I have never attended a National Sweepstakes Convention and always wanted too. I hope to learn some tricks of the trade and meet the people that I read about on OLS.

I have never been to a convention but I would like to attend one so I can talk to other sweepers about their successes and their tips for winning. I'd like to talk to people who have won cars and get a feel for how they handled the win. Mostly, I just want to meet people who share an interest in this hobby that persists over time, despite dry spells.

I would like to win because.....
I would love to go and if I won it, I would not have to justify going to my dh who still does not get it! Actually, I would like to learn more about twitter. I have not figured out how to hook it up to my blackberry _ I have to remember to visit the twitter page once a day. I have so much lo learn.

I would love to go to learn more about blogs, facebook, and twitter. I would love to expand my networking skills and generally become a benefit to the OLS community

I'd like to win because I cannot afford to go unless I win the trip. Many are winning Twitter and Facebook sweeps and I'd like to learn more on how they do it. Also a trip win would make my year!!

I've never been and would love to meet so many of my fellow OLS'ers, plus I'd love to learn all the tips and tricks that long-time sweepers have to give away! Thanks for this!!!

Just Like Everyone Who Entered
Just like everyone who entered, I'd love to win a chance to participate in the convention.
Sure, it would be fun, but more so, it would give me a chance to met many of the sweepers I
know only via the net ... people who I now consider friends.

What I'd like to learn is more sweepstake tips. And, what I'd like to share is what I've learned
... the real secret of winning: a passion for this hobby of ours and persistence!

I would like to win a trip to the National Sweepstakes Convention, who wouldnt!! I have been reading about them for years on here, and have never had the chance to go because of finances, much like a lot of people. I can just imagine the fun that takes place once you get all the OLSers together with the other sweepers out there, pure craziness! If I won, I would want to meet other sweepers who are super hardcore! I want to be hardcore! I love sweeping and love the thrill of winning things that I could never afford. What would I hope to learn? Hmm, that is a hard question! I think the biggest thing that I would want to learn would be to learn how to let go and have a kick butt time with all the other sweepers out there, maybe they can show me whatever tricks and tips they have after we have some aaaaaalcohol!!

Wow, I'd love to go! I'd get a chance to meet all the OLSers I've met over the last seven years and I'd get to learn more about them. I haven't been to a sweepers convention before so this would be a new adventure for me!

Why I would like to Attend
I went to my first Convention a few Years Back in Detroit and had a great time
If any-one would have told me that I would fall in Love with Detroit I would have laugh at them,
I got to meet some Very nice People and Learned a lot about Sweeping that I did not know
at all, inclueding Online-Sweeps, from a very nice sweeper from NJ Like myself.
I won so many things at the convention and I had a great time I would love to go to other One

I have never been to National Sweepstakes Convention but have read ton's about them every year. I always drool every year reading what fun everyone has at them and how much they learn. I would love to learn new ways to keep on task and stay focused. I always seem to fall off track and than have to get myself back on track again. I also would love to connect with other people who have the same passion as myself with sweep's. It would be great for once to not be looked at as a crazy person (yes even my own family looks at me as if I am nuts when I mention sweeps to them). I know you all of you know what I mean you have seen that look.

My biggest prize to date has been a Trip to the Olympics from Tyson to Vancouver value $20,000!
