    HGTV High Dollar Sweeps and enter for family members

    The Dream Home ~ Green Home when I make my daily entries I also make separate enters for my 3 adult children that live in 3 other states. What are your comments or does HGTV have a method to know when the entries come from one INTERNET account?

    Thanks

     The rules for this particular sweep don't specifically limit the number of daily entries made by the same internet account (some do, and as has been said numerous times here, "the rules rule").  Some people frown on this type of entering and say it isn't in "the spirit" of the game, but they way I see it, this isn't any different than filling your kids' names out on mail in entries, which I'm sure many people do, too.

    Ken, I personally see nothing wrong with what you are doing.  Now, if you were entering every member in your family/block/5 mile radius, that would be another thing!  And, as i said, I sure didn't see anything in the rules limiting it to one entry per computer or IP address.

    some still do not have computer access ,like my daughter she has a computer but it's here at our home, she can't have it at her place so

    i enter for her when i thinks it might be some thing she would like,( her son-in-law ) lives with her and he hacks into her accounts thats why

    her computer is here until he & her daughter move out.who knows when that will be

    Yep, those rules rule.  See no problem unless expressly prohibited.  Enter on!

    Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
