I miss entering sweepstakes
One of my hobbies used to be professional sweepstaking. Yeah, that’s really a hobby. You just find sweepstakes with prizes you’re interested in and enter. Some sweepstakers will enter for any and every prize they find. Other people only enter for things they really want. That was my approach.
I entered mostly for electronics, trips and of course money. I stopped entering because of postage and the internet. Sweepstakes where you could only enter by mail got expensive. Even if you only enter 5 per week, you usually enter multiple times and the postage really adds up.
I stopped entering on the internet because even casual sweepers entered so you were up against some stiff odds. Some contests get over 100,000 entries for even the simplest of prizes.
I don’t miss entering or paying for postage, but I sure miss winning.
