Has anyone ever won any of the instant sweepstakes?

I know it doesn't use many points but I am curious if anyone has ever won any of the instant prizes?

    Wins are few and far between.  Very discouraged at the moment.  I do think Instant Wins should be for members only.  Very discouraging to play daily and very seldom win anything.

    I have won quite a few “instant wins” over the past 4 years or so, but I never won a sweepstake, so I quit using points to enter sweepstakes altogether.

    Yes, I play daily all the instant wins I think I or my close relatives can use, & win probably once a month on average. Anecdotally I can tell you that I’ve found that if I EARN maximum points daily for several days in a row, I’m more likely to win an instant win. Although the AARP people will tell you this isn’t true, that has been my experience over the past 8-9 yrs

    Ironically, last night around midnight I won a $10 Sonic card with some throw-away points.  Shocked the hell out of me.  🤣

    Thanks for sharing your experience.  Above and beyond this silly rewards program, may you and yours be blessed.

     I have never won any instant win or sweepstakes  at all since I joined in 21.

     

     Congrats to those that have won something.

    📎@Vexed , do you play them EVERY DAY?

     Yes, I do. I might have missed a few days here and there for hubby's chemo, hard days  and hospital stays.   Pretty much play every day that I am upright.

    Like @shamit I have won 5 instant wins this year.

    It has been a very lucky year for me.  I have had 6-month periods without winning an instant win game prize.  I do nothing special; I just enter all of them every day.

    Good Luck🍀
