If I’m reading this correctly, this is two separate sweeps–one to win a $10,000 grand prize and one to win one of 900 $25 weekly prizes. Does this look right?
I have the other sweepstakes in another post. It is completely separate and is for the $10,000 http://sweetiessweeps.com/2012/01/visa-prepaid-2012-tax-sweepstakes.html
