Walmart and Cocaine



Wal-Mart and Cocaine

A True Store of stupidity

There are a lot of stories and pictures about the people that work or shop at Walmart. I have a True Story of utter Walmart employee stupidity that has never been told.


Its a short story.


I was about 19 maybe 20 years old. I went with my cousin who was just under 2 years older than me to Walmart. To get what you ask, my favorite soft drink Coca-Cola. You ever have one of those times your just dying for a ship of your favorite drink? Your lips are salivating just at the thought of that delicious Coca-Cola. Well this was one of those times for me. I went to the soda isle with my cousin and to my great disappointment there was no Coke left on the shelf. I thought how can this be this is Wal-Mart they must have more coke in another section, maybe in the warehouse.


I go looking for someone that can answer this very important question for me. I look everywhere and am unable to find a Walmart employee that is free to help Finally I see a Walmart employee in the electronic department that is free to answer my question.

I go up to her and asked in a daze, "Your all out of Coke! Do you have any more Coke anywhere?"


Her Answer "We don't sell Coke here"!! in a very serious face she says to me


I walk away in an utter daze wondering what just happened. How could she don't know that WalMart sells Coke Products. Then it hit me she must have thought I was asking or Cocaine!! I mean if she was saying they don't have Coke in the electronics department a normal individual would say I work in the electronics department I don't know but let me find someone that can help.


But no she tells me they don't sell Coke.  Just Crazy. Yep that's it that's my Walmart story.


 

My Encounter with Cleveland Cavalier Channing frye



My Encounter with Cleveland Cavaliers' Channing Frye's

A Small Man's Tail


For those who are watching the NBA playoffs you have probably heard of Channing Frye, especially if you are a Cleveland Cavalier's fan. Many a moon ago I met Channing Frye. He attended the same high school I went to in Phoenix Arizona. I was a sophomore when he was a senior.


At the high school before you could stand in line for lunch if you wanted to purchase lunch from the cafeteria you hand to wait in line until the door were opened. Really we didn't wait in line we are all bunched together about ready to brawl in order to get to the front of the line. At the time I was into weight lifting and I wore tight shirts and thought I was a strong guy for 15 years old. I'll never forgot one day in line getting ready to push and shove my way to the front of the line....


It was a sunny and hot day and we could not wait until we could get into the nice and cool air conditioned cafeteria and all of a sudden I realized there was a gigantic shadow all around me morphing my short 5 foot 3 inches stature. I turn around and it was Channing Frye.


You ever have one of the time maybe as a small child when you come across a big adult or maybe your father and you realize, "Man I am Small". Well this was indeed one of those times. Technically I have that feeling everyday but in particular this time.

The doors open to the cafeteria and needless to say I knew when I was beat and moved to the back of the line. Its important to be reminded there is always someone bigger, stronger, faster and smarter than you. Its these experiences that causes us to strive to be better.

Sweepstakes You Should be Entering But are Not


If you want to be successful entering sweepstakes and start winning some really great, amazing prizes you need to know a few tricks. One of the tricks of the trade is understanding the odds of winning the sweepstakes. You will want to look at how many people are entering the sweepstakes versus how many prizes are being given away. I have come across a way to improve your odds of winning sweepstakes.


You will want to drop what you are doing and head to your computer , tablet, smartphone. Start going to you local radio station websites and enter their sweepstakes and contests.


WAIT ONE MINUTE!!...... You need to be the 7th caller to win radio station sweepstakes!!

Well this might have been the case at one time but not anyone. All radio stations that I have come across have a large number of giveaways they are offering for sporting events, local festivals, concerts and more. The reason why you have such a good chance of winning radio station sweepstakes is they are limited to residents of the state. You read that Correct!!! Your odds of winning such went up big time. The second reason why I rate radio station sweepstakes as sizzling hot is a lot of people do not realize you can go to radio stations websites to enter sweepstakes. When most people think of a radio stations giveaways they think you need to be a certain caller or have the giveaway keyword  and be the lucky caller. The result is very few people entering the radio station sweepstakes but the prizes are still very nice.

Now you do need to keep in mind that you will most likely need to go to the radio station to pick up your winnings. So, when you start entering radio station sweepstakes keep that in mind. If you live in Miami you might not want to enter sweepstakes in Tampa. That would be a long drive.


I have personally won MLB tickets, NHL tickets and local festival tickets and I just recently added radio station sweepstakes to my list of sweepstakes I enter.

So, you might be asking I don't know what radio stations are in my area. Google is your friend! Just do Google search and you will come across tons of radio stations in your area.

So, you want to start winning sweepstakes, going to free sporting events, free concerts, and festivals in your areas...You now have the tool to make it happened. Starting entering those radio station sweepstakes.

55 Million People enter Sweepstakes



55 Million People Enter Sweepstakes Each Year

Join the Fastest Growing Club in the World


Its true 55 million people enter sweepstakes each year according to an ABC news report!! While a lot of people are entering sweepstakes each year, very few actually win. The reason is not they are unlucky but they don't know the tips to being successful entering sweepstakes. Its like anything in life. You typically are not successful when you are new at something. You need some help and guidance from some that has some experience.  

For this reason I created a free website www.sweepstakesfinder.net to help the newbies get off on the right foot. Still the site is perfect for anyone that wants to go to one place for tons of sweepstakes to enter and win.


I am always winning prizes and getting packages in the mail and I want to share what I have learned with you to help you increase your odds of winning free prizes and cash. Most likely you won't win the HGTV dream house but if you follow my advice and enter the sweepstakes on my site you will win prizes if you are in it for the long haul and do not give up!!


One tip I will give you without asking you to visit my free website www.sweepstakesfinder.net is you need to enter more than just one sweepstakes. The problem is most of the 55 million people that enter sweepstakes just enter the big one's that everyone knows about such as the HGTV and Publisher Clearing House. To be successful and win prizes and cash you need to enter lots of sweepstakes and in particular the ones that everyone in the United States Does NOT knows about. The reason is simply the more people that enter a sweepstakes the lesser your chance are of winning. So, once you start discovering the lesser known sweepstakes that still give away great prizes such as, gaming consoles, Camera, TV's, gift card... you will find yourself starting to win some really great prizes.


So, please visit my site and starting entering sweepstakes and following my advice contained on my Free site. You can also feel free to message me or comment with any questions you have and I will answer within 24 hours in most cases.

Best of Luck to Everyone!!





Tips to Beat the Casino Slots

B

Tips to Beat the Casino Slots

Don't be fooled


Image result for slots


By now you probably have seen tons of youtube video and blog post that claim to give you the hidden golden secret that you can use to win at slots. In facts I saw an ad for this while on Facebook which caused me to create this post. Now I like the casino just as much as anyone else that goes to the casino. The excitement of walking out a big winner is undeniable.

The TRUTH is there is not secret to beating the casino slots. Casino slots these days are run by a computer that decides whether what the slot spin will pay out at literally in a blink of a second. Anyone claiming to have a secret they can sell you to cause you to always win at slots is trying to scam you. There are some facts you can keep in mind that I will share you will.

1. Casino set the machines to pay at a certain percentage. The 1 cent machines will be set at a lower percentage than the quarter machines and dollar machines and so one. That is a absolute fact, which depending on the state you live in you can verify by going to your state gambling board.

2. You need to look at the payout and what you have to put in to win. For example you see a 1 cent machine and might be thinking Jackpot! I mean how much money can you lose on a 1 cent machine. Well you can lose much much more than a quarter machine. I've seen plenty of 1 cent machine where if you want to play the max you can spend $3 - $6 per spin!!! Whereas, you could easily find a quarter machine that will  cost much less per spin.

3. Look at the Jackpot and how much you have to bet to win the jackpots. There are machines out there such as the "Quickhits" slot machine that in order to win the jackpot showing on the screen you must bet the max or you will win a much lesser amount then what the jackpot is showing.

4. Go to the casino with a certain amount of money and stick to it. The casino has ATM machines all over the place. Don't get tempted to take out money once what you brought is gone. Stick to the limit of cash you brought with you.

5. Don't get fooled that you are due to Win! This is a common misconception if you have lost money on a machine or have been on a machine for a while that you are due to win or get a bonus game. This is absolutely false!! The odds do not increase the longer you play, they are the same with every spin.

6. Don't think if you get off a machine and someone else sits down and hits a jackpot that the jackpot would have been yours if you stayed on the machine. Again, slots are run by a computer and the odds of winning do not increase with the more money you have lost or the longer you have been on the machine. In this scenario where you get off the machine someone sits down and hits the jackpot. In order for you to have won that jackpot you would have had to hit the "spin" button at the very "exact" time the other person hit the "spin" button.

The last piece of advice I can give you is go to the casino to have some fun not to win money to pay a bill or take a vacation. There are other games such as blackjack and poker where if you know what your doing the odds are fairly decent.  But Slots is not one of those games you can ever come ahead. I've won $1,000 jackpot and I still have lost more money than I have won at the casino.

To be honest if you want to win some money or try to win something free. There are plenty of sweepstakes and promotions you can enter that will cost you nothing and still will give you a fairly good chance of winning something.

Visit www.sweepstakesfinder.net if you are interested in giving sweepstakes a chance.

I will be posting another blog post on scratcher tickets very soon.

Businesses are Spending Billions on Sweepstakes, Contests and Giveaways

Get your Piece of the Pie


Yes!! you read that right businesses are giving away Billions in Giveaways, Sweepstakes and Contests. Its truly a Huge GIGANTIC business. From large companies to smaller companies to bloggers everyone now a days is giving away free stuff. The reason is simple businesses want more customers and in a competitive market its a real challenge to attract more customers. Its a Fact that people of all walks of life like to get stuff for nothing. When you get something you deem as having value for nothing your brain sends endorphins and you feel good and you will even have better image of the company that gave you something for nothing. Another reason why business are spending a great deal on sweepstakes and promotion is because it attracts customers that might never have heard of them. Just think of how many people might visit a website if they could win a great prize and all you needed to do was visit a website or blog. Most people are in it just for the sweepstakes entry, however, business get enough new visitors that will take the time to explore the products of the business to make it worth while.

I am constantly getting packages in the mail from a sweepstakes I entered and won. 

Easy right?... But where do I start you might be asking yourself? Where do I find these billion dollar worth of sweepstakes.

Well it can be a bit of a challenge when your new to entering sweepstakes. I recommend you check out www.sweepstakesfinder.net This site contains a lot of instant win, daily entry, one time entry and Facebook sweepstakes you can enter everyday. The site is free to use and you don't need to join or give any personal information.

Entering Sweepstakes Takes Too LONG!!





Entering Sweepstakes Takes Too Long!!

The Secret to cut the time it takes to enter a sweepstakes by 90%!!


So a few years ago I had started entering sweepstakes. I started to Experience some Success. I had gotten bitten by the sweepstakes bug and I was hooked. Entering sweepstakes and winning a prize produces the same euphoric feeling winning at the casino.  But its better than the casino because free sweepstakes  are what the name says "free" whereas as the casino your bound to lose your shirt or at least some money. Trust me I've Won at the Casino and I've lost Big and its depressing to lose Big. So, get your prize winning entertainments for free by entering free sweepstakes. A Great Site, my Site www.sweepstakesfinder.net has a lot of sweepstakes you can enter to get started and I update it regularly. So, please check it out. Ok enough with promoted my site lets get back to why your here. You want to reduce the amount of time it takes to enter an online sweepstakes.

So, some more background...

I wanted to keep entering sweepstakes rather than going to the casino and losing all my money. I felt at least with online sweepstakes I won't lose anymore of my hard earned money Plus! I can still win some pretty cool stuff.


Yep that me and my cousin at the Arizona Diamondbacks home opener Poolside with all the food and drinks we wanted. Not to mentioned we got on TV. This was one of the pretty cool stuff I am talking about that you can win.



I'll get to the good part very soon....


So, I did have one problem I was working full time and just didn't have the time to spend everyday entering hundreds of sweepstakes. This is most likely the case with you as well unless your independently wealthy. So, the reason... with most sweepstakes you need to enter a good amount of information about yourself (Name, Email Address, Confirm email address, physical address, phone number...). This can take a lot of time, especially if you use your smartphone more than your computer/laptop like me.


After searching and searching I finally found the solution and it was Technology.


Seems now a days if there is any kind of problem big or super small there is a technology that can solve your problem.


I found out the trick, the Secret that ended up saving me tons of time.

So, here it is...there are apps you can download to your smart phone that will pre-populated certain information directly into the sweepstakes form. I literally touch a couple bottoms and for the most part the sweepstakes form is completely filled out. I use an app called "Fillr". I'm not associated with "Fillr" nor am I getting paid for telling you about the app. I have honestly found the app to be very useful and it has saved me a lot of time. Now there are some kinks and it won't work 100% for all sweepstakes. Still I have found for the most time it does work for the vast majority of sweepstakes I am entering and it really does save me a ton of time.

How much time will it actually save you. Well I tested it. One day I used the app and the other day I did not. I entered the exactly same number of sweepstakes and the exact same sweepstakes on both days.

Without the app I ended up spending just a little over 1 hour and a half. The day I used the app I  spent about 15 minutes. I recommend you go to your Google or Apple app store and look at what apps are available. I use "Fillr" but I'm sure there are other good one's out there as well. 

So, STOP spending hours a day entering sweepstakes and use all the technology out there to help make the most out of your valuable time.

I hope you enjoyed this article. If you want to see more articles on entering sweepstakes please comment, like share this post. I'll be working on developing additional post and some Video's.

Note: Since I do use "Fillr" if you want to download the application and if you have any questions or need any help with using the application I would be happy to help and answer your questions.

How Do People Win Sweepstakes?





sweepstakesfinder.net





How to Win Sweepstakes

Without Getting Fed to the Dog!







1. Find Sweepstakes to Enter.

There tons of sweepstakes out there to enter. If you go to Google and in your search engine just type in online sweepstakes or sweepstakes and contests you WILL come across lots of sweepstakes you can enter for free. A great website with tons of sweepstakes to enter is www.sweepstakesfinder.net  which you can check out as well.


www.sweepstakesfinder.net

2. Decide on which Sweepstakes you want to Enter.

There are literally hundreds of sweepstakes you can enter everyday, 365 and to enter every sweepstakes out there everyday it would be a full-Time Job. You need to decide the types of prizes you want to win and which sweepstakes you want to enter. Think about what prizes you want to win, how many prizes are available and the odds of winning. Most sweepstakes will tell you how many prizes are available and the prizes that are being given away.















3. Read the Fine Print




Certain sweepstakes have age and locations requirements. Some sweepstakes have limitations on how often you can enter. Know the rules before entering or you could get yourself disqualified.












4. Tax Man Yeah ah Tax Man
 
Tax Man besides being an awesome George Harrison Beatle song you do need to remember the Tax Man when it comes to entering sweepstakes. Disclaimer I'm not a IRS Tax lawyer. In my experience you do need to pay taxes on your sweepstakes wins based on the fair market value. So, you win a $2,000 TV and by the time you get the TV its worth $1,800 you would have to report $1,800 as income. Now on your smaller prizes you should not expect to receive a 1099 form. On your larger prizes you should expect to receive a 1099 form in the mail from the sweepstakes sponsor. When you win a large prize the sweepstakes sponsor will have you fill out an affidavit form. If your not required to fill out an affidavit form odds are your won't get a 1099 form.
















5. Enter the Sweepstakes of your choosing

Now its time to enter the sweepstakes of your choosing. Most sweepstakes these days allow you to enter online. Just MAKE SURE to enter as many times as the rules of the sweepstakes dictate.


 










6. The Waiting Game



So, now the waiting game begins. Shortly after the sweepstakes entry period ends the winners will be chosen.





7. LUCKY DUCKY YOUR A WINNER


If you are a winner you typically will get notified through an email or phone call. Sometimes you do get a UPS Package surprise. If you receive an email or phone call don't wait to respond!! Most sweepstakes promotions have a short period of time which you need to respond to claim your prize. Failure to respond within the stated timeframe will result in you losing your prize and it going to someone else. RESPOND RIGHT AWAY IF YOU ARE A WINNER.


8. If you are not a Winner.... Wait How can that happen?


You can't win them all and you will have some sweepstakes you will not win. Don't get defeated and upset there are hundreds of sweepstakes out there everyday and you WILL eventually win one.










Happy Sweeping and don't forget visit www.sweepstakesfinder.net to start entering sweepstakes and winning amazing, awesome prizes now.

Entering Sweepstakes Do's and Don't

www.sweepstakesfinder.net








The Do's of Don't of Entering Sweepstakes

TOP 5 LIST

 
#1 - DO FOLLOW THE RULES



Certain Sweepstake only let you enter once for the entire period of the sweepstakes. Some of these sweepstakes will let you know you can't enter again others will disqualify you from the sweepstake promotion even for accidently entering a second time. Other sweepstakes have certain age and location requirements. Break the rules and you could be disqualified. Other sweepstakes let you enter one a day, everyday of the promotion. For these sweepstakes you want to enter everyday.

#2 DON'T GIVE UP


Everyone that has been entering sweepstakes for a period of time goes through DRY SPELLS where it might seem like you will never win anything again. DON'T GIVE UP. EVERYONE goes through this and it will fade and you will be soo excited when you will something again. But you will only be excited if you DON'T GIVE UP.

#3 DO ENTER MORE THEN ONE KIND OF SWEEPSTAKES


So, just like apples there are many different kinds of sweepstakes you can enter. There are instant win, daily entry, weekly entry, one time entry, facebook, twitter, intsagram, radio station, referral.....You wouldn't limit yourself to just one kind of apple. Likewise enter sweepstakes in all of the categories to get the best results. I love the instant win sweepstakes because you find out right away if you have won and there is no waiting, however, I still enter and have had success with all of the different kinds of sweepstakes.

#4. DO SET ASIDE TIME EVERYDAY







You need to set aside a certain amount of time to enter sweepstakes everyday. To be successful you really need to make some time to enter sweepstakes everyday versus sporadically entering sweepstakes. Consider how much time do I have to spend a day. If you have plenty of time there is a never ending supply of sweepstakes to enter and enter them all. If you have a limited amount of time consider what the prize is, how many winners there  
 
 
#5 REAILITY VS EXPECATIONS
 
 
 
Put your expectations in check with reality. There are big prizes for houses, cars and big money, however, don't go into sweepstakes expectations to beome a millionaire to to be able to quit your job and just entering sweepstakes. If you put the proper effort in you will win nice prizes and you will have a good time entering sweepstake. But don't expect to be able to become a millionaire or do this as a full time job.
