    Thanks, Person from Insider!

  • Kristen

    Paul, do you happen to know what Oprah's word of the day is for June 22?

  • paul

    Oprah doesn't come on until 9am (noon eastern) western here

  • paul

    The word of the day for June 22nd, Monday is “clothes”. Good luck1

  • Kristen

    Thanks, Paul!

  • Elizabeth

    The word of the day is clothes

  • twin

    Today's word is health. AND, you cannot go back and add words later. It doesn't work. Her word of the day is also on Oprah's website everyday.

  • shaunice pettus

    word of the day is health….i dont think that this sweepstakes is fair because where i live in orange park florida the show comes on at 4 and by time i go on the website to enter the word of the day somebody else has already won. i just wish the show come on the same time but would be impossible because of the different time zones.

  • paul

    I think Oprah new this and to win all you have to do is put in the word at any time. Any who, check this out. According to Harpo Board (site moderator):

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    Please go to the homepage on Oprah.com, click on today’s show and you’ll find the word of the day within the links on that page.

    Keep watching, keep entering and have a spectacular summer!

  • Stephanie Tillman

    Today is my first day at this, so good luck to everyone. Word of the day. Health

  • Debbie

    Oprah “word of the Day” is Home for 6/24/09

  • paul

    Thank you, Debbie!

  • paul

    The word for June 25th, thursday is “PROTECT”.

  • Mary

    I entered the word “protect” today on Oprahs word for the day contest. It said I was incorrect!
    Is it case sensitive?
    Mary

  • paul

    Just went and checked. that's the word and it's not case sensitive. Did you spell check? just kidding!

  • GRACE KELLY

    I WISH YOU WOULD MAKE THE TIME ENTERING THE WORD OF THE DAY IN THE COMPUTER A LITTLE LONGER TO KEY IN.
    I HAVE MY COMPUTER IN THE BACK BEDROOM AND MY T V IS IN THE LIVING ROOM. I AM SET TO GO AS I RUN TO KEY IN THE WORD OF THE DAY.
    THE PERSON WITH A LAP TOP COMPUTER HAS A BETTER CHANGE FOR TIME DON'T YOU THINK?

  • Dana

    Thanks for posting the Oprah Word for the Day each day. My DVR locked up yesterday and I wouldn't have known the word for the day without your help. I didn't win, but it is fun trying.

  • Facebook User

    I posted it for today, June 26th. :)

  • paul

    Thanks, Facebook User!

  • paul

    Grace, I don't think time has anything to do with winning. With multiple time zones, the only way it would be fair would be the winners be picked from the entrants that have registered.

    The secret word of the day for june 22nd,2009 is SECRET.

  • NGOZI OVILI-OSSAI

    I am sorry, I made a mistake with the date. Today is 29th, not 22nd as I stated ealier. The secret word is correct, the date is wrong, and I wanted to correct it. Remember is past 2am, and I am feeling sleepy, but I wanted to watch Oprah show that came up at 1am, with Pastor Haggard. I sincerely hope I will still be considered.
    Thanks,
    NGOZI.

  • paul

  • paul

    JoAnn- As a winner can you tell us what time of the day you posted the word and how and when did they contact you? Please?

  • JoAnn

    Paul
    Thanks for the congrats on my win. I just saw the comments and thought you might want to know.

    I think it was after midnight CDT. I was tired and didn't even see that I had won. I just clicked out of the site before I saw any confirmation. (I guess after 20 days, I expected to see the “Sorry” page!)

    So when I checked my SPAM e-mails a couple of days later I saw an “You Won” e-mail from Oprah. I didn't believe it so I called the 800 number and the contest promotions rep and I danced around who could/would give out the correct info to confirm the win. (I'm no dummy, I know about those crafty Kenyans!)

    They sent the Target Giftcard USPS Priority within 4 days. I been so busy, I haven't even spent it yet.

    You receive a packet with your winner releases inside and a return PPD envelope. .

    Actually the e-mail says you don't have to call, but I really didn't believe it was real. You can but don't have to send a statement and photo for the Oprah Summer Giveaway website. It all went very smoothly

    Now I wait until I get the “Sorry” page BEFORE I close it! LOL

    Good Luck to everyone. I was a non-believer, now I BELIEVE!!

    JoAnn

  • JoAnn

    Paul FYI: This is the official e-mail I received about my win. Don't be fooled by imitation Oprahs!

    Subj: Congratulations! You’re a Winner of The Oprah Show Summer Giveaway! (subject to verification)

    We’re SO excited to be giving away a summer full of prizes.
