I had always sent in my AFP, PCH, etc. sweepstakes, hoping to be just like the Knutzens (typically family that seems to always win the big pot). I had never sent my entry with a subscription sticker until last year, when I wanted Rolling Stone mag. Well, up until last year, I received no word from the sweeps. Last year (when I subscribed), I hit the jackpot....I was considered a "1st level winner" or some such garbage if I sent in a few bucks for processing my 2nd entry....Well, as you can guess, that was the end of my sweepstakes days.....It's gotta be a joke. Thats why I play...........Lotto----It's worth a million. Rob Cook UUCP: {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!uiucuxc!rcook 'Life is just a cocktail party on the street' -Mick Jagger-
