Have you ever heard of a contest junkie? Well – I never had until I discovered that I happen know one. A delightfully quirky friend of mine recently revealed that she is a proud member of the online “Sweeper” community. A “Sweeper”, if you didn’t already know (and I confess I didn’t), is a person dedicated to entering contests and sweepstakes.
Apparently, there are loads of online Sweeper networks that keep tabs on all kinds of contest opportunities, and share tips & tactics with each other in the hopes of winning big. Surprisingly, many actually do. At last check, my friend’s group had amassed over $300,000 worth of prizes in the past year alone, and even she was boasting about her most recent free meal. Not a bad haul of cars, trips, shopping sprees and cash for a just few extra minutes of effort every couple of days….
So, in keeping with the spirit of the Sweepers, I’m passing along word of a cool little contest right here in town. Turns out, the folks over at Ottawafocus.com have just announced a winning possibility of their own.
Enter now until March 6, and you may end up with a pair of tickets to see the upcoming traveling musical production of The Wizard of Oz, appearing at the National Arts Centre this March 10 to 15.
I myself am a lover of musical theatre, and would certainly feel fortunate to see this classic show free of charge! Perhaps the Wizard himself can assure me of a win…
