Default Contests

Do you enter contests? How do you prefer to enter, online or by mail? Last year and the year before, I entered a lot of contests. They are very hard to win.

No, I don't waste my time on this because I never win. Only once I had won two free books, and it wasn't a contest, just a drawing, so I was not required to do anything, just submit my info.

I think contests are organized by companies only to promote their products. I never participate in them. I wonder if they really award the prizes they promise, to anyone at all

Oh we're on the same boat. I never win anything even at a simple bingo at school I never ever win a single prize. The only contest I entered was the past Paypal wishlist that was a sure money without wasting a lot of time.

I only enter a contest if it's sponsored by a company that I've heard of. Not all of them are rip-offs. Anyway, the best contest to enter are the kinds where you just submit your name and contact information.

Lolz there are lots of contests here that only involves dropping some coupons of some product with your name and address on it. But the sad part of it the contest is being drawn so far from our location and no one ever wins in our city. From what I've heard here entries dropped from here are just being thrown away in the dumpster. What a waste of time.

That's not always true. I do like the fact that the contest, though sponsored by a commercial company, is handled by an independent company to make sure that everything is done fairly.
