UPDATE: You will be required to enter a code each day that you enter the sweepstakes. You can find the codes when you click on the link below to enter. Today’s code is 68.
Wouldn’t you love to win a whole selection of Oprah’s favorite things?!
For the first time ever, 12 O readers will win a selection of gifts from Oprah’s legendary “Favorite Things” show—along with her personal picks for the magazine and specifically chosen presents from Nate Berkus, Suze Orman, Dr. Oz, and other friends. In addition, each winner will snag $6,810 in cash, which winners may use, if they so elect, to help defray any tax consequences they may incur by accepting the prizes. The approximate retail value of each prize package is $29,510. Wowza!!
Beginning today, November 29th through December 10th, you can enter for a chance to win by clicking here and completing the entry form. Limit one entry per day per household; Entering each day will increase your chances of winning.
(Thanks, Lindsay!)
It says you have to enter a “code.”
Anyone have that code?
Or know where I can get it?
Thanks for the reply.
yes when you click on the link (on the website) it will have a code. The code is 68
The code is there on the icon. I think for today it was 68.

That link has the codes for the whole 12 days
Hello, is the code 68 or 74?
where do we get the code from…..anyone know?
Thanks!
What is the code?
WOW Wouldn’t that be amazing! I always wonder how you become an audience member when she does these giveaways and how great that would be!
Tiffany,
From what I heard, it’s really hard to get tickets for her favorite things show. I don’t know if people knew ahead of time, this year, that this was the show they were at until the actual show started. Oprah is going off the air after this season!
They did NOT know that it was for the Favorite Things show. The first group thought it was for being givers in their community and the second group was people who had been an inspiration to someone in their life. My cousin and aunt were on the second show. They said it was unbelievable. They were given the 2012 VW Beetles, iPads, diamond earrings, etc. AND they get all the taxes paid on the gifts. But after what my cousin has been through with her son (born w/ hypoplastic left heart syndrome), she deserves it!!
For sure. I’m glad people who do awesome things got to be on the show!
Mindy – I love hearing about people getting things like this, that actually deserve it. Thanks, you put a smile on my face today. Take care and good luck to your cousin and her family. 🙂 (((HUGS)))
That’s pretty awesome for your aunt and cousin. I had heard from other audience members that the only taxes being paid were by VW for the cars, but they are responsible for the other gifts? I know that check is then taxed (but tax on that will be way cheaper than tax on a car). Also, the items they got already gets taxed this upcoming year as 1099 misc income, but the car won’t be received until it comes out, so that’s not going to be taxed for this upcoming year.Great for VW for doing that, but the bottomline for these giveaway shows is NO ONE enters a contest to be there and all the items should be treated as “gifts” and not “prizes” because the tax is treated way differently and the receiver doesn’t have to have any taxes. Oprah and the huge sponsors know all this tax stuff and that don’t have to go the “prize” route but they choose to do so.
I know a good majority of the audience is surprised but there are also several people who have a pretty good inkling that it might be a favorite things episode. I have read a few forums of people who thought there was a good probability. I even saw on Oprah’s boards themselves the night before the Favorite Things in Macon and the teachers one of people who were going and fully convinced (correctly) that it had to be a favorite things show based on the time of year and timing for the show taping (ie, Macon was taped on a Saturday and the teacher episode was taped on another day she normally doesn’t do tapings). Even with your aunt and cousin’s taping, I saw comments here and there on different news article about the favorite things or on boards who suspected it was going to be a giveaway show, maybe not favorite things, but definitely a giveaway.
But anyways…..congrats to your aunt & cousin hope they enjoy their stuff! 🙂
Some years it was random. Some years it was a specifically chosen audience – ie, teachers, Hurricane Katrina volunteers, community volunteers, etc.
you wouldnt have a voice or any hearing left lol!!!!!
I think you have to buy O magazine to get the codes.
You are not required to make a purchase to get the codes or enter the contest it says so right next to the form. It is only an option thats there if you want to receive her O magazine at the bottom of your entry.
Click on the icon dated 11/29 at the bottom of the page. ; ) It tells the code for the day.
The code is on the bottom Right side of the symbol. 68
Scroll down and you’ll see the code for today.
The code is listed on the Icon, today it is 68
If you click on the link, the code is under the icon for each day.
Thanks for the reminder Collin! Fingers crossed that we are all winners 🙂
Holy smokes – I would probably have a heart attack if I won! *fingers crossed* Thank you, Oprah!
LOL!!! Me too. I day dream too much though
The link I clicked on says “There was an error when displaying this page”. Does anyone know how I can get to the entry page? Thank you.
Great giveaway/notice Collin. Thanks!
Not of a fan of the Big O either of the Big O’s actuallyl so I’m gonna skip it.
Wow, what a wonderful giveaway to enter! Thanks. I’m going to daydream also. 🙂
What I don’t get though is why they are saying it’s the first time ever? Every year she has a similiar giveaway giving people at home a chance to win the favorite things.
I keep getting a message saying that the sweepstakes is not taking entries.
i’m getting that same message …”We’re sorry, this sweepstakes is not accepting entries.” HUH??!
I got a message saying that the sweepstakes is not taking any entries.
I am trying to enter the giveaway, but after I enter all my information and the code for the day, it tells me: We’re sorry, this sweepstakes is not accepting entries. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY IT IS TELLING ME THIS???? I WANT TO ENTER.
Renee, Patti, and Melissa, it said that because you were trying to enter the Nov 29 giveaway a few minutes past midnight Eastern Time. At midnight ET, it’s too late for entering that day’s giveaway, you need to switch to the next day’s (Nov 30 this time).

Thank you for letting us know about this giveaway Collin! I am also sitting here daydreaming. 🙂
My dad’s cousin was at the 2nd day of giveaways. She had no idea and had gone with her friend. So AWESOME!!!!
I got some kind of link for the O Magazine and they are charging me $18.00. I don’t know how I got subscribed to the O Magazine to start with, not that I don’t like Oprah, but I didn’t order any magazines. Then when you try to cancel it brings up a bunch of computer jargon and will not allow you to cancel.
Lovely.
