There actually is a law that forces companies that have drawings or sweepstakes to have an alternative method for entering the drawing. wither it is mailing a post card or letter or something.
Did you see the movie Real Genius with Val Kilmer? One of the main people, Lazlo I think, sent in to all these drawings that had no purchase necessary and won a ton of stuff for free including a motor home. Granted, he still had to pay taxes on it all, but it was still a nice set of prizes he won. Worth watching if you have never seen it.
