Today's sweepstakes might make you think about some options, as they do to me. As you well know, whenever you enter, there is always the chance that you could win. Hence, this makes me think about what it would take to claim your prize.
For instance, today's first sweeps has a grand prize that is just awesome! Yet, it could take a bit of finesse to work out the win. For me, personally, I think about if I could afford to pay the taxes, and any other applicable expenses, on any given prize. For this one in particular, I think I could. However, even so, I still have to think about what it would take to do it.
I have a jon boat that I intend to sell some time soon. This would probably cover taxes and expenses incurred for this particular win. It would be, for me, justifiable to use such funds for something like this. Yet, that won't always be the case.
Would I "float" money from what I have saved to cover the roof on the house that I recently bought? I really doubt that this would be prudent. Would I want to use any savings to cover such expenses anyway? This I do not know for certain, but I really do not think this is a good idea for me. Hence, my entry into sweeps for things like this is often dependent upon the current circumstance.
Cash is always a no-brainer. As I see it, this type of win covers its own taxes and expenses. So, for sweeps like the second one here today, there is no question that I'd enter in any circumstance.
The final sweeps today offers a choice. Do you want to win the new home being offered, or would you prefer to accept cash in lieu? I'd love to win this home, no question there. However, the logistics of what it would take to get into it, make it nearly an impossible task for someone such as myself. Luckily, this sweeps offers a cash option, that would be perfectly acceptable. This option would give me enough to pay the taxes, and I could still walk away with a bundle, and a new Mercedes to boot!
Wow. It's all just so much to think about! Making the right choices in how to enter, can help to avoid any disappointment that could come from losing out on a big win. It's all about the strategy of playing the game! Play it the way it works for you!
