SunshineGirl
04-01-2008, 02:48 PM
I'm quickly trying to upload the drawing to Youtube so everyone can see it is legit. Here's a reminder of some of the pertinent rules...

NOTIFICATION: One (1) winner will be chosen in a random drawing from all eligible entries received on or about April 2, 2008 and notified by e-mail. Should the winner not respond within ten (10) days from their notification, another winner will be chosen. Odds of winning depend upon number of eligible entries received. All drawing decisions are final.

PRIZE AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE: One Category 11 Cabin on the Sunshine Rewards Member Cruise to take place October 23-26, 2008 on the Disney Wonder. (Approximate Retail Value ["ARV"]: $982.62) No substitution of prize is offered (except at Sponsors' discretion), no transfer of prize to a third party is permitted and prize may not be redeemable for cash value. Prize consists of only those items specifically listed as part of the prize. Winner is responsible for transportation to and from the cruise ship as well as any additional on board costs not covered by the cruise booking.

You know, I just looked at the rules and she has 10 days to claim the prize. So, I'm not sure if we should be posting these "clues" My bad - I'm not saying anymore and going back and deleting any references to the winner. Sorry Tricia, if we've kaiboshed your big reveal.

We called my sister and put her on speaker phone while she watched it on her computer and it was my number. He was still convinced that SR somehow knew that was my sister and it was still part of the joke:rotfl:

I am over the moon as you can imagine. What a week it has been for the household. I'm off now to research the DCL as I know nothing about it. My daughter is watching Cinderella in celebration.

I want to thank all of you for your congrats and SR for the contest in the first place. I joked to my sister all the time that I was going to be the winner.

I joined last summer and I have been lucky enough to win a Sephora gift card, a SR pack, movie tickets and now this. I am the most unlucky person in the world but SR has been great to my family.

I am a stay at home mom and the amount of money I can make here is perfect. It's nice having something extra to buy my husband dinner out or a gift without him knowing how much it was. I used most of my rewards so far for Christmas last year but I bought a new light fixture by cashing out in paypal last month. There are so many possibilities. That's what I love.

I had 94 entries with almost all of them coming from daily surveys. Which I love. It is frustrating to qualify sometimes but I feel like I'm part of something when I see a product I reviewed out in the real world.

This last quarter wasn't good for me but I decided today that I am starting fresh and working hard to get that SM status back next quarter.

I guess I just want anyone who reads this who is wondering if SR is too good to be true to know that it's not. SR is great and I'll be cruising with them in October.:cooldance::banana:

Now I need to dig my Firm workout stuff out of the attic:p

I'm glad it went to such a happy member and one that plays with us in the forums. Please come join us in the Offers section as we track our progress towards super member for next quarter. We are implementing Faith's method and it should be a lot of fun and really helpful for everyone. I think you'll easily make it again.

My DH does believe it now. He starts his work day doing some stuff on the computer from home before he goes in. When I got up this morning there was DCL info all over the office that he had printed off the internet!

My oldest told me this morning that it was okay if just my DH and I went and the kids would stay at someone's house. I thought that was so generous of him. We live 2 states away from family and don't trust anyone else with our kids so my DH and I haven't been on a date in like 4 years. Then he told me that he was scared of boats sinking and was sure his best friend's mom wouldn't mind keeping them for just 3 days. He just wanted to spend the weekend with his friend I should have known!.:rotfl:

MnC...I have the old Firm system with the 2 tier step stool thing. It came with 3 videos I think. It is a serious workout. I ran track in high school and two hours of running at practice never made me sweat like doing the Firm does. When I bought it I didn't need to lose weight I just wanted to tone and it worked great. Now after another kid and doing GPT(sorry) I need to lose weight so I'm curious to see if it works for that. It does raise your energy level.
