Hi Collin and Team! I just wanted to thank you for all the awesome contests you post. I was recently a grand prize winner in the Treasure Cave Sweeps and will be receiving a trip for myself and a guest to my choice of a 2017 regular season professional football game!

This is actually the second time I’ve won big following your contest posts as a little over 3 years ago I was the grand prize winner of a Live Nation Pretzelmaker Sweeps you posted about and won a trip to a concert of my choice. We saw Dierks Bentley and it was an unforgettable experience. They flew us from Florida to Arizona for the concert and although the pictures look far away, we were only about 12 rows back – incredible seats!

Thank you so much for all you do! Your work makes a positive impact in so many lives and is very appreciated!

    Wow congrats! Glad to see some one actually wins the big prizes. And especially someone from Hip2Save!

  2. Erika

    I’m so glad to see this post! I always wonder if real people actually win sweepstakes. Glad to know they do. Now if only I could win. Lol!

  3. Alea

    Dierks is awesome! Great choice! ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Its nice to win prize like this. I remember that i was on tight budget on Black Friday a few years ago. I didnt have any money to go shopping. That night, i won $200 Old Navy gift card. The chance of winning was very slim. They only had 200 gift cards and only one play per email. Next morning, i took my husband (now my ex) and my sister to go shopping

    I too am grateful that a Hip2save reader not only won big twice but also contacted Collin to let her team know that it really is possible to win the bigger prizes from Big brand sweepstakes. We all get a little discouraged from time to time entering either Hip2save contests or sweepstakes and never winning year after year. This gives the rest of us a lot of hope and inspires us to continue trying to win the next contest or sweepstakes. Thanks for sharing your story!

      Julie made a great point. Thank you, thanks for reaching out and sharing your story, and thank you Hip2Save Team for posting this story. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

    Wow! Great story! I stopped entering because I never win anything. Once I won tickets to a see local singer from a radio contest when I was a young teen but she took so long so come on that it got so late that my mom made us leave!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ you’ve given me hope again and I’m going to start entering contests again!

  7. Cristen

    I’ve won big off of contests from Hip2Save twice, too! No lie. Both were Huggies contests. With one, I won diapers for a year. With the other, I won $5,000 for my child’s college fund. I didn’t believe that second one when they called, until I received the legal paperwork to fill out and then the check. You really can win big on here!

      Congratulations that’s awesome !!!

    Twice? Okay, what’s your secret?

  9. DebY

    My New Years resolution, a few years back, was to enter every sweepstakes/contest I came across. I didn’t win anything major but did get lots of free meals, movie tix and a few other fun items!

  10. Grey

    Wow! I’m so glad this was posted. Sometimes, we just pass on sweeps, because we think there is no way! BUt you are proof! Thanks for the hope!!!

  11. Tina

    That’s awesome I’ve been following for years and put in for all the drawings and never win. Hmm guess your just lucky

  12. abby h

    It’s encouraging. I do all the sweepstakes, surveys on my receipts even mail a free entry, nothing as of yet but I still believe, one day. I am from Chicago and a cubs fans so I still believe. Thank you for the encouragement.

  13. Nimi

    Yeah, i won $10,000 hollister quikly live last year. I could not believe it until the check arrived.

    Thank you so much hip2save team.

  14. Creolegyrl

    I won a Xbox 360 from a Taco Bell contest Collin posted years back and too many $10 gift cards to count. Y’all are a blessing, truly.

  15. Dawn

    Congratulations Jamie on your terrific wins and for sharing with us!! I also have some wins all thanks to Collin and Hip2Save, who I have been following since 2012. I won Starbucks k-Cups for a year (one box each week, worth over $600 value). I won a $300 spa gift card (I bought 6 facials at Face Logic for $50 each). Other items include $50 & $15 Amazon gift cards, KY lubricant, Dominos pizza, beauty items, etc. Please don’t give up entering contests Hip2Savers. People really do win. Plus, think of all the savings “winnings” from the awesome deals the Hip Team posts daily… Good luck! ๐Ÿ’—

  16. Mary

    That’s great Jamie. Congrats!

    And kudos to you too, Colin and Team! You all help so many of us day in and day out, and help increase our quality of life.

  17. Jenn

    That’s awesome! I won the $1,000 Thanksgathering sweeps two years ago and it was such a blessing for our family at the time. Thanks, Hip2Save for sharing all of the opportunities!
    Most recently (a few months ago) I won a case of Harvest Snap snacks and have enjoyed many free Snickers bars from their little giveaways!

  18. Jamie

    Thanks everyone for the congrats! Yes, I am very lucky but I am also consistent and that is the secret honestly! I really do enter everything almost daily. It’s like a 3rd job. ๐Ÿ™‚ I’ve won many other great things over the MANY years including two x-boxes, dog food for a year and lots of gift cards and free movie tickets. Anyone can win if they stick with it! I have my dad and several friends addicted to this site now too and I can’t wait till one of them win big. I love seeing Hip2Savers win!!
    I have been following this site since close to the beginning and I don’t know what I’d do without Hip2Save. LOL, Collin almost feels like family!! Good luck everyone, real people do win, promise!!

  19. Amy

    I won $250 red lobster gift card from Huggies Rewards a few years ago. I didn’t know I’d even won until it arrived registered mail. The timing was perfect as we were redoing our kitchen at the time, so had limited use of it! Thank you, Hip to Save crew for all you do!

  20. Rebecca In TX

    Thanks for sharing! I was super diligent at entering contests for about 18 months solid a few years back. My big ones were a $500 Visa GC from O’Reilley and $250 in points at Sears. I even had some medium wins like a year of Kashi cereal and a pack of one of everything Ziplock made.

  21. Carissa R.

    Makes me so happy to see people winning great prizes! My life’s goal is to win a trip – anywhere! Those are my favorite contests to enter. Mama needs a vacation…

      Clarissa R, many years ago I won a 4 day cruise to Ensenada. It was a local contest where you put your entry into a box. My dad taught me to either crinkle or accordion fold the form beforehand. Using the crinkle or fold method, my then husband and I entered a dept store drawing and won 3 small things, a briefcase, a haircut and one other thing. On the local drawings if they don’t limit the # of entries be sure to enter more than once. I also won 2 tickets to Disneyland from a local realtor about 5 years ago (I live in So Cal). Another local realtor has quarterly drawings for $500 gift cards which I’m hoping to win. My winnings aren’t as big as some of the other posters but don’t give up. Keep trying. Good luck.

  22. Pat

    I won some too. I won sample packs two times when they were naming the new potato chips (the boxes that had 2 of each new flavors, they had like 12 packages in each box. I also have won the $100 off $100 at JC Penney twice. I guess my biggest win was with Briggs and Stratton. I didn’t believe the email I got either. I won a $500 gift card, a push mower, and other small prizes. I used the gift card to get a riding mower. I was mowing 3 acres by hand cause I didn’t have the money to buy one. LOL The most exciting part was that they flew 3 people out to take me to lunch. It was amazing. I felt like a celebrity for a day.

  23. Ashley R.

    Thank you very much Collin and team for always being so kind and for your time and dedication! My family and Ibare so grateful for Hip2save! Thank you for this post, it has inspired me to enter contests every day! I hope to be able to win and bless my family this month!!
