More than once, I believe, the winners of the HGTV Dream home had to give up or sell their house because they couldn't afford the taxes for winning it, or the property taxes, the power bills, etc. Jessica has an excellent point, I was going to say that too.

So for example, the HGTV house in New Mexico, with car and cash sounds like a GREAT prize, but you'd have to pay taxes on all that loot, which could be pretty high! Just keep that in mind when choosing which sweeps to enter. Do you have the cash to cover your big wins?

Entering and winning online contests and games is just another thing I do, like couponing and requesting free samples. . In the last 3 months that I've been doing it, I've already won almost $500 worth of gift cards and goodies! Magazine websites are always a good place to find multiple sweepstakes. Here are some others that have a lot: In Touch weekly: http://winit.intouchweekly.com/ Lucky magazine: http://www.luckymag.com/breaks Elle: http://www.elle.com/Sweepstakes Allure: http://www.allure.com/freestuff I think this is a great idea!

I didn't catch that! I'll add a note to the listing. When you receive a bill, you can just write "Cancel" on it and return it to stop the subscription. Thanks for letting me know, Sarah.

I guess I should have read the terms first! Sneaky!!! :( When you sign up for the Ikea sweepstakes, it automatically charges you $7.95 for 12 issues of Good Housekeeping!!
