As we approach the 21st Annual National Sweepstakes Convention, we wanted to reach out to all our hardcore sweeper friends and ask them to share their latest. Many folks that come to SweepstakesHub.com are not necessarily seasoned sweepers. Many don’t know much about it and some even doubt that sweepstakes actually work!
So, not sure if sweepstakes actually pay off? The top sweeper clubs in America share their experiences—we know you will be amazed at what they have to say.
For all of you who will join us at the convention, see you there. As always, we wish you best of luck. Happy sweeping and have a great convention everyone!

Virginia Beach Prize Patrol — Virginia Beach, VA & NC
We are very active! We’ve been in existence almost 8 years. We meet the second Tuesday of every month. We decorate envelopes, make post cards, exchange entry forms and local drop box info at our meetings plus have a pool party in the summer and an Xmas party in the winter. It’s a very fun group who share and are able to win some incredible prizes. I personally won my 3rd car last year but my group wins everything from soup to nuts!
Happy sweeping!

Terry
Carolina Sweepers — Concord & Kannapolis, NC
Yes! Our club is very active. We meet every other month at Ryan’s Steak House in front of Concord Mills Mall in Concord, near the speedway. We have a lot of members but usually between 20 to 25 attend our meetings. I have won so many wonderful things through the years – sweeping since 1996. My biggest wins have been a 2002 Ford Focus, $10.000, trip to Australia, and lots of other stuff that my family has enjoyed. This is the greatest hobby. This year I’ve won 4 TV’s for me and 1 TV for my Mom. The places I’ve gotten to go have been incredible – when people ask and I tell them about my winnings, I’m not sure some of them believe me.
