Thanks for the heads up G. I got a call a few years ago from an outlet out here calling for donations for the Solidarity for Police Highway Patrolmen Women. It was a mouthful then still is now.

Funny thing is, l had just been watching Iron Man and recalled Stark asking agent Colson what S.H.I.EL.D stood for, since he was confused by the length of this agency's name. I told this outfit l would get back to them- they never called again.

I used to do this years ago. I, too, had the software that auto-filled your entries and then the sweepstakes got smart about that and made it where you HAD to manually fill in the blanks. I am not a ROBOT.

You're welcome Coin Toss.

You are exactly right. Most of them on the list do just that.

Keep in mind this is only the 50 worst. Every time there is a disaster, hurricane, flood, etc, the scam charities come out of the wood work, trying to take advantage of someone else's tragedy by using others generosity to line their pockets. It's just a sad situation.

grwurston,

Thanks for posting that list.

I saw another one (maybe from www.charitywatch.org) that said the Make A Wish Foundation is real, but a lot of bogus charities try to play on that name and except for Make A Wish Foundation be wary of any other one with Wish in its title.

My biggest prize was a 50inch television, some Sauve shampoo and Skinny Cow snacks, when I first

started sweeping years ago but then I stopped.

The smaller prizes just come in the mail, it was fun, may get back into it again.

A word of warning. A lot of sweepstakes are conducted by charities looking for a donation. Most of them ask for as little as $7 or $10. But once you enter a few, you will be put on a mailing list and will be bombarded with sweepstakes entries. Don't be surprised to get 30 or more a week in your mail box. A lot of them are scams. Look at the official rules to see who is sponsoring the sweepstakes.

Here is a list of the 50 worst charities. What makes them the worst is how little money actually... [ More ]

I've been thinking about using Selenium to automatically play all the games/sweepstakes at pch.com. The funny thing is, PCH is actually looking for a programmer to write/maintain/use Selinium to test their website.

Kind of reminds me of Helen Hadsell's story. I have her book, Contesting: The Name it and Claim it Game

You really should read the article. The first thing the woman recommends is, She creates a new email specifically for sweepstakes.

Spend enough time online, and you'll come across some kind of contest or sweepstakes offering you a chance to win a prize. Most of us brush these off as dangling carrots veiled corporate attempts to collect our data and court free advertising. The odds of actually winning seem miniscule.
