What is the biggest sweepstakes prize you have ever won and how often do you enter contests?

There are many prizes left unclaimed in contest/sweepstakes. Most companies use sweepstakes to promote a new product or give attention to an old one. Legitimate contests are a great way to cash in or get a great prize.

I won a VCR about 20 years ago in a sweepstakes and as a kid I won an autographed (Stan Lee) comic book. I very seldom enter contests maybe 3 to 5 a year.
Asker's Rating:
• I picked you because I think that is SO awesome you won an autographed Stan Lee comic book! That's great!

I have won 3 one was a ipod touch another was $ 200 and the last was a dell mini. The best way to obtain these items is to sing up with a survey group that is well know but hard to get into. Make it sound like you make alot of money but not to much and they will invite you in. There the chances of winning a sweeps takes prize is about 1 to 1000 and not 1 to 1000000.

The only raffle where I won something is the raffle we had last year on our company Christmas party. They gave away tons of prizes that's why I had a chance to win one. lol I only got a consolation prize that time. I won a hair dryer. XD

I don't usually join contest or raffles. The only time that I'd participate is when I am required to join. I don't feel lucky with those. During my high school days, we always have fund raising raffles with big prizes but I always end up losing that's why I concluded that I have no luck on those.

In my side of the world (Europe) we have what we call the Euromillions. Its minimum prize every week is 15 million Euros. To play you need at least 2 Euros and I make it a point to play every week. During the course of almost three years playing, the biggest prize I've earned so far is 939 Euros, which is not bad, although I'm still trying my luck for the big one
