WilliamPaid + PCHMatch3 Widget

No wins that I'm aware of yet today but there's two things to share:

First, and this is really welcome right now with everyone's budgets being so tight, Williampaid is running the Your Expenses At Our Expense Giveaway (referral link) it will give $1,000 to the winner and $250 to the person that referred them (so obviously if you're going to sign up I'd appreciate the referral). As always is the case with anything I promote, this is not a scam to get people to buy their product etc... just a good ol' fashioned free sweepstakes.

Secondly, as it turns out there are a few other competitions that have widgets including one sponsored by one of the most famous of all companies as far as sweepstakes go: Publishers Clearing House. Now, I will say, I personally haven't heard of anyone that I know winning a single thing from PCH, not even one of the small prizes... still this particular game is so easy to use that I play it every day.

Fujitsu Uncover the Possibilities

Now here's a convenience I wish more sweeps would let me have, a widget I can post on here that allows me to play without going to their site.. it also allows anyone coming here to play. How nice... oh yeah and it's a great prize, sweet.

Team Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola strikes again, this time with their Twist Txt Get promotion. This is one of those instances where persistence is key, I've entered this one twice a day for what feels like ages now. There was tale going around that they paid on on the 5 minute marks exactly... well, it seems like it was true.

While not exactly the 2010 Ford Fusion or the $10,000 scholarship they offer as their grand prizes I'm still happy to take a pair of free movie passes (up to $12 a ticket). This is my second win from Coca-Cola in less than a months time which almost makes me feel bad for only drinking Dr. Pepper, almost.

Sticky fingers? Bing to the rescue...

Everyone who gets into sweeps knows the sound of a delivery truck rumbling down their street... slowing... is today the day? Did I win that Microsoft XBox 360 finally? Maybe it's the gas card I've been waiting for...

Dropped there on the front step is todays package with the oh-so recognizable Microsoft return address but it's a bit small for an XBox 360.

Oh yeah, Club Bing. They offer such a huge number of prizes and some time ago I had turned in a few tickets for their first aid kit... today it arrived and in classic Microsoft style it's full of very little that would be useful if you were looking for a first-aid kit. Yes bandages and eyewash are great but the 10 "Fresh Lemon Towelette" Clean Naps? I'm sorry I don't see "sticky fingers" on the list of things that require a first aid kit.

In the end I'll likely remove the towelettes and pack in some more goods of my own - some gauze, adhesive tape, some sort of anti-itch spray, bandage scissors, tweezers... ya know useful things. At least the individual pain reliever packages, eye wash and the water safe bag will come in handy (though it'd be handy if the bag said "First Aid Kit" instead of Bing or if it was the classic red instead of blue but really, it's a prize for playing games so I'll stop complaining. Hopefully the "Mini tool set" I ordered will be a bit more handy, it should arrive soon so we shall see. No other wins that I've been alerted of recently and now that December 1st is here there's a slew of new contests for which I may already be a winner.

Wins that may help lower your cholesterol

Even those of us who follow sweeps on regular occasion miss some from time to time, this morning I found one that I've been missing out on for months now. As luck would have it though this instant win game Sweet Rewards Giveaway run by Honey Nut Cheerios allows for 10 entries a day.

I played for the first time today and won my first prize:

I say my first prize because Honey Nut Cheerios is being generous enough to allow up to 10 instant wins per person (1 win per day for a total of $50 possible). Not only that but it has an easy free entry method as well.

Word has it that the payments are done in batches, many people got multiple checks in the mail on the same day that pay out a couple weeks worth of wins. I look forward to seeing if I can get more than just this one win from this one.

I also look forward to some cereal for breakfast... I haven't had Honey Nut Cheerios in quite some time.

Update: Looks like I won't see the checks from this for quite some time - got my confirmation e-mail which included this little tid-bit:
