Sweeping 2013

I rarely enter drawings/sweepstakes/contests, etc. because I feel the odds of winning are slim, and when entering contests you're basically asking for companies to send more junk mail to your mailbox and email inbox. I have won a couple of things in the past - a television at my high school's after prom my senior year, and a pair of tickets to a Keith Urban concert at the Mandalay Bay via a new country radio station when I was going to school in Las Vegas. Both were great prizes; I actually still have (and use) the television.

I'm not sure what has inspired me to do so now, but I have suddenly started entering any sweepstakes that looks interesting. Maybe I just want an all-expenses paid vacation since my budget will not be allowing anything extra for a while. Here's what I've entered to win so far:

-Two tickets to the Grammys (winner announced Jan. 31st)
-A Disney Western Carribbean Magical Cruise for 4 (winner drawn around Feb. 5th)
-Las Vegas Aria Giveaway with tickets to Cirque du Soleil's Zarkana for 2 (winner drawn Feb. 6th)
-NYC Gourmet Getaway for 2 (winner drawn Feb. 1st)
-Ellen's Australia Giveaway for 2 (can't find an exact date, but looks like March)
-Cher's Woman's World Video Shoot Giveaway for 1 (winner drawn TODAY!! - Excited!)

Call me crazy, but maybe entering a ton of contests will increase my odds of winning SOMETHING. Now excuse me while I cross my fingers, walk backwards all day, and throw salt over my shoulder. Cher's giveaway is happening today. I'm winning this one.
