Sweepstakes enthusiasts who are residents of Florida may notice that their state is sometimes excluded from sweepstakes participation. Why is that? The short answer is that there are regulations in that state that make it unwieldy for sponsors to run a sweepstakes in that state. Rather than comply with state requirements, sponsors sometimes decide to just opt out of offering the sweepstakes. I know, bummer, Florida residents. The good news is that there are plenty of opportunities for the rest of us to come see you.
Of all the trip sweepstakes, Florida is one of the most popular destinations. One reason is, of course, DisneyWorld. Disney itself runs sweepstakes that include trips, usually for four, to the popular vacation destination. Disney also runs a cruise line out of Florida, and there are trips for that too. Since trips to DisneyWorld appeal to many people, you will also see this listed as a prize in sweepstakes hosted by other sponsors.
However, there is more to Florida than just DisneyWorld and at any given time, you can probably find a sweepstakes wanting to send you to Miami, Universal Studios, Fort Lauderdale, Daytona, Pensacola, the Everglades, the Florida Keys or other destinations within that state. Listings are added all the time, so if you are hoping to travel to Florida, there are plenty of sweepstakes that will get you there.
For a sweepstakes in Florida that is centered around an event, like a music festival in Miami, check the rules if you are already a Florida resident. You can still try for the event prize, but there may be alternate sweepstakes rules for your travel arrangements.
