Lots of sweepstakes sponsors give away music downloads as prizes. This works out great for my household. We're a fairly large family with different musical tastes and one shared iTunes account. The combined playlist includes early blues tunes, classic rock, show tunes, contemporary stuff, show tunes, 80's one hit wonders, classical music, rap, big band and probably a few more things I don't even know about. There is always someone waiting to download a new tune, so music wins are a big hit at home.
If you're also a fan of downloading music, you know that the biggest site for this service is iTunes. They're not the only game in town, but they are the biggest. At any time, you can search the database at SweepsAdvantage and SweepstakesPlus to see how many different sponsors are giving away iTunes downloads. On the day I ran the most recent search, there were 33. Yeah, lots of chances to win!
Lots of the blog sites have giveaways where the iTunes card is the only prize up for grabs. Card amounts vary, but $10, $15, $25, $50 and $100 are the most common. Not everyone has the patience to enter blog sweeps, so your odds of winning are better than they are with traditional sweepstakes.
Some of the bigger sponsors run sweepstakes with different prize levels. For example, Hot Tamales/Mike and Ike's “Sweets and Beats” sweepstakes has a top prize of a 46″ Sharp Aquos Quattron LCD TV and Sharp Aquos Blu-Ray Player, ARV ,829.98. Only one person wins the grand prize, but there are 29,430 opportunities to win a iTunes gift code. My family might enter wih the music download prize in mind, but we'd sure love to with that sweepstakes grand prize TV too!
