Canada Safeway-Is this anyone I gave tickets too?

Wow! I just realized, that is a ton of prizes safeway is giving out! Not just for the whole contest, but even daily! The chances of winning something are better than your average store contest. If you don't enter, you'll never win, just like lottery tickets...
Trucker, I hope you'll beat your record of 9 (8?)winners from your tickets. This was from last year I assume?

I wish I won, still holding out to enter my last few tickets for once the contest ends :( I shopped at safeway today, so i got 1 ticket, lol.

Actually Loneranger I won 8 prizes for myself and 1 for a friend on the texas holdem (For a total of 9). That was 4 contests ago (about 2 years ago)they were a little pissed off at me and did their little investigation into how I got so many tickets...I entered 5000 under my name alone(found to be not guilty by them for any wrongdoing and got all my prizes). Then I skipped a whole contest. Then I started again and played a few times..not too many, but wound up with 2 prizes...then the last contest I walked away with 5 more prizes...and now we have this contest and I've really only entered a few tickets in the grand scheme of ticket entries (roughly 200 entries).

way to go everyone and kudos to trucker for sharing.....haven't won yet

the boys have a friend that works there and she saves them all for us so i have been entering a few

my kids also collect them in the parking lot....we found 2 winners in the parking lot
one was the sport set..pedometer,water bottle had weights,resistance bands and bag
the other was a letter to spell the word for the cross pen

one day i went to shoppers and safeway...they are next to each other here...it was 20x points day....did my shoppers shop and realized i didn't have my optimum card...so we had to go home and get it to bring back....walked into safeway and out saying let's just go and get the card now so i don't forget....off we go there and back...go get my points...then go to safeway do the shop and pay on the way to car i opened my 1 ticket and saw 3 watches in a row....i couldn't believe my eyes....so it was back in the store again...but if i hadn't of taken the 15 mins to go and get my optimum card i wouldn't of got that ticket....lol....sometimes it pays to be forgetfull

Good for you mom4boys1girl.

truckerofbc- what's my best bet. I found a few codes at Safeway today -- should I save up to after may 7 or ?

Well theres two ways to look at this.

First the info: the contest does run until May21 (11:59:59) and all tickets entered are valid.

Option 1: Tickets are given out until close of business May 7th. At that time no more tickets are handed out. Therefore, others who have multiple tickets are also going to be entering them.

Option 2: You wait until after the tickets are all handed out...say May 8th...and start entering all your tickets in.

Now the stats. The contest is based upon how many people participate with pins in the online contest at any given time. Now since the contest is randomly generated by a computer...the odds of winning go up when no one else has tickets to enter. In effect what you would be doing is "tricking" the computer into thinking that there are many people randomly entering the contest at one time. So statistically speaking your odds of winning should go up versus those who have entered previously one or two tickets before and are no longer entering. Does this make sense?

So to sum up, it is a choice. Do you enter them now and hope for the best while they are giving away more random prizes while the tickets are being handed out (278 this week for the last week) or do you wait and go for a higher statistical odds of winning with a lower prize count 94 prizes a week for the next 2 weeks following this week.
The choice is yours. Not an easy choice, but if I was a gambling person...i would say that you would need no less than 20 entries a day regardless to have a chance to win so I would save them and collect as many as you can until May 8th and start entering them.

i'm not sure if it's by what you enter that day for the following day's winners.. because the win hubby got i hadn't entered any codes under his name in about a month(end of march i entered codes under his name, he didn't make the winning list till end of april)

new winners are out for the weekend

thanks for the code trucker, but no win for mee

I have about two codes left so I'm going to enter the bf's name from now on and see what happens! I'd still like a watch ;)

darn still no win! i must be the unluckiest person ever!
I went to my local safeway today and found a few tickets, which I entered. *crosses fingers*

Is there a link to see the winners? Or do you have to enter a code. I think I saw it after I entered a code.

Thanks truckerinbc for the info. I only 10 codes collected and probably won't be able to get that many more, so I'll just have to super lucky.

if you have any more pins trucker I'd love some :)
