Couple Wins One Million Dollars from Lifelock's NASCAR Sweepstakes
The idea was that you could pick two drivers when you registered. If those two drivers came in first and second in either order in the LifeLock 400 race on June 14, 2009, you would be in the drawing for a chance to win a trip to a NASCAR race on June 11th.
Richard and Donna Musgrove correctly chose Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin to win the June 14th race, and were the lucky winners of the trip to Chicago to watch the Sprint Cup Series LifeLock.com 400. There was a chance to win another prize, too, although it must have seemed unlikely to the Musgroves that they could be so lucky. If their favorite two drivers placed first and second again, the couple would win a million dollars. But in the meantime, they had a very nice prize under their belt already -- the Chicago trip alone was estimated at a $5,000 value.
According to a NASCAR.com news article, it didn't look like the Musgroves were going to take home the big prize. With only 50 laps to go, Jimmie Johnson looked like he would win the race. And the Chicagoland Speedway was a bit of a bugbear from Mark Martin -- it's the only track in which he had never taken home a top-five finish.
But a great start after a caution stopped the race allowed Martin to zoom into the lead, with teammate Jeff Gordon close on his heels, to the shock and joy of the Musgroves and the Lifelock team.
According to the NASCAR.com article, Lifelock's CEO said: ""The last 18 [laps] we were together, tears started flowing from everyone at LifeLock. Being with [the Musgroves] just made the sponsorship that more special."
Both Richard and Donna Musgrove said that they would probably continue working despite the big win, but I sure hope that it will make some big dreams come true for them both.

Would You Pay Someone to Enter Sweepstakes For You?
The basic idea of the ad seemed to be that the individual would give her entry information to the freelancer to use with Roboform. The freelancer would enter her into approximately 500 sweepstakes a day, for a price of around $67 for the month.
There are some automatic sweepstakes services out there that specialize in entering people into giveaways, but this was the first I had heard about individuals hiring individuals to do the work for them.
On one hand, using a single person to enter just you into sweepstakes would avoid most automatic sweepstakes restrictions, as far as I can see (although it would prohibit the freelancer from entering sweepstakes that state that individuals must enter themselves into the giveaway).
But on the other hand, this is a lot of trust to put in a stranger. You'd have to hope that the freelancer wouldn't abuse your personal information, and you'd also have to hope that he or she would be careful enough to ensure that the forms were properly filled out and submitted.
Many sweepstakes don't send email confirmations, so you'd have to rely on the honesty of the freelancer. And from the freelancer's end, that's a lot of time spent for $60 a month. It wouldn't be surprising if he or she tried to cut corners to save time.
Plus, it's very expensive. Automatic sweepstakes services give you nearly a year's worth of service for the same price (although they have their own drawbacks. Read more in my article, Can Automatic Sweepstakes Services Help Me Win More?)
What do you think? Would you pay a freelancer to enter you in sweepstakes? Would you do it for a short period of time, if you're going to be on vacation or otherwise too busy to enter for a while? Take my quick poll, and click on the "Comments" button below to share your opinion.
