I can't tell you how many times he won in a 10 year period! It was a large hospital but people knew Brad....that nurse on 5th who wins everything! I on the other hand never won, no exaggeration. I always tried to convince him to go buy lottery tickets for me, lol. For some reason he never bought lottery tickets, crazy kid!
    I believe in that! I want to be lucky so I think I will win, not that I won't. Positive thinking and having expectations for good things to come my way has always worked for me. I taught my kids to think the same way. Can't hurt. And I don't buy lottery tickets. I don't believe lottery is a good thing.

    I tend to win little stuff - I've won the block swap at our guild four times in two years. In fact, I was really sure I'd win something with all the drawings in the VT Shop Hop and was disappointed that I didn't win a thing. Silly, huh? Oh, well. Once in a while I enter the Better Homes & Gardens site drawings, but never won anything there either. Guess I should look up some blog sites and see what they have to offer. I agree about having a separate email for stuff like that.

    I do enter fabric giveaways on blogs - but I've never won - but I am hopeful.

    Nope. They all want my email id and I get way too many junk emails as it is.

    I enter giveaways frequently unless it's through ( darn I can't remember the name of the winning drawing company) where you have to go to so many sites & sign up for their FB page ect ect. I have only won once a 8pk of Aurifil threads. But I have to say that I once received a mailer from a truck/car dealership to see if I won the grand prize, we went down & DH did buy me a new truck, a month later I was notified that the grand prize winner never showed up so I won 2nd place prize...$2,000 CASH!! I was the good wife & gave it all to DH for bills but did ask if I could have 1 of the $100 bills...of course DH gave it to me...unfortunately this was 2 yrs ago before I got into quilting. Imagine having a free $100.00 to spend at maybe Joanns with a 40% coupon & a 15% off total purchase!

    I have been doing the fab shop hop for a few years but never won anything. I was telling a quilting friend about it and she won twice in 6 months.
    Same with blogs, I have entered but never won.
    They say never give up but I am close to it.

    I entered 12 blog give aways this morning. It took 9 minutes. I use the same comment for every give away. Just copy and paste. 99% of them use the random number system.
