owilkins, Thanks, but it makes me nervous to see the discrepancy in the rules, so I will content myself with a weekly entry. The first big sweeps I ever won had mis-edited language in the Rules (left over from a previous sweeps) while the entry form was correct, so that's the way I generally skew my decisions.
Hey, Chuck! I'll send you a good luck toast the next time I have a Mike's Hard Lemonade.
I can supply codes for people for Mike's sweeps even though I don't have the fun of entering them. I see more and more states excluded from some alcohol-sponsored sweeps. I wonder if the well-meaning people who forced this exception into California law via a state propostition are at work in other states now.
