And here I was thinking I could enter every day until the end of June. That's what it said didn't it?
Proven Winners Sweepstakes
So how do we enter each day until the end of June???
And...I have to say I am extremely sympathetic to the fact Canadians can't enter. Alaska is frequently excluded from ordering from so many on-line sites and entering sweepstakes this such as this and we ARE part of the USA. It's never nice to have the carrot dangled when you can't get it through no choice of your own.

US Military overseas faces the same thing, Chocolatemoose. And we really don't have any other options, either...
Put the box with the link back! How do we enter now?
I wish you would remember that DG is an international site. Too often I get the impression that it favours US residents.
I guess we Canadians, being next to the US giant, are used to it!

Trust me, we petition for our international members anytime we entertain an opportunity like this. In this case, we strongly encouraged them to at least to all of North America. In the end, Proven Winners is the one that had to make that decision, and in fairness to them, it may be based on laws within each of our respective companies that makes it difficult for them to offer a worldwide contest. If you feel strongly about it, your best choice may be to write directly to the company and ask them to look for ways to expand their products (and contests and sweepstakes to other countries.)
Thanks, Terry. I didn't bookmark it because I thought it would always be there. Now it's here. LOL
Thanks, Terry. :-)
I would like to be able to turn this Proven Winners Sweepstakes ad off since I have other ads turned off.
It is clearly an ad for Proven Winners and is a sneaky backdoor way to force people that are subscribers
to see ads.
I entered, and got a message that I am eligible for the daily contest...does that mean I should enter every day, or that I am automatically in the daily giveaway contest?
When you enter, you get this message "Please remember, you can enter again tomorrow!"
Ahhh, okay, thanks!
sempervirens, I like this idea! We will work on having this area removed for our subscribers who prefer to have ads turned off. Thanks for the suggestion.
Critter, I am using my iPad and I get the same thing. Words on top of others.
I tried changing my font size preferences and still get the same problem on my laptop... maybe it's a Vista thing... managed to enter anyway, so I'm good! LOL
I was wondering when we will know who won. Anyone know?
Glad you asked. I was also curious.
It's a good question - let me see what I can find out :-)
Great minds must think alike - before I could contact her, Talia sent me a note with the following info:
The $300 shopping spree winner is gram_pat: http://davesgarden.com/members/gram_pat/
The $200 shopping spree winner is granny2011: http://davesgarden.com/members/granny2011/
I've sent them each an email notifying them that they won, so please join me in congratulating them!
Congratulations to the winners! Enjoy selecting all the beautiful plants by Proven Winners.
I never win anything...waahhhhh...:-(
Congratulations to the winners!
Yes indeed!
There's a couple of happy gardeners out there today!
I never win anything...waahhhhh...:-(
I can sympathize. For Mel and me, this is like working in a candy store and never getting to eat any of the goodies :-)
Congratulations! Enjoy your plant spree... :-)
Congrats! Happy weekend all.
Congrats to you both, happy plant-shopping!
