The reality is that most of us are winning small prizes, and that’s really my goal when I blog about sweepstakes. I want to help the most people win the most prizes. Ruth emailed me to reinforce what I believe, that for many of my readers it is worth their time to enter the daily sweeps to win small prizes. Keep playing Sweeps 4 Mom and winning small prizes.
Here is Ruth’s “Sweeps Success Story”:

Helping you win the winnable Daily Sweeps 4 Mom at Freebies 4 Mom
I <3 playing the daily sweeps and my daughter enjoys watching me try to win stuff! :-) Now i considered myself one of those people who never win anything. I have followed Freebies 4 mom for quit some time now. I enjoy getting small samples here and there! I then started the sweeps and won a tshirt and then maybe a $10 gift card at times. I always tell myself that these sweeps and giveaways for fun and the companies/people having them don't have to in the first place. I always try to thank everyone and not get down and out when i lose. I try daily and if i win YAY but if not oh well there's tomorrow. I use one email address and still have won many things! It is possible and try and try again for those who say they never win. You will eventually! :-) My first big item was the xbox 360 with the kinect & game. I was in shock when i saw that. My husband at that point became interested and now plays the sweeps as well! At Christmas time i won a $50 gift card for Target from the doctor oz giveaway as did 2 friends who graciously enough gave me their's. It truly was a blessing at Christmas time and i was more then grateful for freebies 4 mom for mentioning the giveaway and my close friends who took the time to sit there playing for hours. Then for someone to win and donate/regift is beyond words! <3 I since have won many small giveaways such as loads of cough drops, full size suave products, deodorant, $10 dollar general gift card, huggies diapers and pullups and the list goes on. As of Monday 4/18/11 i won a $250.00 visa gift card from Glad! I was about to quit the sweeps for the day and go back when the kids were asleep and do the other half of them. I decided oh just one more since my daughter likes watching the Glad game and i clicked to enter for the instant win and i did! Total shock! :-) I play all different times of the day though really. I hear those say at night is best or early morning but i play when i have the time. I am a mom of 3kids and go non-stop. I tell all my friends you can't win if you don't play so never give up!!!

I just won a $50 Mastercard from Dentyne…Thanks Freebies4Mom for posting this sweep!
I just had to tell you that I not only won a daily $10 gift card in the Dollar General Sweepstakes, but got an email that I was drawn for a $50 gift card too! Thanks for letting us know about these and winning IS possible!!
I’m organized with my sweeps and put them in my favorites by month and expiration date. The biggest prize I have won is my gas grill from Aunt Millie’s bread. It’s great. I love cooking on it when it’s decent outside. I also won a $299 GC from Ballard Designs and got a nice side table for my bedroom and a new light fixture for above my kitchen sink. I’ve also won “small” (I feel though that a win is a win no matter the size) prizes– a couple of GC’s from Wendy’s, gas card, food, make up, cleaners–the list goes on. I love it. I am also a couponer–match sales and c/o’s. I have a goal to pay off my house and retire while I’m still young enough to enjoy it. Thanks for Freebies 4 Mom.
Today I won the Olive Garden GC & dressing, a $15.00 GC for Kohls-from Huggies. Recieved my $55.00 GC from Select 55-$10.00 GC from Huggies-8 coupons from Toaster Strudel. Also waiting for $10.00 Pizza Hut GC & hair dye! So much fun!!!
I was wondering if those who are winning could tell me what time of day they are playing the sweeps at? I was wondering if the chances of winning are higher during certain times of the day. thanks
This year I’m gonna keep track of everything I’ve won and for January I’ve won $10 credit for Biggest Loser from Extra Gum, and a pack of Halls cough drops.
I usually win the small things here and there, but I continue to try every day. I only use one address for fear of winnng a big one someday only to be disqualified for using more than one email per household. So I play it safe.
I didn’t think it was possible to win the Toaster strudel game, lol.
So I don’t play the sweeps very often, I do for a while then get bored with it because I never win. I decided to try again starting yesterday and today I got an email that I won the $10 Olive garden GC and bottle of salad dressing. So, I guess I am going to keep playing the sweeps!
I won a 100 dollar gift card from HALLS. I am telling you I loved going to foot locker and getting my reebok easy tone and 4 pairs of socks for FREE….. Thanks for the great sweeps list. It definately makes it EASY and FUN!
I won $250 from the Tree Top sweepstakes!
@Melissa I think she was referencing me : /
@Dolores all of my blog winnings I just use one email address. As far as the IWG I use my email and my husbands email. But as you can see, most of my winnings are from blogs.
I won 36 boxes you get 4 every time you win, I’ve won 9 times, I play for my mom, my husband and myself 3 accounts 3 times each
I just started last week and I’ve won a bag of Halls and a tonys pizza!! Yipee!!! I can’t wait to REALLY win :-)
I can’t understand how some people can win so many prizes. How many email addresses are you using. I noticed someone one 36 Toaster Strudel. I thought there was a limit of winning 3 times. There are always people who try to beat the system and don’t follow the rules.
I’ve been playing regularly for over a year and the only thing I’ve won was a case of Strawberry Milano Cookies and $20 Sears gift card from Coke.
I have one Toaster Strudels twice. I just one from Good Feet free inserts with a value of $178.00. I was really happy with that. You can enter on the Good Feet website. I keep playing hoping for another win.
Thanks for your lists of sweepstakes.
I also have to thank you for all you do for us, letting us know what sweeps are out there and constantly reminding us to play, to not give up, telling that today may be the day we win something; I personally have won few GC for differents stores, they all have come on most needed time… To play every day is worth it for sure, its not a waste of time….
Thanks!!!
Even winning just one free something, means one less thing I have to budget for! Frugality is a way of life. Thank you so much for putting so much time into everything. :)
I love entering IWG and blog giveaways. I recently just started in October and since than I have won numerous things. My biggest win was in 09. I won an all inclusive airfare include trip to a 5 star resort in the Riviera May, The El Dorado Royal. My husband and I had plan on taking it last summer.

I play everyday! With the links you supply, I won several bags of Halls, 8 boxes of toaster strudles, gift cards, t-shirts, gift cards and my latest win was from the dippin dots/despicable me contest!!! I’m still waiting for my big win!! Thank you Freebies 4 Mom!!
I hadn’t won many prizes and then I won an Xbox Kinect! A few days ago I received a $25.00 Target gift card..complete surprise! Recently I won toaster strudels twice and on Monday I won a Playstation Move system!! I love this site and can’t thank you enough for doing all the leg work and putting it all together! It’s so easy and it takes me 10 min’s while drinking coffee to play the sweeps! Thank you!!
I have also won a lot of small food prizes. Sometimes I get surprises in the mail which is great, I even won the $250 Kellog’s sweepstakes. Hopefully something bigger and better is waiting for me down the road, but until then I will be happy with whatever I get. Thanks for letting me know what sweeps are out ther.
I have won a lot of small prizes and have been very pleased: cough drops, pasta and sauce from Barilla, chocolate drops from Hershey, cake and cookie mixes from Safeway/Betty Crocker, etc. It was only recently that I won a couple of bigger prizes (a hundred dollar gift card from PUMA, an iphone3 otter box defender case and ipad otter box defender case from AT&T). I haven’t won a grand prize yet and I may never, but it is fun in the attempt.
The day I play expecting to win or don’t enjoy it anymore is the day I will stop playing. To be honest, it is fun enough knowing that there is something coming in the mail for me. I’m adult enough to admit it :-P.
My husband has won $1k, a 46″ TV, an IPOD touch, and courtside Rockets tickets in the past year. :)
