It seems to be totally random so the only tip I can give is just to play it everyday. I have hit it 3 times doing that plus I have also hit the weekly prize once.

CONGRATS our Tigger @4Tigger2 !!! 💃🎉👍🙃

I decided to FOCUS on Staples, Michael's, Home Depot THIS MONTH.

Geez, got groceries at Kroger this morning & nearly had my 1st heart attack. $4.19 for their gas. 😱

Lol, I am 1/2 tank & usually "fill up" when I do. Nope, will lay low & fill up NEXT month. Used my EXPIRING Kroger points for $4 off my bill today. Grateful!!! 👍

Oh, I did get a chance to "taste" my 1st Jersey Mike's sandwich. A kind neighbor had picked it up when she and her family went. It was FREE, bless her. But that is my 1st & last from them. 🤮 My cat got the meat inside it. NO "seasoning" in my humble opinion. Luv my SUBWAY!!!

In closing, I am hoping to be one of the 15 winners for the Staples Sweepstakes. 🤞

Maybe IF gas ever "goes down" AGAIN 😉, I will return to my "experimenting" with NEW PLACES. For now, I pass Staples on my way to Kroger. BOTH a hop & a skip from my hill here in Virginia.

I notice they have a Publix on Rewards Site. Oh well, maybe one day I will stop by the 1st one in my location. Use to use them all the time in Florida. I just donot understand how they ALL make money??? Lol, it is like a 4-corner in Florida had 4 gas stations. Really!!!

Good Luck All,

Nicole 🤗💛

I won twice on instant wins this month! An IHop $10 egc on Sept 12 and a $10 Darden egc on the 19th!

Ive started entering the iwg everyday, doing 2 at a try for any in my area, since July when I won. No wins in August, but i keep trying and this month has been great! Different times of day and in the wee hours.

I haven't been to either of these restaurants since Covid. Today, I ordered to go from Olive Garden. The lunch portion spaghetti w/ 2 meatballs, salad, 2 breadsticks for $11.99 and the "to go" $6 option spaghetti (this was larger than the lunch portion but is only pasta, prepared earlier and refrigerated to be eaten later). Total was $17.99 plus $4 tip. Paid $22 minus the $10 egc.

Split with Mom. We will both have 2 meals from the salad and our separate pasta (I put one meatball in the to go). Very nice way to enjoy an upgrade from fast food at home.

Good luck to all!

Good luck to all!

Andrew @andrewtoo , I am "thinking" it depends on how POPULAR the card is & IF it is the LAST day to win it. Lol, but NOT saying I have all this "figured" out. CONGRATS my friend!!! 🎉🙃👍💃

Still at ONE Instant Win (Staples) for 2026 which I had won THIS MONTH 9/4 at about 8:30pm ET.

I have been using our Les's @LesL269823 ADVICE about trying for the "less" popular cards. Seemed to work for me with the Staples Instant Win I won.

I only "play" for the cards I want NOT all of them. And I play when I "remember" & have the time & not asleep. 😉

Anyone else won YESTERDAY/TODAY or have any tips to share with us?

GOOD luck All,

Nicole 💛🤗

I may not win again for months, but, I just won another IW at 1:40AM ET this morning.

That is three in one month and that has never happened before.

It makes me wonder if people are discouraged by the points needed for

gift card redemptions and don’t want to spend even more time to earn the points for instant wins?

Good Luck Everybody

Anyone won any YESTERDAY?

Geez, won my 1st for this year on 9/4 about 8:30pm ET (Staples) & hoping to win at least another one before 2027 arrives. 🤞

GOOD LUCK All,

Nicole!

Have FUN with all this & just try when you think of it.

Lol, NOT sure "if" this made a difference, but the 1 Instant Win I won THIS MONTH (Staples) was on the LAST DAY.

Maybe "trying" LATE (night) on that LAST DAY may help. My Staples happened about 8:30pm ET.

I’m always sorry to read about people who never win an Instant Win game. I try to play every day, and I play all of the Instant Wins that are available.

I won on 9/1/26 and 9/7/26, which is unusual. The entry on 9/1/26 was via the free entry method at 7:30 PM ET and on the 7th at around 11:50 PM ET spending the 75 points.

I just continue playing and, eventually, I win...8 times this year so far.

Good Luck (if you are still trying to win)!
