation via website was just 2 weeks ago....

Someone send some of their luck to me! The biggest prize that I could use in 4 years of contesting was worth 175-200 bux! (Pepsi flip mino)
I'm going to win that 100k from Cadbury.

I am surprised you would not buy it. One in a lifetime opportunity. It will go up in value as well to collectors. The pins that only torch bearers can get on already going on Ebay 2 to 3 times the selling price.
Let me buy it, I will even pay to have it shipped to me.

I am also running with the torch and don't think I will be purchasing the torch afterwards. It is way too much money for my blood! But lots of pictures will be taken and I am sure the memories will last a lifetime. Plus, what else would I do with that torch anyway, it would just collect dust :lol:

Sell it on Ebay, I am sure there are plenty of people that would love to buy it considering only a torch bearer can buy it.

I'm in Ottawa, way more than an hour away :P so I doubt it was based on "local" postal code - however, it may have been limited to Ontario only.

I got a phone call today from A news in Barrie. She said I was a potention winner in the Marble Mountain Ski Resort Contest and gave me a skill testing question, which I got right. She asked if I had read the rules and then said to watch A news at 6 to see if I won, and Bob would be announcing it.
This made me think there were a bunch of names being drawn. But then I read over the rules again and it says: On or after October 23, 2009 at approximately 2:00 p.m., a random draw for the Prize will take place at 'A' Barrie/Toronto, Barrie, ON from among all eligible entries received during the Contest Period. The first entry drawn will be eligible to win the Prize.
So it makes me think maybe I have already won and they want me to watch to find out?? what do you guys think?

Maybe they had to get the skill-testing question out of the way before they could announce it on air and they want you to be real excited when they say you are a winner. As in, it wouldn't do for you to say, oh, I already knew that.

This was rapid! Won as a weekly prize in the SC Johnson weekly cleaning contest thingee two weeks ago!
The prize is going to be a Christmas present for my daughter, and I clearly marked on release forms to deliver it to my work address... they even stated in the release form to do so if no one would be home to accept the delivery... yet it came to the house, and then over to the neighbours when I wasnt home. Good thing the daughter wasn't home when my neighbour came over with it :) Awesome prize! Thank you SC Johnson!!!

They didn't mentioned the size in the email for me:(
It should arrive in 8 weeks, they said.
Hm, on their site, they have many different sizes for each rug, so I have no idea:( Maybe it'll be a 2 x 3 one:)

I feel sympathetic for you, I've entered so many contests since I started around Feb-March but haven't won a single one. I'm not discouraged though.

Oct 26th, 2009, 11:06 PM
I feel sympathetic for you, I've entered so many contests since I started around Feb-March but haven't won a single one. I'm not discouraged though.
I'd like to comment on your post.
My ratio of wins/entries is 1/880 right now.
So, you have to enter many, many contests, if you want to win.
I guess entering local contests and those with very good odds (like video contests) gives you the best chance of winning. Shift your focus to those, and you might just be more lucky!
The phone that I won is the best win so far, but I spent 4-6 hours creating/writing music/editing video for it, so it wasn't that easy.
Every contest that takes so much effort has very very good odds.
I haven't been contesting long enough to give quality advice, but here's my 10 cents:
Don't get discouraged! Start by googling "radio stations in <your city>", to start. Then, google newspapers, and local shopping malls.
On their websites, they will have many contests available for locals. Also, with radio, there are blogs online, who's owners listen to the radio all day and graciously share the secret codes/bonus words there, every day.
You just have to use those bonus codes on the radio stations websites, to enter contests. Many contests will only require those codes, no call-ins.
A very good niche is also newspapers in your city. Actually, I think you can participate in contests from newspapers in the same province. There are also sources online, sometimes blogs, that give you the secret codes.
With shopping malls, most contests are administered at the customer Information Desk, which you can visit personally, or email them, to inquire about current contests.
I also like entering ticket/concert giveaways, at my city's Concert Hall's web-sites. Like in Ottawa, we have a Scotiabank Place Center, which holds all sorts of concerts and events, and they always have giveaways on their website. Or National Arts Centre in Ottawa, often has contests for ballet tickets+parking+$100 dinner. Look for similar things in your city.
There are also other techniques, like entering instant wins at 3.30-4.30 am in the morning, and such, but I don't know them all yet:)
About the fact of not winning in a while, I suspect there exist big contest end dates in a year, like Dec31. So, within 2 months after those dates everyone is winning more. So you just have to keep entering, and wait it out. Not sure if that's true though. Others might comment on this.
And, keep a good routine. I think, everyone here has one. If you enter about 100 contests a day, you're sure to win something very soon!
Good luck, and keep up the enthusiasm!

Just a bit of advice from a long time contest entrant and winner. First and foremost do not let contest entering overtake your life, do not enter just for the sake of entering after all what would it like winning a prize you cannot use, have fun entering and if you win thats gravy but finally do not opt not to enter a contest because you do not think you wil win. I do not think in some cases of winning is not just a case of luck but a bit of odds. I once won a trip through a tv station and I found out after the fact aside from me only 3 others entered.

I agreed totally.
If I have time, I entered. My family - my kids always come first. I won't be waking up in the mid of the night for better odds, I have to function during the day. I don't want to spend more than an hour daily to enter contest. I don't feel any entitlement to win. If I do, I am happy. If I don't, no biggie.

Yesterday I won the daily prize, the Kinder play kit. This morning I received a call from our local paper and I am one of the 16 qualifiers to win a brand new 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer SE. In Dec we go to the dealership and will each have a key and I will pray I have the key that starts the car. Nice to hear first thing in the morning.
I am crossing my fingers for you. Wish you best of luck!
And Congrats to all winners!

wow the amazing prizes keep rolling for RFD, congrats everyone.
After a FOUR (4) month + 1 day wait I finally got my headphones from the Mike and Ike contest today. I was super happy, it was just like winning all over again.
I know the feeling, in the beginning of October 2008, I won headphones in the Lord of the Rings instant win contest and they were delivered in the middle of May. Rules stated prizes would be shipped at the end of March when the contest ended. zzzzz
Excellent wins here lately and it sounds as though there will be a car winner here soon! Fingers crossed, I know we can make it happen!

Well, we didn't win the London Trip contest, but thanks for all of your good wishes. In one way it makes life somewhat easier for us, as there would have been a conflict (and hard choices to make) because the trip is scheduled for the same day the daughter is a Torchbearer. So thanks again everyone, we did win a gas card in this contest, and there will be other contests we'll win! :)

Normally I wouldn't post such a small win, but the well has been dry for several months so I'll take what I can get.
I won a Mini NBA Notebook & Pen in the Cheesy's Lucky Lunchbox contest.
For a brief moment I thought I'd won an actual notebook computer, and then I saw pen and realized it was an old school notebook that doesn't crash and has limited write once ability (unless you use special a writing tool - pencil and eraser) ;)

why i'm greedy? i vote every day...if i have luck then i win...if not then not.after you win at pepsi, it says" come back tomorrow to vote and for another chance to win...i did that.
is it not allowed to vote every day?
i never win in the shaw contest...no cleaner no rug, others win 2 rugs.
whats your problem? i never won the kinder contest, i have no luck to win a backpack from wonder and so on. bob won already i think over 10 tegos....emma or was it emjay? won 3 mittens from wonder, i won nothing there.i have no luck with kozy shack. do i say they are greedy? nobody says anything about other multiple winners....
i will shut my mouth again with my wins. thats it.
if you had luck and would win every day at pepsi then you would not say so things...thats not a community like you said, here so envy people.... can't believe this.

I appreciate people posting multiples wins. I usually enter contests which people post multiples wins. It lets me know I'll probably have a very good chance of winning too, and I do win. :cheesygri
I don't know why people have to make negative remarks about how many stuff some people are winning. What is the difference if you won $1,000, $10,000, or $100,000 cash in a contest? Should you stop entering any other contests because you've already won too much? Would entering more contests to win more money make you greedy? Who cares? If you take the time to enter and win, then you deserve your win(s). Contesting is a very time consuming hobby, and if you win then congrats because you deserve it.
How much is too much? Who cares. Seriously, just congratulate the winner. :)

Wow, is it necessary to insult someone for having good luck? That is certainly not community spirit. Mystic is playing by the rules and happens to be winning which is obviously resulting in many shades of green for some people. I could understand your ire if someone was openly playing for something they didn't want but that is not the case here. She has every right to vote once a day like the rest of us, to try for the jersey. I would like to win the jersey too and if I win 10 cheer packages to enter, then so be it. At this point, one would be nice, but I certainly don't begrudge anyone else because I'm not winning. If you want to do something about it, contact Pepsi and complain about their rules. Personally, I am amazed at Mystic's luck and I think she puts a lot more into her contesting strategies than most of us and it pays off. Keep it up Mystic because whatever you're doing is working. If you don't want to post your wins, please PM them because I, like Waiting, enjoy seeing them.

ANd also a big thank you to everyone who is so generous in sharing contests and of course those needed upcs!!

Each person has an opinion, and frustration sometimes becomes vocal.Everyone loves to win, but whats the use of winning multplies of the same prize?:confused: I can see people donating,and its great to do so,to the unfortunate.Anyway I can see how some become annoyed and he was just one of those that put it in writing. Good luck to ev1 and may the prizes be plentiful;)

I can understand how it gets frustrating to see other people win multiple times on a contest and some can't win at all. I am in that boat, I am bad luck at instant wins, but it's not anyone's fault. They just have good luck. Better someone in this community win over and over than someone else we don't know!!
If I am not winning it, it's nice to see someone else here win. Multiple wins are nice, especially in hard economic times. You can use them as gifts!! Congratulations everyone and here's crossing our fingers for more wins!

Oh yea its totally frustrating to not win when everyone around you is winning in a contest. With Kinder, I enter for the grand prize, and the small instant wins are a bonus. I can't help it if I WIN :cheesygri
Odd how someone will ASSUME it is greed, as I said before there are many reasons someone might be winning something more than once. And I agree with what others have said, don't read this thread if you don't want to hear about multiple wins.
Goodluck everyone and keep up all the WINNING!!!

aww that sucks :/ Rules can bite you in the bum sometimes or be on your side. In this case it bit you. I think they want a 13 year old so she/he can interview the cast of Twilight and probably some legal mumbo jumbo for age requirements on that.

You recently entered the “Wrigley C.H.E.W. To Go!†presented by Wrigley Canada.
We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected as a potential winner of a Panasonic Blu Ray Disc Player.
To be declared a winner and in accordance with the Official Rules we must send you a Declaration and Release Form.
Please respond to this e-mail on or before October 9, 2009 with the following information:
· Full Name
· Your complete mailing address and postal code
Upon receipt of your personal information we will send by mail your Declaration and Release Form. You must then return the Form on or before the due date indicated within the Release Form.
Upon receipt of your Release Form, we will verify the Release Form and if you meet all the requirements you will be declared a confirmed winner!
We will then send you, your Prize within 45 days of the due date on the Release Form.
If for any reason you will not be responding to this e-mail, please notify us.
Thank you for participating and looking forward to receiving your information.
Yours truly,
The independent contest organization.
I replied with the info they asked, never heard anything and never received the release forms. 2 Weeks later I replied again to ask about the status of my win and heard nothing. A week after that I check the homepage for the "independent contest organization" and directly emailed the only contact listed to ask why nobody was answering my emails - heard nothing. Then I contacted Wrigley's on their website and they responded that I had to call them instead. So I called and they told me they would talk to the independent organization directly. This was last week and I still haven't heard anything from anybody.
This was my first internet win of anything over $50 - I was so excited and so far it has been an awful experience. Any ideas on what I should do next? Should I wait some more? I've heard of people waiting a long time to get their prizes, which I don't mind, I'm just worried b/c they never sent the release forms.

LOts of nice wins here. Ive been an a dry streak lately. Hope to be back in a big way soon :D
and then you won, congratulations!
I'll try that too, Spidey, because I have been thinking the same thing, a wee bit of a dry streak and I have yet to win a first prize, ever. Always the bridesmaid.... Also, I may be the only person in Canada that hasn't won a Tassmimo, :( Say it ain't true.
But, yesterday my son, who is away at university, won a second prize, a Zune 120GB, ($199.00) from the Microsoft Back to School contest that ended on Sept. 30. I think he bought something from Microsoft and the winner had to be a student in a Canadian college or university or a member of the immediate family of a student.
Now hopefully its my turn to win but I won't check my email until tomorrow morning. I mean it:D

liane didn't win an ipod touch, she won another ipod and a itunes card.
Steve Birmingham -32GB iPod Touchб and Liana Miller got a 8GB iPod Nano & $100 iTunes gift card!
i'm not stupid the whole thing smells fishy or i'm insane...so some here said to me! i don't believe that steve and liane are real persons.
sorry if i'm wrong, but can it be it is just promotion in the contestforums from the owner of the facebooksite self?????? if you need more chips to play you have to buy it with money...so the owner males money!!! so be careful.... its just my mind.
i can't believe that both(steve and liane write the same thing in two different contestforums with same thing(ipod touch and the name from facebook and facebooklink...both are new in the forum and its the first posting).

Hey guys, I'm a little worried... We have Call Display on our phone, and my wife never answers the phone if it's a 1-800 toll free number that calls. 99% of the time it's one of those annoying telemarketing sales calls.
But perhaps this could actually be a winning contest call??? Should we answer all calls? Any winners out there who got a call who remembers what phone # displayed on their phones? (I enter about 50 daily's a day..)

Congrats on all the wins everyone! My $10 Starbucks gift card from the Winner an Hour contest arrived today. Won that a few months ago. On a bit of a dry spell... haven't even been winning movie passes :(

UPS just dropped off a parcel (no clue anything was coming). Was a nice surprise wondering what is in this little envelope! Opened it up to find a pencil case from the cheesestrings contest! Yay! :-0:-0:lol:
