In Canada at least, sweepstakes can't require a purchase to enter. So I have at times used the no purchase option to enter things.
The last time I did this was with McDonalds, where I spent $80 on stamps to win about $40 in gift cards and a few muffins/fries.
- shannifin 5y agoThis is true in the USA too, although you'll often have to search through the tiny legal text to find how to enter without purchase.
- iamthepieman 5y agoWhile in college, a friend used my home address in Vermont during summer break as the return address for these no purchase sweepstakes entries. Vermont was one of the few (maybe only) states where it was illegal to require return postage so his postage costs were half of what they would have been somewhere else. I opened all the envelopes from McDonald's and brought the scratch offs back to him when school started in the fall. He got a few thousand dollars worth of stuff and I got a really nice new stereo out of it just for opening some envelopes.
