Does anyone enter the various giveaways that pop up on various sites (i.e. ***, Bassmaster, Omnia,  Black Rifle Coffee, etc.)?  Has anyone won anything in these type of giveaways?  I use a "burner" email address for these giveaways...one that I only use for things like giveaways and marketing promotions so I don't clog up my everyday email.  If I've entered something of interest, I check it every so often just to keep up.  But I'm starting to wonder if people actually win any of the prizes offered?  Kind of like Publisher's Clearinghouse...I've never met anyone who won, or knew someone that won, the $5,000 a week for the rest of their life.  Has anyone here won one of the big giveaways? 

I'm very selective about the ones I enter.  Some are just email address harvesters.  I used to enter a lot of gun giveaways.  Next thing you know, that email address was inundated with porn/dating emails.

I won 1st place $1250 worth of fishing related merchandise from Tackle Junkie during 50K subscibers giveaway.

Yeah...that's why I use the "burner" email instead of my everyday email.  I usually don't mind when they just want an email address but I'm quick to pause if they want my phone number.  That's when I really ask myself if the giveaway is worth it.  But then a new Toyota Tundra would be nice! ?

The ones you listed in the OP are all valid companies/organizations - Omnia for example is based less than 25 minutes from my house.

 

Those I will enter, with all required information.

 

TJ, FM and other internet personalities - na...I steer clear of those.

The list of this year's giveaways and their respective winners are here: https://www.bassresource.com/giveaway

 

Oh look!  There's a reel giveaway going on now! 

 

I never enter giveaways or raffles. I just don't care and am cynical. Maybe if it was for charity I would.

My son won a Booyah giveaway and a Livingston Lures giveaway. A friend of mine won an Okuma spinning reel from Tacklewarehouse.

Not to mention it seems your wife was on a major hot streak winning a ton of giveaways she entered (non fishing related) a couple years ago.
