So Long Sweepstakes...

We Look Back At Years Of Big Prizes and Even Bigger Silver Strike Excitement

sweepstakesAfter more than three and a half years and half a million dollars in prizes, the Silver Strike Sweepstakes era has officially come to a close.

The action started all the way back in May of 2006 with Cedar Rapids native Aaron Burns taking home the first prize, $250 cash. Over the course of time, we saw the sweepstakes award players with Harleys, cars, trucks, trips, electronics, big cash payouts, big cash gift cards, and more.

The last sweepstakes was awarded on Christmas day, and Debbie Cramer out of Maryland will be forever remembered as our final winner as she went home with a $1,000 American Airlines Gift Card.

While we could go on and on celebrating the literally hundreds of winners, we thought we'd look back at some of the finest Sweepstakes moments on the web. Although the prizes are certainly worth celebrating, it's the game and the pure joy our winners displayed when they finally were able to embrace the win that really will live on.

Here are some of our finest Sweepstakes moments over the past three plus years.
