Alright, folks, let’s talk about this “UFC Amsterdam Sweepstakes 2024” thing. I’m a big UFC fan, and when I saw this, I was like, “Sign me up!” I mean, who wouldn’t want a free trip to Vegas, especially for a UFC event, right?
So, I started digging into it. It’s being run by New Amsterdam, which is some vodka company. I guess they’re trying to get more people to buy their booze or something by teaming up with UFC. Smart move, I gotta say.
First, I went to the official website. It had all the basic info – the start date, which is June 15th, and the end date, which is August 31st. That gives you plenty of time to enter. And get this, you can enter once a week! The more entries, the better your chances, you know?
The Grand Prize
- A trip for two to Las Vegas.
- Two nights in a hotel.
- Tickets to a UFC event.
- Other cool stuff.
I read through the rules. You gotta be 21 or older, which makes sense since it’s a vodka company running it. And you have to be a legal resident of the US. There’s a whole bunch of other legal stuff, but that’s the gist of it.
I entered the sweepstakes right away, obviously. It was pretty simple – just had to fill in my name, email address, and some other basic info. Then I just had to confirm my email and I was in. I’ve been entering every week since then, crossing my fingers every time.
I even started following New Amsterdam and UFC on social media. They sometimes post updates about the sweepstakes, and other times they just post cool UFC content. It’s a win-win, really. I also kept an eye on the UFC website and the New Amsterdam website just in case they announced anything new.
Now, I haven’t won yet, but I’m not giving up hope. A free trip to Vegas to see a UFC event? That’s a dream come true! Even if I don’t win the grand prize, they’re also giving away $250 UFC store gift cards. That’s not too shabby either. I could finally get that official UFC hoodie I’ve been eyeing.
So, yeah, that’s my story about the UFC Amsterdam Sweepstakes. It’s a pretty cool opportunity, and I’m glad I found out about it. If you’re a UFC fan, you should definitely check it out. Who knows, maybe one of us will get lucky!
The waiting game is tough. Every week, I’m checking my email like a hawk, hoping to see that “Congratulations, you’ve won!” message. It hasn’t happened yet, but I’m keeping the faith. I’ve even started planning my hypothetical Vegas trip. I mean, you gotta stay positive, right? Visualizing myself at the event, feeling the energy, hearing the roar of the crowd… it’s all part of the fun.
I’ve told all my UFC buddies about the sweepstakes, too. A few of them have entered as well, so now we’re all in this together, hoping one of us gets to experience the thrill of a live UFC event in Vegas. We’ve even joked about who would take who if they won – it’s all in good fun, of course.
Well, the end of August is fast approaching. I have kept up with my weekly entries, and also kept checking for updates and announcements. I’m still hoping I’ll be the lucky one, but even if I don’t win, it’s been a fun ride. And hey, there’s always next year, right?
The last day to enter the UFC Amsterdam Sweepstakes finally arrived and I made sure to get my final entry in. A few days after the end date, I got an email…but it wasn’t the winner’s notification. New Amsterdam announced they were extending the sweepstakes for another month due to popular demand. I was a little bummed but also excited for another chance to win.
With the extension, I continued entering weekly, maybe this time I’d get lucky. I also noticed they added more prizes, like signed UFC merchandise, which was pretty cool. I kept visualizing myself in Vegas, but alas, the second end date came and went, and still no luck. A few weeks later, the winners were announced on New Amsterdam’s website. I wasn’t one of them, but a guy from my state won a gift card, so that was cool to see.
Even though I didn’t win anything this time, it was still a fun experience. I discovered some cool UFC content through their social media, and it gave me and my friends something to talk about for a few months. Plus, now I know to keep an eye out for these kinds of sweepstakes in the future. You never know when your lucky day might come!
