Not too unlike those monster truck commercials for utter annihilation, Sunday is the d-day when it comes to sweepstakes. Sunday brings a massive amount of drawings for new winners tied with another large amount of one or two day entry period sweeps that pop up. The great thing about those are that the short entry times don't allow for a lot of entries, increasing the chance of winning. Needless to say, Sundays are the only days I really dedicate any amount of substantial time to sweeping.
What makes this Sunday different, however, is that Monday is the last day of the month. The last Sunday right before the last day of the month is a combination of all the monthly, weekly and monthly contests converging. Last time I checked, there are over 1200 sweepstakes ending on Monday. Now, don't get all hysterical, I don't actually enter that many. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that I'm close to ten percent. Some of the other people that I see on the sweepstakes pages are closer to 90. Not saying they're crazy or anything, just that having seven kids and a family that I love to spend time with prevents much more time than I currently commit. So, in normal people terms (those people that don't sweep) today is equivalent to Black Friday. Well... not exactly because I think I rolled out of bed this morning around 10am and am not bloated from eating too much turkey and pumpkin pie. ..and it's not Friday. The level of busyness and severe need for organization to make it through, however, is exactly the same. Ah, the price we pay for trying to win something that we only want bad enough to spend the time and energy it takes to fill out a form online and have an increase in our spam folder.
If you're a sweeper and your here reading this, GO BACK NOW AND KEEP ENTERING FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SACRED!! Also, I didn't call you crazy, just less sane than me in the sweepstakes area of the brain. And before you get mad about that, just keep in mind that me being more sane gives you better odds of winning all those prizes. WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!? THERE ARE SWEEPS ENDING AS THE WORDS KEEP FLOWING!!!
