Do you know anyone who has ever won the $500 or $1000 gift certificate from the customer service survey that retailers are putting on receipts these days?

No. It’s a pretty broad pool.

Still you would have a better chance than most. Besides, I think the majority of people ignore them anyway. Give it a shot when/if you ever have some down time.

I always have taken great pride in maintaining an e-mail addres that has absolutely no spam because I do not shop online. I get only those emails from the people and organizations that I want them from. FOr YEARS I have had a relatively clean inbox.

I got this hairbrained idea a few weeks ago that I would try this new sweeps trend, to enter sweepstakes for prizes…

all I got is an inbox FILLED with trash from everyone and anything.

I’m sad now because I loved my clean inbox and I won absolutely nothing!

I answer them whenever I have time and I’ve never won anything. I don’t know what the odds are but I figure it’s worth a shot during an afternoon lull.
