  1. Luck on Friday the 13th

    Rachel Shahvar.jpgThree or four weeks ago Rachel Shahvar of San Francisco started looking on the Internet for risk-free sweepstakes, “something that didn’t cost anything to enter,” she said.  In about five minutes she found AdJack near the top of a list of the top one hundred sweepstakes.  “I’m in the advertising industry, so I thought, ‘why not? Watch some ads, maybe win some money.’” So she signed on for her first contest ever. On November’s Friday the 13th she checked her numbers, and wham, there they were, matched right up for the $1,000 CrackaJack.

    Was she shocked to win so quickly?  Um, not particularly.  “My friends tell me I’m lucky,” she said.  “I win stuff all the time.”

    The digital artist for a Sausalito advertising agency said she’s going to put her winnings in the bank, then had a second thought.  “Maybe I’ll take my boyfriend out to dinner.”… more

  2. Psyched in Illinois

    Mikaela OsilajaMikaela Osilaja was looking for good sweeps contests on the Internet one day last summer when AdJack popped up.  Some weeks she plays often, and some weeks not at all.  The week of September 25 she looked up a few Geiko ads, and voila, she’s $1,000 richer. 

    The Joliet, Illinois psychology major is a senior at Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois.  She says she doesn’t have much time for playing sweeps during the school year, but when she does, it’s usually AdJack.

    “It’s a good way to look up ads you may have missed on regular television,” she says.  “Usually on Adjack you can see the full length of the ad.  On TV, sometimes they’re cut short.”… more

  3. Winners’ Circle Expands to Include Three

    Winners from Indiana, Rhode Island, and Texas make up the first-ever trio of AdJack winners. Their lucky numbers came up on Friday, October 16. Charlotte Klein, Ronnie Henry, and Don LaCroix have one thing in common—they are all AdJack regulars.

    The win is a windfall for Charlotte Klein of South Bend, Indiana, who has been recuperating physically and financially from sickness that left her jobless earlier this year. She was recently able to resume her cab driving job in the hometown of Notre Dame just in time for busy weekends when football fans from all over the nation flood into town.

    “When I got the email that I had won, I was absolutely elated” she says. “I love the site. It’s a real stress buster for me. Sometimes I drive for fourteen or eighteen hours a day, and I don’t have time for much of anything else. The money is a blessing, believe me. I’ve been feeling lucky lately, and life is beginning to get better.

    Ronnie Henry of Ft. Worth, Texas is taking it easy these days after 30 years of pounding the pavement carrying the U.S. mail. Among his favorite pastimes now is logging onto AdJack.tv.

    He comes regularly to the site, looking at commercials, sometimes putting his two cents’ worth in when he likes or doesn’t like them, and every week, he hopes for the big MadJack win. He says he’ll keep coming back, with his eyes firmly on the prize. “I’m hoping for that MadJack” he says. “That’s it for me.”

    In the meantime, he’ll spend his winnings on his 14-year old son and two grandchildren, a boy and a girl.  “They love their Paw Paw,” Ronnie says.

    Crackajack winner, Don LaCroix.

    For nearly two years now, Don LaCroix of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, has been getting up every morning and faithfully going to AdJack where he watches his five commercials and enters his numbers. AdJack isn’t the only sweep he enters, but it’s the only one that’s paid off so far.

    “This is the first time I’ve ever won anything,” Don says “I was very surprised when I got the email.”

    Even though he hasn’t won in the past, he says he’s not discouraged. “I’ve always believed you can’t win if you don’t play” he says. The plus with AdJack is that he enjoys the process."Some of the ads I really enjoy watching. Shaq as a jockey is pretty funny. And I like the E-Trade talking babies.  But the best thing about AdJack is the odds, he says. “They’re pretty good. That’s always a plus.”

    His win came at a very good time. “My wife’s birthday is coming up” he says. “This will help.”… more
