Mail in Sweeps - Do you do them?

Now with mail being 0.74 cents (I remember when it was only 34 cents!) - it doesn't seem that economical to enter sweepstakes by mail (or at least not a lot)! What are your views on it?
 
I still do. I won twice. Once a wonderful Superbowl Trip (more than pays for the postage I am using). Once for a trip and $10,000. Got all the paperwork turned in and was announced the winner. The Theater sponsoring the sweep called and asked me when I stopped by their theater and I told them the truth - I entered via amoe sweepstakes. They immediately said I cheated and took away the prize. :( bummer.

Those are great prizes! I'm sorry about the one that was taken away. Totally not fair if that wasn't stated in the rules.
 
I've never won any, but I do occasionally enter. I only enter prizes I really want. These are usually very large like a car or cash. As I go through entries, I save them to my Mail In category folder. When I have time, I will go into that folder and fill out a bunch of them all at once. It is an extra step, but when the company requires a purchase or mail in, and its a one time entry, I feel like I have as good a chance as any to win. :)
