" hi,

I try to enter free sweepstakes online. There is a free program called Roboform that stores your name, address, etc. only on your computer and you just have to push the button and it fills out every sweepstake for for you. You never know, with all the time we have on our hand, we might win.

Also, publisher's clearinghouse has a free search engine that allows you to win for just searching on the internet.
