I won a trip to New Orleans; air vouchers, hotel, transfers and cash to spend.

Thanks twobyte and Flyingmama. I'll name the contest as soon as I receive my documents. The affidavits and other papers had too many rules and I am waiting to be oficially declared the grand prize winner.
Now that I returned from the trip, I can name the contest. It was the FedEx Tracking Sweepstakes. I agree with twobyte. Keep track of the real costs of the different components of the trip. Congrats to the other winners. Enjoy your trips!!!
Programs: United 1k & all the others + Hotel Diva at many chains

Five (5) night stay at the all-inclusive Breezes Resort, Spa & Golf Club in Runaway Bay Jamaica for you and a guest. This includes your accommodations, all meals and drinks, a variety of land and water sports, activities and entertainment, roundtrip hotel/airport transfers. No air fare.
Just catching up on the FT winners & your surprising "odds of winning" are pretty fantastic...hope you are buying lottery tickets this year! How was Tanzania? Did you post a trip report?
Congrats to everyone!!
Now do you guys enter everyday....how do you guys win ?
Thanks
I haven't won any trips since the Iceland trip last year, so no posting on that score. But I did just win $5,000 cash and a foosball coffee table from Miller Lite (not a trip sweeps, though, so it wasn't posted here).
Mostly I try to enter at least some every day. I have the dailies bookmarked and can whip through them in about an hour (I get up an hour early to do the sweeps). The one-time-only sweeps are not so regular, but I do try to catch up on them on Sundays while my better half is glued to football.
About the only way to win is persistance ... especially now that there are fewer really good sweeps out there and more people entering them.
Not sure where to put this, but for those who get InsideFlyer mag ($12/year - no annoying ads on FT ), they did a 60-second interview w/ me re: contests/sweeps/this forum. Supposed to appear in the Nov issue. If you don't get it, no worries. I didn't mention any major tips, other than if you don't enter you don't win LOL.
I won a $250 gift card to Macy's through the Johnson's Virgin Island contest link that has expired. The new contest is called Melt Away Stress. Would not have found this contest if not for the old link from Flyer Talk
ePrize emailed me saying flyOpenskies will contact me within the month to schedule. I am hoping the dates I have in mind are still available. If biz seat is all sold out, will they put me in biz bed???
