But most of the time I don't bother because I tend not to win any prizes and if I do, I get disqualified for some technicality. Like the time I won a prize at a bridal shower and was disqualified because I was friends with the sister of the bride's maid. When my son was a teenager still at home, he too use to call into the radio stations and won a few prizes. With the calls being long distance though, I'm not sure it was much in the way of a good trade off.
