How do you "DO" Sweepstakes?

How do you win?
Dedication!
I'll be honest I spent a year and a half in Nursing school and I did very little sweeping and I won...nothing during that time. Now I am back to sweeping and I enter about 175 daily sweepstakes and another 50 one time sweepstakes everyday.
also, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS READ THE RULES!!!!

How long do I spend sweeping?
Daily I spend a minimum of 2 hours doing my daily sweeps...usually a broken up 2 hours as the needs of my family come first.

How long have you been sweeping?
since 2004

Do you have to report wins on taxes?
Any win over $600 must be reported and the sponsor will get your social security number and notify the IRS of the win as well as sending you a 1099 at tax time (I have had 2 wins that I had to report as income)

What is your biggest win?
I won a trip to a Hoobastank concert...now I listen to country music and had no idea who they were, but I was thrilled with the win. My husband is in the Navy and was deployed so I wasn't going to be able to attend and I let the sponsor know so they could choose an alternate...2 days later the sponsor called and offered me the cash equivalent saying a combination of me being military spouse and they fact that they have to give 30 day notice before the concert event and they now only had 28 days led to this decision...anyway I got a check for $3900!!! -keep in mind I had entered this sweepstakes for the lower level prize (I believe it was cordless phone sets)

Where do you find out about sweepstakes?
this question is EASY... http://www.online-sweepstakes.com/ I pay$30 for a yearly membership, but there are lots of sweepstakes that are available FREE:)
