In defense of copying a UPC- I'm on a very limited income- IF I could afford to buy every UPC product for a sweepstakes- I would! I don't think it is so "Wrong" as someone said to copy when they charge such prices for say Olay wrinkle serum, or something else I cannot afford. They should allow free entry- and usually do, for most sweepstakes.

It's a game for some of us, not to be taken so seriously that we have to discriminate because of prices and income. Keep sweeping!

You don't have to buy a product for the UPC number required to enter. More times than not, people will post UPC numbers in the comments of the posted sweepstakes. Otherwise, you can simply copy it down from the outside of the product.
On sweepstakes that require "unique codes" that are usually within the product, you are given a mail-in option for free entry.
