Summary: Good Info, even if not a perfect resource
Comment: Although this book is not perfect, you'd have a hard time finding one that is. When the topic of wining sweepstakes, contests and lotteries comes up, it's hard to create a perfect system for winning all the time since they're based on randomizing the winning entry.
That said, the book does offer some useful tips on how to focus on the types of sweepstakes and contests that offer the best odds. The most important thing you will learn from this book is how to focus on sweeps with the best odds and how to give yourself a potential further advantage. Other than that, don't expect this book to give you a secret way of picking numbers for a lottery, or astrological/magical ways of finding the key. The advantages he talks about are strictly based on odds. Better odds = higher chances of winning.

Summary: Waste of Money for Me.
Comment: I bought this book main for insights of winning lotteries. There was not much info with regrades to lotteries but, I did get a couple of good websites. This book is not that helpful otherwise. Alot of this book you could figure out yourself with very little thought. The only reason for the 2 ranking was for the website that did have some good info.

Summary: As a winner of many contests I recommend that you stay away!
Comment: I am a lucky person. I have won dozens of trips around the world, gift cards, movie tickets, concert tickets, books, movies, cds etc etc etc...and was looking to get a few new tips. I am SHOCKED at the lack of information. IE to win a lottery he suggests buying a ticket. (ok the joke is old eh?) and then goes on and on about odds...using up pages..just to find that he lets the machine pick the numbers. The local lottery website gives the same stats....
The information is old. Several contest newsletters have been out of print for over five years. Save your money from this book and get a subscription to one of the excellent contest newsletters such as Bestweekly or Sweepstakes News.

Summary: I read and won!
Comment: I was lucky to meet Steve at a book signing last month. He's a sincere, upbeat guy, and shared some good tips. I bought his book and followed his tips for playing Lotto and won some money a couple days later!( I NEVER win!) Thanks Steve!!
