Here's
the top line on Sweepstakes...
Why
run one?
Grab attention, "stand out" from competitors/clutter,
amplify your product's personality, highlight a product
launch, build a database. Cost effective and easy
to implement.

Defined ...
Customers register in some form or fashion for a chance

are regulated individually by each state's gambling
laws; some industries/products are more heavily regulated.
