Why I Sweep (or Play Instant Wins - Check out my Two New Wins!)

I've been asked why I sweep. Not sweep my floors, but play internet Sweepstakes and Instant Win Games. I've also been asked how I find the time, between work and a pre-schooler.

First of all I don't sweep everyday. I only sweep generally late at night, while I'm watching tv. The odds are a little better the earlier or later in the day that you play because most likely there aren't quite as many people playing.

Second of all, I earn my time to play the sweeps. I mentioned this in my previous post about managing multiple survey sites.

Finally, I just do it for fun and I've been winning!

Check out these two emails I got just this week!
