Sweepstakes Fine Print
Posted by mrmike on Monday, April 10, 2017 11:32 PM

Does anyone else fail to understand all the legal mouse cr__ in the sweepstakes terms & conditions? I wouldn't mind a shot at winning the kit, FSM already has my email, but what the heck is all the mumbo-jumbo? By the time I read through it at scan speed, I was totally glazed over. Thinking maybe I'll just buy one instead of incurring any long tern obligations!

Yeah, there's always some stipulations in these contests. Ridiculous... I entered yet I'm not holding out with hopes of winning it. So, no great loss or disappointment for me. I never win anything anyway except a $1 on a scratch off lottery ticket. LOL!

I once got a set of ten scratch off tickets as a Secret Santa Christmas present. Won $100 and a free ticket (which won me nothing) from the original 10.

Giving them your email ensures you have limited entries and aren't flooding the sweepstakes with alternate identities. Although, many of us have mulitple email addresses. I know I have my original AOL email address from 1996, my hotmail from 1998, my cable provider from 2008, and my gmail when I got my first smart phone as well as my work one.

Yes, my old AOL email is still active after 21 years.

I won a $1 scratch off once, was way excited to win anything. Walked right back into the deli counter and showed the guy my ticket. He looked at me with a bored face and said "so you want the $1 or you want another ticket?" Stupid me took another ticket and tasted the bitter taste of defeat. Should have just took the $1 and kept the sweet smell of success.
