Consider talking to your tax preparer and researching about your tax responsibility.

What does "age of majority (sometimes abbreviated as AoM+) in your state or province" mean?
The age of majority is the threshold of adulthood as it is conceptualized in law. It is the chronological moment when children legally assume majority control over their persons and their actions and decisions, thereby terminating the legal control and legal responsibilities of their parents over and for them.
http://en.wikipedia.or
In most U.S. states, the age of majority is 18, except for Nebraska and Alabama (19), and Mississippi (21). The age of majority in American Samoa and Puerto Rico is 14.

Missing prizes
If you were expecting a prize you've never received, you can complain first to the sweepstakes administrator, then to the sweepstakes sponsor, and finally to USPS Postal Inspectors

Occasionally, a less than ethical sweep will get posted. You might end up finding unauthorized charges on your phone bill. This is called "cramming". Once you contact the company that's charging you, and you have requested your phone company remove the charge, you can file a complaint with the FCC.

thanks phans!
In general the more you are able to enter the better you do.
In general the less consistent you are in entering something over a long period of time the worse you will do.
In general contests that award less prizes are harder to win.
In general if you can't enter every day on dailies, single entries might be easier to win for you. You are on even odds with everyone else as compared to lesser odds then some people.
I do about 50-60 IWGs a day, 100 or so dailies, then look various places for any single entry sweeps, facebook sweeps, or Twitter sweeps. I don't use roboform, but I do use the feature in Firefox that saves what you type in fields that lets you arrow down and tab through pretty quickly on most of them.
The way I see it, even if you don't have time for dailies try to enter them at least once instead of skipping over them entirely. I have seen quite a few stories from people that have only entered a daily contest once and won (recently one on SD won the car from eBay and only entered once, IIRC).

I used the same Firefox feature until a couple of months ago. Then I got Roboform and it saves me a ton a time.
I also use my FB newsfeed because I often see comment to enter/one day only giveaways. I've won dozens of small to medium things from those.
Like, I have zero interest in sweeps that are for guns, tires, NASCAR trips, computer equipment, children's toys, etc., so I don't bother to enter because I figure that gives someone who really wants the prize that much more of a chance to win. But is that the prevailing sweeping philosophy? Or do most people enter EVERYTHING since a win is a win?

Also, I have an add-on in Firefox where I open 10 or so tabs, use keyboard shortcut such as Alt + (letter you want to assign) and it fills it up for me, it also has a shortcut where it fills it up for you and submit it but I doubt I'll ever use it, I just want to make sure it's all filled. It saved me a lot of time when I discovered that feature.
I might enter a gun sweepstakes if I actually learn how to use one.
I love when people win things they really want/would enjoy. Like those VIP trips.

I've just started using FF. What's the add-on? TIA

Also, I sync my bookmarks so I can now log on to any computer and see all my bookmarks without having to export it and be able to enter my sweeps.
