This is for all of you frugal guys and gals out there who do the online surveys, bonus emails, etc. I am a member of "My Points," and this month they are having a bonus game where you can win "jackpot" of accumulated points. I gave it a shot this morning at about 6:30, and yes, I caught the "lucky clover," and won over 25000 points! That translates into about $150. Yea, my name is on the winners list, too. Cool, huh?

cool! I have always wonder if "real" people ever win;-)

I am always a skeptic and think everything is a scam LOL but woohoo for you !!!

Hey, Congrats!!!

Thank you. I just refigured it- it's more like $170.00 (me and my poor math skills). Yes, real people do win. I've belonged to this group for about a year, and up until this morning, I'd earned $40.00 in gift certificates. It helps buy the gas every few months. I think I'll cash in my points for $170.00 Walmart gift card, and use it to purchase my gas for a few months. I'll then take the money I would have otherwise spent on gas and redirect it to one of my savings accounts. Sexy, huh?

It's running to the end of the month, so you can still join and try daily until the end of March.

Congrats! I spent way too much time trying to catch that darn clover. I even had my daughter sit and do it for a while, but no luck.
Enjoy your win!

That must have been a smile maker, indeed.

You can sit and do it all day, but only the first game of the day "counts." I clicked on the small print, and that was in the official rules.
