I too am frustrated with the contests since they changed them to instant win. I have won a couple of times before but now I dont win at all. I do not like the new system at all!!!!!

Um..well, I just won for the very first time after two years of trying.

You have won several times? We all should be that lucky!

I like the instant contest and have won once myself but remember there are many people that belong to this group. It would be nice to win a little more often but it just doesn't happen, at least for me it doesn't.

hi.....on winning....i won,i belive it was like fall of 2006.skin care products from France,and pricey too...everyone has a chance,it's all in how many enter on a given day.have you seen the membership now???68,304!!!!so if..if..all entered,it's like the lottery .it is the luck of the draw.sooooo if you win 1 time,i call it luck,more than once,i call it very lucky.if not just keep at it,you never know..have a good day.

I must say that I agree with Denise C. I too dont win any longer and dont liek the new system. I wonder how it is set up, who logs in at what time are the names pre-picked etc? But then again I know someone who has won 2 or 3 times within a few short months. I just wonder. What is everyone else's opinion on how the instant win is set up?

No names are pre-picked. The computer (main frame) is told "There are X amount of wins for <insert day here>, generate X amount of win times". The person the enters the correct codeword at that time or the closest just past that time will win. Period, no conspiracy, no "let's make so and so win more than anyone else", no beans about it. It's like the lottery, I have just as much chance as anyone else with a ticket. If my numbers are drawn I win, if not, I don't.

I know this will sound harsh but to those of you who just want to complain about the way the instant win is run, feel free not to play any more. Increases my chances for the win.

I've won 3 times in 1.5 years. That's not a basket full of wins but I'm happy with it. I love instant win games and games I have to wait and see.

I also agree with Denise C I don't win any londer either Dont like the new system at all, Please I've tried different times of the day and still nothing Go back to the old system atleast everybody had some sort of chance

I have never won anything on the instant win,how many of you have won?If so how did you win?Idon't like this new web site I wish they would go back to the old one.

Just consider yourself lucky if you won. I have been a member for a year and a half and am still waiting for my first win and I keep on trying.

I have won once with the instant win. I was wondering if anyone else was having problems today? I put in the right code and it keeps telling me it's the wrong one and won't go through.

I can't believe the people whining about not winning any more after already winning more than once.

Sounds to me the new system is working perfectly!

EVERYONE ONE HAS A WRIGHT TO THEIR OPINION, IF YOU WIN CONGRATES IF NOT KEEP TRYING, I LOVE THE INFORMATION I GAIN FROM QUICK & SIMPLE, NO I ONLY WON TWICE, ONCE WHEN I FIRST STARTED GETTING THE MAZ. I THINK NOW 4 YEARS AGO AND THEN LAST YEAR AROUND JUNE 6. BUT STILL I LOVE READING THE MAZ. IF I WIN THEN THATS A BONUS.GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

I won after two years of trying. However, I won just a sandwich. But, at least I won, finally.

Really, I wouldn't buy the mag if I didn't get something more than a contest try out of it.

There may come a time when I stop buying it, but it will probably be because I just don't have the time to read during the day anymore.

I cannot believe that anyone can say that and mean it. I have belonged longer than I can remember, Honestly, since about 2006. I have tried almost every contest, and still have trouble getting the thing to take my security codes. I am being told the security code I enter is incorrectn no matter how careful I check it, it always says the same thing. I have written to the company, but still haven't received an answer. Please, PLEASE, please tell me how you win too much. I would really like to know how it is done. Congratulations on all of your winnings, anyway, even if you aren't happy, I can be happy for you.

IS ANY ONE OUT THERE REALLY SEEING WHAT YOU ARE READING??????Queen Shari gave a very good description of how it is done(to pick winners)for crying out loud!!!!people out there have lost every thing they worked their whole life for,and it is not over!!!!!!they are living through 500 year flooding and you people are whining about not winning more than once????maybe you will stop complaining when you pay$5 for a bag of flour or corn meal,and say maybe i was blessed to win 1 time!!!the flooded out people are counting their blessings they got out alive.if this disturbs you Brenda i apologise,but these gals are way out of bounds!!!so come on gals,be happy,someone out there wins every day,and at end of month.thats what i would love,one of the monthly ones!!what if you could not buy the mag. and you were broke,and wanted it really bad??,,the people in the floods would like their house back,so do the math.....who wins??????
