    I have rarely had good luck with instant win sweeps, except for SaveLife. I just had 2 more wins tonight of $5 PayPal. That makes 8 wins in all since this sweep started. I know they are small wins, but even $5 helps when I'm buying something online.

    I won a funny little contest last month. I'm sure I was going for some cash prize, but got a runner up prize. Couldn't use them right away, but maybe in the spring. We live a couple hours from Charleston, so it might make a fun weekend.

    I've won some small ones like that. Hey -- I'll take free money if they're handing it out!

    My biggest wins have all been in the past, when the contests seemed to be easier (or more prizes). I won a cell phone and an XBox gaming console, controller, games, etc. I sold both of them.

    Not sure if this counts, but it was certainly a "win" for me. We live at the beach. I was walking in the water, knee deep, and found a $50 bill floating around. Dinner was on me that night!

    Congrats to all on their wins! I actually received what I thought/hoped would be a nice win about a week ago. I won a $250 gift card, the type wasn't specified so I thought it might be a Visa or Mastercard, something general. What I got was an Uber/Uber Eats gift card. I don't use either one of those and until I get a smart phone (I just have a cheap non smart cell phone) there would be no way to use them.

    I remember once years ago I won some gift card that I couldn't use and I found a site where you can trade in cards you don't want for ones you do. I don't remember what that site was or know if they're still around.

    I've won 3 Amazon gift cards this year - $10, $25 and $50. With the $50 one, I also received 3 cans of 3 bean salad and 3 jars of baby pickled beets.

    You could always post it and try to sell it to someone on here.

    I've been thinking about that. I'm not sure right now what I'm going to do with it.

    Cocoabun -- I've never tried to sell or exchange gift cards online, but I've heard about several of these sites. You might want to check them out. Don't let it go to waste. If you have to give it away, call some local food bank. At this time of year they might really be able to use it.
