OK -- I've been dealing with a win this week -- unbelievable. I was contacted by Chris by phone about winning the Land's End School Bell Sweepstakes, followed up by emails and forms from Chris at Land's End. Also a Congrats email from Land's End. One winner -- me -- $5,000.
I have to admit I was skeptical -- I have been entering that contest every day, so I knew the contest was legit. But I logged onto Land's End (not a link in their email) and got onto Chat. I explained to the person on chat that I was hesitant to divulge SS#, birthdate and my signature (they already have phone, address, email address). I told her Chris's name as well as Allie (the person she sent of copy of the email to), and the chat woman was able to confirm they did work for Land's End.
So I filled out the paperwork, had it notarized, copied, and overnighted ($26.95!!) It had to be returned in 3 days. I tracked it and it was delivered so I contacted Chris who said she had the package and would process it next week. I sent her an email saying I was expecting it to be overnighted within 3 days (lol).
I'll let you know what happens.

Not a sweepstakes win, but I received a package the other day when I wasn't expecting one. Thought maybe USPS had delivered it to the wrong address, but when I looked, it had my name on it. Then I thought maybe it was something to try from one of my survey sites. Ended up being a blanket throw from Purina. I'd reached a certain point level at their rewards site so they sent me a plush navy blue blanket throw with their logo in the corner.

Congratulations kjwent! Nice win!
Many years ago (over 20 yrs. I think?), I won a $500 Amazon GC from a site. It took them a few months to get it - some odd snafu on their end. They wanted my SSN, but I told them at that time you didn't have to report wins under $600 (I had just finished a tax accounting class, LOL). They checked, and verified what I had said. They mailed a paper copy that I almost threw out, thinking it was junk mail. Whew!Be Happy Now.

Free is free! Congrats. And you didn't even have to jump through hoops to win something! Just buy pet food.

The woman at Land's End got the package on time and said she would start processing this week. Who knows how long that will take. She did say the check would be sent to me "priority." We'll see how long this takes.
