Is There a Way to Bypass Flash Sweepstakes?

By Sandra Grauschopf, About.com

Question: Is There a Way to Bypass Flash Sweepstakes?

I'm entering sweepstakes from a public computer where I can't download anything, and Flash isn't working for me. Is there a way to bypass Flash sweepstakes so that I can enter?

Answer: Sometimes, sponsors will offer an alternative method of entry for people who cannot view Flash. Look for links that say something like "Please click here if you can’t see the game."

If there is no online method of entry that works for you, you might look for an alternate mail-in entry method. A lot of sweepstakes offer mail-in entry as an option for people who don't own computers or who don't have internet access.
