Consumer authorities are in agreement that deceptive practices relating to
sweepstakes are very common. Finding that the current methods of
disclosure were inadequate and created misunderstandings, the
California Legislature passed legislation that requires more
complete disclosure of rules, prohibits the use of toll telephone numbers
(such as “900” or “976” numbers), and prohibits identifying
people as winners when they have not won. Remember — even
if the contest, sweepstake, or lottery you enter follows all of
the legal requirements the chances are you won’t win.
