rules question When reading the official rules of some sweepstakes, there often is a mail-in option available. Many times a “3 x 5 postcard” is mentioned. However, the U.S. Postal Service will not accept a post card smaller than 3 1/2 x 5. This is obviously a case of badly written rules. How should a prospective entrant handle this dilemma? Sounds like someone may have gotten a bit confused while "picking up" rules from a few different sweepstakes. I suspect that they meant to say submit your information on a 3"x5"card (which then would be placed in an envelope and mailed), or sumit your information on a Post card (which would then be mailed without an being placed into an envelope). If time allows,you can contact the judging agency and ask them for guidance. If time is tight, I doubt that any of the legitimate judging agencies would disqualify you for mailing the 3"x5" card in an envelope, as it was their mistake in the first place, and the mail-in option is typically a legal requirement. |
