One subtlety is that you apparently get ten sweepstakes "entries" per dollar you donate, whereas I believe the free-of-charge entry method you linked to only gets you one entry. So your chances of winning would start out at 1% of those of a $10 donor. Here in this thread we saw someone donate $1,000, so that person already has 10,000× the chance of winning of each person who uses the free sweepstakes entry method. :-)

  Sorry, didn't include the whole text but you can get 10,000 entries for free too: TO ENTER WITHOUT DONATING: To enter the Sweepstakes for free without donating to the Sponsor's campaign, visit the Sweepstakes Website and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the simple online entry form ("Form").

    Oh, interesting! Well, that definitely makes free entrants a lot more competitive than they would otherwise be.

I don’t feel publicizing this part is beneficial. Especially on this site, where many people have both disposable income and scripting abilities.

That's weird. Does entering without donation option is required for tax reasons or something?

  It's so that it's not classified as gambling.
