WHEN THEY SEND YOU THE SWEEPSTAKES THING IN THE MAIL THAT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE YOU'VE WON, IT SAYS IN SMALLER LETTERS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE!

FRAUD!

6. Well, first of all...

1. It doesn't matter if you return the mailing. Buy or don't buy, your name's in the running. If you received a mailer, your name is in. Your name stays on a list for like, 8 years if you buy something. That's why some folks get the mailer, and some don't. Matter of fact, "rumor" has it that the contest is decided before anyone mails anything back.

2. EVERY year somebody gets the envelope that says "YOU MIGHT BE A WINNER!!!!! if you send back the winning number, etc, etc, etc" and trucks down to Tampa to claim their prize. They once paid to send a guy BACK to Pennsylvania who was found wandering around town looking for the building to claim his millions. Very sad.

3. They employ some of the biggest f*ing idiots in the world to process the return orders. If THAT doesn't tell you that your order doesn't determine your winner status, nothing will.

That oughta start you off.

7. Did you ever see that HBO commercial

that was a spoof on the Publisher's Clearing House commercials? This guy knocks on a door and when the lady answers, she sees this guy with a microphone and all these cameras and balloons. He says "Mrs. So and So, You are a WINNER!" So she starts screaming and the whole family comes to the door and they are all excited. And the guy then tells her she is a winner because she subscribes to HBO, the channel that airs all these award winning movies. LOL
