TLC kicks off the Season 5 premiere of Long Island Medium with another Long Island Medium Tweet to Win sweepstakes. The live event begins Sunday, March 9 at 8pmET where Theresa Caputo will randomly select winners during live segments of the premiere episode. Winners will be announced live during the show and will win an all-expenses paid trip for two to meet Theresa in addition to a private reading. The value of the trip is listed as $3,500 and includes a three day/two-night stay in New York, as well as $500 spending cash.
According to the official rules, you must be 21 years of age or older to enter. Because the show starts at 8pm ET and is live, entrants residing in Mountain and Pacific time zones will not be able to see Theresa making the live announcements but are obviously eligible to enter during the Sweepstakes Period of 8pm ET until 11pm ET on March 9, 2014. Regardless of your time zone all winners will be notified through Twitter immediately. If you are one of the lucky winners, you will be required to provide written consent to be filmed during your private reading and most likely will appear on a future show.
Last year’s stats for the Tweet to Win sweepstakes were reported as generating more than 1 million Tweets throughout the day. The network estimated that upwards of 165,000 fans of Theresa tweeted while watching the show — so your chances of winning aren’t that bad when you think about it. The #LongIslandMedium hashtag, which was a requirement for entry, was used more than 880,000 times — so what that means is Tweet often! There are no limitations on how many Tweets you send during the time period. It was unclear what tweets actually won last year’s contest, as numerous entrants tweeted multiple times. Here’s what a few of last year’s winners tweeted after they won?
“I’m still in disbelief … I can’t believe it! … I’m so happy,” tweeted one of the winners — @Emma25KY — who said she was trying to win a reading for her husband and tweeted about 52 times. @AVirtuousWoman1 tweeted “I won!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! … Thank you. Forever grateful.”
“OMG!!! Screaming in the living room!!!! Woo hoooo!!!! I can’t believe this! Thank you @Theresacaputo and @TLC! #LongIslandMedium,” tweeted @alimichelle76. “When I wake up tomorrow someone will have to remind me that it wasn’t a dream. ”
To enter the 2014 Long Island Medium Tweet to Win Sweepstakes you need to do the following. For complete and official rules on entering the Long Island Medium Tweet to Win Sweepstakes you can visit their website, but the gist of the sweepstakes entails the following:
1. Before or during the Sweepstakes Period (8pm ET to 11pm ET), you need to sign into your Twitter account. If you aren’t familiar with Twitter or need to establish an account, it costs nothing so you become a member of Twitter.com and create a Twitter account. Twitter actually offers some basic tutorials on how to tweet, as well. It’s not overly complicated.
2. If you don’t already, you must “follow” @TLC on Twitter.
3. During the Sweepstakes Period, Theresa Caputo will request followers to tweet about the season premiere of Long Island Medium. In your tweet you must include the hashtag #LongIslandMedium.
Good luck!!!

hi Theresa this is Evelyn I see your show and I love you Show special when you was reading your father this is my first time tweeting so I hope you pick me love to hear from my mother passed 12 years ago and my father toand my baby brother passed away a year and half ago so I hope you pick me god bless you and yours from Evelyn
I love you so much and watch you all the time even the reruns. I am 71 years old and last month I almost died and was put in the Hospital for 10 days. I am doing better but have not returned to work. I would die for a reading because I lost my mother who lived with me and I feel I could have or should have done more. There is not a day that goes by that I do not cry for her and I am not sure how my life went on without her.
I truly believe in your gift Teresa and feel you have helped so many people to cope with their losses. I truly love you, Susan, Spring, Texas
Can’t figure out the Twitter thing but would love to have a reading with you. Feel the spirit of loved ones with me.
Hi I’ve lost so many close relatives in the past ten years and I miss them so much. I want to know they r together and happy. I still cry so often and at times I feel them, but not with me. I stat depressed inside and can’t seem to take care of myself. Please help.
I am a 74 year old married woman, whose wonderful husband is 32 years younger than I! We’ve been together for 13 years, and this May will have been married 9 years. Two of my children are older than Tom, and my in-laws are about 5 years younger than I. I am so lucky! I’ve been watching Theresa since she first came on TLC. What a wonderful, giving woman with a great personality and spunk! Continued success and good health.
Would Love You meet you Theresa, #longislandmedium , Lost my father last fall.
Theresa,love the show,watch you all the time you are the funniest babe on t.v. hope you have a great year co xoxox. Thank you Mikeswope Jacksonville fl
I am 70 years young and for many years I have regrets that I was not with my mom nor my dad when they passed. I was like a reject from my family and they did not tell me my mom passed. My sister-in-law from NC called me and broke the news. Mom died of cancer and I did not get to tell her I loved her with all my heart. My life is so full of regret.
Hi Teresa have watched you faithfully! I need a reading!
