Enter for a Chance

Anybody else ever noticed that at the bottom of your Home Depot receipts there's a chance to win $5000? I didn't either. That is until my mom pointed it out. So I cut off the bottoms of each of our receipts for most of the month this month thinking while I had some down time I'd just sit on the computer and take the survey for every receipt and thus be entered to win. It can't hurt right? Well today I sat down to the computer at the beginning of Charlotte's nap and counted the receipts I have. I entered about 10 the other day and I still have 30 left! This means two things: 1) we spend way too much money/time at Home Depot and 2) we must not be very efficient with our trips to the store. I doubt very much that we would actually win, but wouldn't it be great if we did? (I especially hope that we win off the receipt for $.74 from when we went in to get an adapter for the extension cord.) Then you could all say, "Hey I know someone that won $5000 from Home Depot." And I could say, "Hey we have money that we can spend on the backyard!" Everyone in this scenario seems like a winner to me.

I use to fill out that survey for everything thing Brett bought from Home Depot.... 400 receipts later and we're still waiting to win. Hopefully you have more luck :)
