August 2023 Featured Winners

Every day is a great day to enter Winstakes. After all, it’s totally free, super easy, and with the prospect of winning as much as $500,000, it’s exciting to think that one of your entries could be chosen as the next lucky winner! Our list keeps growing as new names are added and cash prizes are awarded completely free of charge to the winners!

Winstakes is simple and straightforward. All prizes are cash and collecting when you win is as easy as replying to your winner email notification. Keep in mind, that’s the only way we notify our winners and arrange to pay their prize money. If you win under $2,500, you can choose between a check, PayPal or Amazon Gift Card. Prizes over that amount are paid by check to a verified postal mailing address. So be sure to use your best email when entering, meaning the one you can easily check the most often!

On top of the big cash prizes, we also have daily and weekly cash prize giveaways which is always fun to win because, hey, who doesn’t want some free spending money?! Eugene K. in Orange, Texas, sure did because he entered and won the $25 Daily Cash Prize on August 1! That could mean a serious Taco Tuesday at Two Amigos Mexican Restaurant or dinner for two at Ten West Diner!

Chris S. from Charlotte, North Carolina, also has some cash on hand since winning the $50 Weekly Giveaway on August 5! Perhaps you’ll grab your significant other and head Uptown for a fun night at Nuvole Rooftop Twenty Two, where craft cocktails, small plates and great people always make it a special experience to remember!

Donna S. of Fort Collins, Colorado, might also be going out to have a great time since she has $75 on hand after winning the prize drawing on August 7! That’s a fun surprise to see in your email. Perhaps you’ll head to Trader Joe’s to buy everything you need to host a dinner party for your favorite people. That’s one way you could certainly enjoy your winnings!

Sharon L. has a big reason to celebrate since she won the $1,000 Cash Prize drawing on August 14! There’s nothing like a cool grand to bring some relief to the sweltering summer heat and add some moola to your bank account! Perhaps you’ll head to the air conditioned mall to buy some special things, like new clothes, and then take your family out for a celebratory dinner and movie night. You might even treat them to their favorite ice cream afterwards to round out your fun outing together in keeping with your cool theme!

Kendra W. in Fort Worth, Texas, also has a reason to celebrate since winning the $100 Cash Prize on August 17! That could mean a trip over to Vine Crafters Winery & Grill to enjoy a wonderful evening with friends, tasting the wine selection, eating some great food, and listening to area talent since they also feature live music! Pro tip: we hear the pizza is off the hook delish! You can also go when they harvest the grapes to participate in that stomping experience first-hand! That sounds like a unique experience you may not want to miss!

Douglas S. from West Des Moines, Iowa, joined our list of Weekly Winners this month after he won the $50 Cash Prize on August 29! Maybe you’ll head to Flying Mango, grab one of the outdoor tables and enjoy a tasty Caribbean, BBQ or Cajun style dish while you check out the band that’s playing on the deck! You might even throw an extra tip in the jar on the stage if they play a song you really like! That’s a nice way to show your appreciation!
