A is for Artichoke
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Ocean Mist $10,000 Sweep
Prize(s)- $10,000; case of fresh artichokes given away weekly
End Date - May 8, 2011
Entry Frequency - 1x per person/email
Simone's Thoughts - There is a cool book I read to Max that is mine from when I was a kid called 'I used to be an Artichoke'. Its a great book about being comfortable with who you are, even if you are just an artichoke. Gotta love the feel good alphabet books of my past (and present). In any case, artichokes would definitely go up a notch in my book if they make me $10G richer.

End Date - June 30, 2011

Simone's Thoughts - I wouldn't normally mention a $50 instant win portion of a sweep where the main prize is $15,000, but Amazon gift cards are always useful in this household!

Roos
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Puma Jamaica Sweep
Prize(s)- 5 night trip for four to Montego Bay, Jamaica
End Date - March 31, 2011
Entry Frequency - daily per person/email
Simone's Thoughts - Pumas always make me think of Kanga Roos. When I was young we actually kept a quarter in the pocket on our shoe for the payphone. I don't even think it cost a quarter back then, but then again, there were still pay phones. I bet there are pay phones in Jamaica, maybe if I win, I'll bring my Roos.

End Date - August 30, 2011

Simone's Thoughts - Family vaca or cash, I would probably take cash, but that cruise is tempting. Guess I would just have to play it by ear. Almost back to full steam, but still under the weather.
Note - You do have to be a member to enter, but membership is free and worth it

Prize(s)- $25,000
End Date - April 1, 2011
Entry Frequency - daily per person
Simone's Thoughts - Well, we didn't win MegaMillions on Friday, but I guess that just wasn't enough money for us, as no one else won either. This sweepstakes is my temporary backup plan for winning large sums of money. I can always use it!
Note: Just click 'don't have UPC code' under the boxes that require them in order to enter.

I don't do brackets
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Tyson Basketball Trip Sweep
Prize(s)- 3 day trip for four to a 2012 regular season college basketball game
End Date - April 15, 2011
Entry Frequency - daily per household
Simone's Thoughts - Once you have been entering sweeps for a while you will discover there are certain sweeps that happen at certain times of the year, and certain sweeps you just won't enter for the world. Tournament brackets are sweeps I just don't enter. The only time I do enter them is when it is a random drawing for the grand prize (almost never) and I love the ones that are random AND prefill your bracket. Mainly I avoid these because they take forever to fill out and the odds of winning are really, really low. So, this will probably be the only basketball sweep I post this year - enjoy! No bracket, yay!

Prize(s)- KitchenAid Dream Kitchen from Lowe's (ARV $32K)
End Date - May 9, 2011
Entry Frequency - 1x per household
Simone's Thoughts - I'm all about makevoer sweeps that actually include the appliances, only crappy part is this doesn't include any installation or haul away, so expect some costs if you win.

Rules, rules, rules
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Universal City Studios Rio Sweep
Prize(s)- 3 night trip for 2 to Rio De Janeiro OR $4,000
End Date - March 20, 2011
Entry Frequency - 1x per person
Simone's Thoughts - Sometimes rules are our friends, and sometimes other people just want us to think they are. In the case of sweepstakes, rules truly are your friend. Rules can stop you from wasting time on a sweep you aren't eligible for, one you can't take the trip for because of the date, or help you find out that there is a cash option. This is why it pays in sweeps to pay attention to the rules.
Note: If you want to take the trip, it has to be April 14-17, 2011

Cash and trips
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Unilever $10,000 Sweep
Prize(s)- $10,000; also prizes of trip to New Orleans for NCAA tournament, and trip to Orlando
End Date - March 26, 2011
Entry Frequency - daily per person/email
Simone's Thoughts - $10,000 is handy for anyone and I would take a trip to Orlando in a second. Honestly I would probably turn down a trip to New Orleans since we wouldn't have a ticket for the 2 year old. While I have enjoyed myself the two times I have been, it really doesn't have too much to offer in the way of entertainment for the two year old. The aquarium is very nice, but outside of that, not much else that I've noticed.

Tour of Italy
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Olive Garden Italy Sweep
Prize(s)- 8 day trip for 2 to Italy (4 given away)
End Date - May 9, 2011
Entry Frequency - daily per person/email
Simone's Thoughts - I made a book of our trip to Italy and included my blog posts from when I was there so that it won't forever remain the rosy image it is trying to become in my quickly fading memory. Garrett and I haven't stopped entering trips abroad, but we have decided that if either of us win them, we are taking our mothers, and not each other. That way, no children abroad until they are older.
