Did you see TLC's “High Stakes Sweepers”?\u00a0 Overall, the profiles sweepers arent as wacky as I had expected, though I'd say they were more “extreme” than I am.\u00a0 One thing I noticed in most of the profiles is that sweepstakes enthusiasts get their famlies involved in the hobby.\u00a0 While the initial reaction may be sceptical or unsupportive, once those wins start rolling in, the family quickly develops an appreciation for sweepstakes.<\/p>\n
Two of the individuals profiled on “High Stakes Sweepers” were shown buying products that featured sweepstakes.\u00a0 One of them did mention that you always need to read the Rules and can enter for free by writing away for free entries.\u00a0 While I definitely stand behind supporting the sponsors by buying their products, I do think that the show focused on purchasing the products because it is more dramatic to rip open a cereal box than to request a code.<\/p>\n
One of the sweepers on High Stakes Sweepers expressed a preference for mail in entry sweepstakes rather than online<\/a> entry sweepstakes.\u00a0 However, all the High Stakes Sweepers did rely heavily on the internet.\u00a0 Since everyone profiled spent hours a day entering sweepstakes,<\/a> I am surprised that none of them mentioned sites like SweepsAdvantage.com that are fantastic time savers.\u00a0 It makes me wonder if these people don't know about our site and find sweepstakes through search<\/a> engines, or if they simply didn't mention that a site that gathers multiple sweepstakes for you is a huge asset.<\/p>\n I did find last Sunday's episode of High Stakes Sweepers to be interesting viewing, and will put in on next Sunday night while I'm entering my own sweepstakes.<\/a><\/p>
