in order to win a really great prize? It's a decision that sweepers have to make before they have entered very many contests. Today's tip of the day is more like an opportunity for me to tell you a little of my philosophy and how I decide where to draw the line. First of all, I oppose gambling, so I shun anything that seems like a lottery or is sponsored by a casino. If I have to pay to enter, I don't, unless it's an entry that comes with the purchase of something I was going to buy anyway. For that reason, I will not enter sweepstakes that require postage. I also am against alcohol and tobacco, so I will not enter sweepstakes sponsored by those companies. It's actually not so much that I don't want to profit by their ill-gotten gain (because lots of innocuous-looking things are related to things I reject), but I do not want my name or picture to be used in their advertising. I will not lie or stretch the truth to make myself eligible (e.g., rationalize that "I AM a nurse because all moms have to be a nurse" so I can enter a sweepstakes for nurses only), and I will not use an alternate address to gain an entry that I could not get otherwise. I want all my wins to be blessings from God and I would rather not win at all than to win dishonestly.
I don't really get a kick out of most of the games involved in entering sweepstakes, but once I get past all the registering, signing in, requesting a free code, waiting for the code to arrive in my mail, etc., this sweepstakes of the day from Butterfinger will probably be a favorite of mine. Today I even got through the first door and got to pick a 2nd key! I can't wait to try again tomorrow. Now if I had a code from a wrapper, I could try again today, and I do love Butterfingers, but I think I shall just promote the product and talk up the sweeps and try to keep my fingers off the Butterfingers.
