Big difference between winner and potential winner. I'm the potential winner of milliions of dollars a week.

Hope you didn't send them any personal info or money.

How much do you keep after the IRS gets their share?

IRS (state + fed) typically gets 42-45% of the value of the prize winnings.

I've been at this awhile The judging agency is a reputable company that is known to me,the person woirking with me is very pleasant,the sponsor is nationally known.All I've had to do is fax and overnight mail notarized statements certifying eligibilty and publicity releases. This is the real deal

it depends on your tax bracket.Fortunately,this win happened early enough in the year that I can do some planning to soften the blow.

possibly start harvesting any market losses you have incurred this year? you can buy the same positions in 30 days but take the losses to help offset the win. uncertain if this helps in a winnings case. other possibility i've seen some creative people take is to take the losing lotto tickets and claim them as gambling losses to offset gambling wins. heh you could cruise by the local quik-e-marts and pick up thrown away scratch offs and claim them as yours 8)

I think she's said in the past that she's an insomniac, so she spends a lot of time finding and entering sweepstakes/contests online at night. Her list of winnings is amazing.

But still.. obviously your chances go up in winning 'a couple' of sweepstakes if you enter into a high number of them, but you STILL need to be chosen out of a lot of others EACH time in order to win. How she wins so much must have more to do then just entering every damn contest she finds, and each time I see one of these "Oooh look what I won this time" threads the prize is better then the last! This is ridiculous.

I want a list so I can print it out, and write "This is why" above it.

Then shoot myself in the face.

Some contests run for a long time,some of them allow you to enter daily.. how many people do you know that would remember to enter a contest every day for up to 1 year?

Other contests require odd methods to enter or have weird times when they will accept your entry.

Still others require an essay,photo's or a video.


Still other contests are simple to enter but theiir sponsors are so well know,the contest promoted so heavily that most folks figure they've got no chance of winning so they don't enter.


Somebody has to win..and I see all of the above situations are opportunties for me to win.
The more work the contest is to enter the b
