Free Sweepstakes Roundup

McDonald’s: Free Medium Fries on July 13

Optional Free Fries Contest

That's where most freebie announcements stop. But McDonald's is upping the ante by holding a contest where one MyMcDonald's Rewards member will win free fries for life, a prize valued at $19,685. 👀

Oh… oh please…whoever wins this, do not eat twenty grand worth of fries. Your arteries are begging you.

Where was I? Oh, right, the free heart attack lifetime fries. Finally, McDonald's says 66 customers will be rewarded with 1 million McDonald's rewards points, which can soon be redeemed for free food.

Here's how to enter.

  • Open only to residents of the 50 United States or DC who are at least 16 years old.
  • Entry begins at 12:00:00 a.m. ET on July 13, 2021, and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. ET on July 20, 2021.
  • To enter, contestants must tweet from their public Twitter account during the entry period. (Must be an original Tweet, comment or reply to a McDonald's Tweet about this contest.)
  • Tweet must include a written explanation of why you're McDonald's biggest fan and can also include (if you choose) a photo or video that exemplifies your fandom.
  • Tweet must include the tags @McDonalds, #MyMcDonaldsFanContest and a tag of the two-letter postal abbreviation for your state (e.g., #TX or #IL and more).
  • The video (if applicable) cannot exceed 60 seconds.

Torchiere Floor Lamp BoostArea 24W Giveaway

HIF Giveaway: BoostArea Floor Lamp 💡

· Disclosure

I'm happy to announce a brand new HIF giveaway. The kind folks at KOCH SYSTEME CS are giving away this free BoostArea 24W Floor Lamp!

Please enter with an email you'll check! The initial winner of our Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer Combo giveaway never responded to my congratulations emails, so I've had to move onto others.

As part of this giveaway, BoostArea sent me one of these floor lamps to try and I have to say I absolutely love it! I personally use it as a reading / mood light in the evening when I'm relaxing in my bedroom. The single power knob is located on the middle of the stem, so you don't have to bend down or reach up to use it. It also a dimmer, so it's really easy to find the exact brightness you're looking for.

The LED lights are kind of cool too! Since they're built into the lamp, the whole thing is ready to use right out of the box. I was a little worried about the bulbs bein non-replaceable, but they guarantee a 5,000 hour lifespan. Assembly couldn't have been easier either – it was literally just screwing a few parts together and you're all set.

BoostArea Lamp Raffle

Giveaway ends on Thursday, March 18, 2021 at noon EST. Winner will be contacted via email by Friday, March 19, 2021.

Free Sweepstakes Roundup

Free Contests to Try Your Luck, January Week 3 🥇

· Disclosure

I'd like to point out something regarding gift card prize. Even if the prize is for a brand or store you aren't interested in, you should still enter! Gift card prizes are easily swapped out for straight cash money with only a tiny drop in value. For instance, if you won a $1,000 gift card for a store you'll never shop at, don't worry! You could sell it on eBay or Raise.com and put $950+ in your pocket!

In other occurrences, you can get a check in place of the prize! You'd be surprised how many contest fine prints offer to swap out the prize in place of an easy check.

With that said, let's get to this week's Try Your Luck contest roundup!

As always, we keep an updated list of free instant win sweepstakes you can enter as well. These are different types of free giveaways where you find out if you won right after you enter! Also, if you've won anything form this series, please let us know! I'm dusting off our page of lucky winners 🙂
