Caribbean cruises, red sports cars, diamond rings, $1,000,000 checks -- for years companies have used sweepstakes and similar promotions to advertise and draw customers to their products. Sweepstakes that are well planned enhance good will and can generate brand awareness and sales.

For example sweepstakes are governed by a collection of sometimes inconsistent laws.
