Welcome To Sweepstakes News…

Our mission here at Sweepstakes News is to become the largest and most respected reporting service for the sweepstakes industry. During the next few months, our site will continue to expand with the goal of providing you, the sweepstakes aficionado, with a place to call home.

Since we are a subscription only site, we promise to update our news, listings and columns every week, all while archiving the previous week's news for those that may have missed it. Because we know content is so important, the site will not be cluttered with banner ads, save for one national sponsor that we hope will rotate every month. And we will not sell your name to other sites, ever. The only e-mails you will ever get will be from us asking you for feedback and informing you when your subscription has lapsed.

Whether you subscribe now or later, please feel free to enter our own sweeps that we will run on an ongoing basis throughout the next year. Every 45 days, we will give away a digital camera (see sweeps registration for details) to a randomly selected individual simply for coming into the front door of our site. And as all legit sweepstakes should state, no purchase is necessary!

In providing you with the best content available anywhere regarding sweepstakes, our yearly subscription fee of $24.95 also makes an excellent gift! In fact, for the first 90 days, anyone who purchases a subscription either for them, or as a gift, gets 2 extra months! That's 14 months of the weekly updated Sweepstakes News for only $24.95.

In fact, we'll sweetin' the pot even further! The first 1000 subscribers to Sweepstakes News will receive, via U.S. Mail, a copy of the book, The History of Sweepstakes, by Lawrence Curtin and Karen Bernardo. This book retails for $9.95!

Every week, Sweepstakes News promises to deliver over 100 current listings of national sweepstakes that you can enter that day. We'll update that list every week and most importantly, give you as all the alternate entry information available. Plus, each week we'll feature at least two major sweepstakes as complete editorial pieces, interviewing people involved, discussing the product they are selling and ultimately listing who won. In addition to that, we'll bring you updated industry news so you can keep track of sweepstakes laws, upcoming promotions, people on the move, and even feedback from our readers.

Sweepstakes is one of the most recognized words in the English language today. Well over 50 million people played sweepstakes in 1999 and nearly 10 million enter often. We believe these huge numbers of players deserve the best, most informative news site available - and we believe we have that in Sweepstakes News.
