AdvilpmSweeps.com For $10,000

Pam Gaulin
March 2, 2008 - AdvilpmSweeps.com is hot right now. Why? Because it is a sweepstakes that could win you $10,000. Today, March 2, 2008 is the first day to enter the AdvilpmSweeps.com contest. AdvilpmSweeps.com runs through June 1, 2008.

Per normal sweepstakes rules, there is no purchase necessary to enter the AdvilpmSweeps.com, and the contest may not be open to residents of all U.S. states.

My Experience with Sweepstakes Contests

First, let me explain how I really feel about sweepstakes. I am not a gambler. I don't buy scratch tickets and I don't do the lottery. But, before I found Associated Content and my son was up every two hours and I couldn't sleep, I used to enter a lot of online sweepstakes contests.

I was pretty methodical about entering every day and had organized bookmarks of different sweepstakes from well-known companies. The prizes ranged from $10,00 prizes, similar to the AdvilpmSweeps.com, vacations, and baby products.

I probably entered between 30 and 40 contests daily for two months. What did I receive for my efforts? Did I win? No. I received piles and piles of travel brochures from some states, that will remain nameless, that I don't ever want to visit again.

Luckily I use a post office box, so the overwhelming mail was not causing the local mail carrier any physical pain.

Sweepstakes Lesson

What I learned is that many of these sweepstakes, some which claim to give away $10,000 a month, are just trying to get your contact information. This seems pretty obvious now, but I was surprised at how many legitimate companies and brand name companies engaged in this activity.

AdvilpmSweeps.com

When I first found out about AdvilpmSweeps.com I checked out the web site. It had the Wyeth Consumer Information on it, so it looks pretty legitimate. To be sure, I went to another Advil web site.

Sure enough, there was a banner advertisement for AdvilpmSweeps.com on another Wyeth web site. This confirmed for me that the sweepstakes was indeed sponsored by Wyeth.

AdvilpmSweeps.com Prizes

Okay, you want to know about the AdvilpmSweeps.com prizes. the grand prize is $10,000 or a resort vacation.

First prize in the AdvilpmSweeps.com is a $100 SpaFinders gift certificate.

Second prize is AdvilPM product and a fleece blanket.

Wyeth Consumer Health

Wyeth Consumer Health is a publicly-traded company on the NYSE. Wyeth manufactures and sells over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, as well as animal health products.

Disclaimer: Read the official Rules and Regulations provided by Wyeth. I am not associated with Wyeth Consumer Health. I no longer spend time entering sweepstakes contests.

Also, if you receive any travel brochures or other marketing materials, don't be surprised.
