    Dear Cameron, what I am doing wrong ? Second day I am not able to use winnings program ?

  91. Hey Natalya!

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with the contest! I’ll reiterate the entry process here and let me know what’s not working for you:
    1) Ensure you’re signed up for our email list (do you receive promotional emails from BigYellowBag? Have you checked your spam folder?)
    2) When you receive the daily contest emails, click the “Enter to Win” button which will take you to a blog.bigyellowbag.com link where you can enter the contest for your local supplier!
    3) Complete the form at that page and you’ll be entered to win. The “bonus” entries (i.e. visit facebook, instagram, our website etc.) are only available on DAY 1. Once those entries are complete, they can’t be completed again on the following days. Each day you come back to the contest page and sign in, you’re automatically entered for that’s day’s draw.

    Hope this clears things up Natalya and let me know if you have any further questions or concerns!

  92. I never win anything but I will be growing a garden to get my own vegetables. I live in Medicine Hat Ab, and I am 79 yrs old. I already have zukinni growing in pots in the house,Butternut Squash, Acorn Squash, Spagetti Squash too, Cucumbers and few other things. Hope we get a early garden so I can plant it outside. Temperture is weird, one day it snows and the next day it rains. Wish everyone “Happy Gardening” Hope I win,

  114. Adele Zuerner says:

    Cameron, Is this contest only for Canada and the NY area? Since signing up for the emails I have not yet received a daily email entry for the sweepstakes nor have any folks won from the southeast. It would almost be statistically impossible for someone from the southeast not to win. Just sorry that the entry process is so troublesome. Can you check to see what you can find out? Love your product and want to be in the hat to win but I don’t think I have since the beginning of this thing.

  115. Hey Adele!

    I totally understand where you are coming from. We do have winners from all over North America, Arizona, Texas, Utah, as well as NY and Canada. NY and Canada have the most entries, therefore increasing their odds of winning. Unfortunately our partner in the south Super-Sod, opted out of participating in the contest his year. We truly thank you for your support and business, and hopefully it will be open to your area in the future.

    Thanks again for your comment and happy gardening!

  116. Sharon Gullikson says:

    How do I enter????? I click on the entry button, and the blog comes up (this screen). Do I leave a comment here to enter? I looked at your rules page and it says I click on the entry button. It is so frustrating when companies are not clear about how to enter. Thanks.

  117. Hey Sharon!

    Thanks so much for your comment. You will find details about how to enter the contest under the “How to Enter Our Spring Sweepstakes” heading in the blog above.

  118. Adele Zuerner says:

    Thank you for your quick response Cameron. Perhaps it should be posted on the banner page that Super Sod South customers are excluded from this promotion so our time is not used in vain. Big Yellow bag and Super Sod South do yourselves no favors by not being upfront on this promotion. At this point that horse is out of the barn door and good luck.

  119. Heather says:

    Another day, and
    Still no news of my big dirt
    Hope begins to wane

  120. Hey Adele! We will absolutely try and do better with communicating this. Thanks again for your comment, and my sincere apologies for your disappointment Adele. Hopefully we can get your local BigYellowBag supplier on board with the contest next year.

    All the best and happy gardening!

  121. Maybe today is your lucky day Heather! Thanks for your comment and happy gardening 🙂

  122. I’ve registered and entered each day. When I open the email it shows I have ‘0’ entries. We’ve ordered from you guys several times. Today I tried to enter and it wouldn’t let me. What’s up.???

  123. Hey Eugene!

    Thanks for your comment, and sorry to hear you’re having difficulties with the contest! I’m not sure what’s going wrong with your entries.

Send those to enewsletter@bigyellowbag.com and hopefully we can help you get entered today!

    All the best and talk soon!

  124. Heather says:

    You know what to do

  125. Laura Merck says:

    Hope this helps and thanks for your comment Cindy.

    All the best and happy gardening!

  132. KEVIN BELL says:

    I know this is a long shot. I won a bag last year, but due to circumstances I was unable to claim, any way still to get it this year. Thanks

  133. Hey Kevin!

    Reach out to your local BigYellowBag supplier to inquire about that. They will have the note on file about your free bag, and you can discuss with them what your options are 🙂

    All the best and happy gardening!

  134. Ron says:

    I’m happy to have this contest going on. Will there be one for 2024 as well? Also, when the product is delivered, is there a cover on the product or is it open to the elements? I’m looking to have some delivered but not using it for several days/weeks. I may or may not be home when it is delivered. I don’t want it to get wet before using it.

    Thanks!

  135. Hey Ron!! We will absolutely be hosting another Countdown to Spring sweepstakes in 2024. As for your inquiry regarding the cover, that is the beauty of the BigYellowBag! It keeps the weather out, and your premium black garden soil in, so it will be ready to work with whenever you are! Many of our customers order their bags early in the season (we always have early season delivery discounts too) and keep their bag on their driveway until Spring when they’re ready to spread it. Hope this helps Ron, and good luck with this year’s sweepstakes!

    All the best and happy gardening!
