Contests

While the AOL Gold Rush contest has been fun, the odds of winning are somewhat slim.  One way to increase your odds is to enter more contests!  I love entering contests, and have won some nice things along the way.  Since this site has been so helpful to me, I thought I'd share some of the sites where I find contests:

Online-Sweepstakes.com : This site has a huge number of contests to enter.

HitContests.com : A fast site has a nice focus on big prizes. Just click the "Enter Now" links.

Contests.About.com : A decent list of contests from About.com

New Game Show on NBC 1 vs 100 - Chance to Win $$

There is a new game show premiering tonight, Friday October 13th, called "1 vs 100" on NBC at 9 pm ET.  I believe the normal air time will be 8pm ET  from now on.

While the game is airing, viewers have the chance to win $10,000 by either sending in a text message or entering online (same as Treasure Hunters) an answer to a question asked during the show.

If entering by text message (send text message to 29292 with A,B,or C -depending on question) it costs 99 cents per message plus whatever fees your cell service charges.  You can also enter for free online at http://www.nbc.com/1vs100/playwin/register.shtml (there is a limit of 10 entires).

Tonight's question: The short-lived 90s dance craze Lambada was known as what:.  The answer is B (the Forbidden Dance)

You can also play an online version of the game here:  http://www.nbc.com/1vs100/game.shtml 

Good Luck Everyone
