How I Won Over 100 Thousand Pesos in Cash and Prizes in Three Months

I started joining contests and giveaways years ago and honestly, I can consider myself as one of the lucky ones! What drives me to join giveaways and contests? The main reason it to WIN! 

When I started joining contests and giveaways online, I am skeptical because my thinking was always on the negative side until I won something and proved myself that I was wrong. And, the eagerness, challenge and excitement sets in every time I list down competitions I am interested to join. 

Over the years I have compiled photos and lists of prizes I won online and every time I upload a new one it feels so nice to stroll down memory lane and see the prizes I received. I can say that luck paved the way. 

On this blog, I am featuring my recent prizes I got over the summer (three months!), amounting to more than Php100,000 pesos in cash and prizes!

Last April of this year I joined Red Ribbon's Graduation photo contest. My daughter graduated from elementary and bought their graduation cake for Php550 which was the main item needed in the photo contest along with the graduate. From the Php550 cake bought I won one MacBook Air 11" worth Php40,990. There were 32 winners nationwide and so thankful that our entry was included as one of the winners, that was announced a month after.

Red Ribbon was so accommodating and they facilitated the shipment of the prize especially to provincial winners like me. 

This is the MacBook Air prize and I am using it right now to blog. ;)

June 05, 2017 When Tang Philippines announced their batch of winners for the Tang Pic-A-Summer Promo Theme 3. And one of my photo entries won until now I don't have a clue on what picture they chose. :) The prize was Php10,000 in cash and I got it today on my atm. It took less than 2 months of waiting, I am grateful for this! We bought 5 dozen sachet packets and joined since the promo started. 

The grandest, unexpected and the last prize, for now, is the Yamaha YTX 125 courtesy of Binggrae Philippines! It was also a photo contest along with the product purchased. I won in the second-month draw using the selfies we took when we bought Binggrae ice cream worth Php400 in total. Followed the mechanics and sent in entries. We just took the chance in joining, though we were joking around what if we win the motorcycle, then that's it. Again, it was unexpected luck! The draw was July 1st and we were offline the time the raffle was announced and coming from a weekend trip, tired and exhausted I never got the chance to check online not until Monday when I received the email announcement. 

This was the display unit when we went to Yamaha showroom together with Binggrae representative to receive the unit and arranged delivery going to Olongapo. The prize amount is Php49,990 with a year of registration fewer accessories such as helmets and the rest. I paid the Php1000 delivery charge which they processed a week after the photos were taken. 

Aside from the Yamaha motorcycle we also got the consolation prize of Php1000 worth of Binggrae products! 

This post is not to brag or a show-off but to appreciate and give testimonies about online contests and raffles. I am just excited to share to you guys what a blessing to receive prizes that you wish for. 

There are companies that are so generous when it comes to prizes whether online or offline promos. You just need to be aware of where and what you are joining. There are a lot of scam promos everywhere, where they can lure you in every way possible. I personally will not join if I need to pay anything, but buying their products because it is included in the mechanics, let's say a selfie contest I would definitely join. 

I hope this can inspire every one reading when it comes to joining a raffle contest. 

Again, to Red Ribbon, Tang Philippines, and Binggrae Philippines... Thank you so much! :)

Avon Cherish Eau de Parfum Instagram Prize

Avon was so generous with their giveaways and promos all across their social media sites. 

A few months back when I claimed my Avon Sheer Passion -Simply Tempting spray cologne when I won their Instagram promo. You can check my blog here. when I featured it and made a review about it. Today, I am making another Avon prize post which was from last month's announcement.

Avon gave 100 bottles of this new line of fragrance to their fans over at Instagram and me and three more from my family won.

Avon Cherish 50ml Eau de perfume, it was described as Floral fruity woody. A tender floral scent with a heart of jasmine sambac, precious musks, and creamy woods. Like a warm embrace, it lasts all day long.

I got the two bottles for myself, and the other two for my mother. She opened a bottle to test and she gave me a not so favorable feedback about the scent. I guess the scent is not a match for outdoor that gives a strong musky scent which my Mom described it.

I had a second thought of opening one bottle and try it for myself, but still my curiosity sets in.

I decided to bring it to work and use it there since I am indoors most of the time.

I am wearing the scent now and yep it works fine indoors at a cool temperature.

The scent is nice and sweet leaving a musky floral scent too.

Avon Cherish Eau de perfume in a 50ml bottle, you can get a bottle at Php 699.00. The box is a square shaped container with a touch of peach-orangey tinge on the side plus the word Cherish. 

The bottle perfume image is down below, a clear glass bottle and a plastic cover and with the gold sprayer with Avon word printed on it. The perfume liquid color is light brown. I love the sleek and gorgeous looking design of the bottle which makes it look elegant in your dresser. And, yeah based on the smell it will really do work fine when indoors. I have been using it for a week now and I am loving it. Curious about the product visit you Avon representative now and get a bottle and enjoy the scent of Cherish.

Thank you, Avon Instagram page for the four bottles of Cherish! :)
