Sweepstaking.

When I was on prodigy, a dial-up service pre-internet, there was a group of people that entered sweepstakes in mass quantities. They would buy index cards in bulk, as well as stamps. They would win lawnmowers, grills, bicycles, money, and even vacuums. Vacations, candy, and museum passes. You name it, they would try to win it.

I think these people are the cause of the "one entry per person per day or per household" restriction that so many contests now have.

I am considering becoming a sweepstaker. After a few years, I'd be able to throw the best fucking garage sale ever held in Cook County, IL.
