random question #1
why don’t you have to fill out a survey at a restaurant or a market or buy any food or groceries to enter a sweepstakes? shouldn’t you have to buy something to win something from that store?

Re: random question #1
companies hosting the sweepstakes are probably mostly interested in getting your personal info, so they can sell that for profit instead of whatever they'd get from a % of the cost of some apples

Re: random question #1
The whole "no purchase necessary" thing is based on law in the US. Sweepstakes-style contests are an illegal lottery if they require something to be purchased in order to be entered to win, as the only lotteries legally allowed are government-run.

that’s probably true for a lot of companies, but who would want some random stranger’s personal information besides the CIA and people trying to steal your money?

Re: random question #1
Even McDonalds Monopoly is a sweepstakes, you don't need to buy their merchandise to get cards, you can literally send a letter to mickey d's asking for free cards and they will send some back to you.
