Brandi was busy so she didn’t check her email for a few days. She almost missed out on a $350 prize because it required verification by email within 7 days. That’s a great reason to check your email once a day if possible – you never know if there’s a real prize waiting for you to claim!
“I’ve been so busy this summer that I have not been checking my email daily. I just found this message from Brisk: “CONGRATULATIONS! You are a potential winner of the following prize in the Brisk® Star Wars™ Sweepstakes, pending verification. First Prize – Kinect Bundle”
I looked the prizes up in the Official Rules:  First Prizes: One hundred and fifty (150) First Prizes will be awarded each consisting of Kinect Bundle which includes a 4GB X360 console, Kinect Sensor, Kinect Star Wars™ Game and Kinect AdventuresGame. ERV $350 each.
The email was from 7-09-12.  It said I had 7 days to respond.  I can’t imagine how sick I would have been if I missed out on such a great prize. Thank you for sharing all of the sweeps.  I’m off to clean up my inbox!“

If I get busy and don’t have a lot time to go through a lot of emails, I just search “congra”, “winner” and “won”. I have found messages like these that way! :)
Just found out that I was one of 20 winners of the Cascadian Farm Earth Day giveaway prize pack.
I have gotten some nice freebies from sweeps lately–coupon for a free Twix bar, coupon for a free Lara bar, Arizona Iced Tea 20 year keychain, and the big one a set of four mugs for Nestle! The Nestle mugs are nice; they are red and each one features a city in Mexico. These were from a Nescafe Escapes Latin American coffee sweeps.
I just wanted to say thank you for listing the sweeps like you do! I was able to win a trip for my husband and I to the Bud Light UFC fight in Las Vegas. We leave Dec 28 and I cannot wait!
This happened to me, I was the grand prize $1000 winner in the one day only Macy’s scan sweep. My winner notification got sent to my spam and I saw it a month too late. I emailed them right away asking if there was anything I could do and they actually let me send in my paperwork and I just got my giftcard last week! I think I got VERY lucky, but I can say now, I check my spam daily now!
