These so-called sweepstakes boxes are also great places for getting your name on some really aggressive timeshare sales list.

First, they send you a certified letter stating you won a prize, but you hafta claim at this timeshare resort persentation. Three hours and four REALLY pushy salesmen later (they firmly believe in NOT taking no for an answer) when you really tell them you're not interested, you find out you win the second prize - a cheap assed trinket that's guaranteed to quit working within 30 days.

Lesson learned.
