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.

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.

Also, they can restrict you from liking pages temporarily if you've liked too many pages in a short period of time (i.e. blog giveaways/rafflecopter entries where you have to like umpteen pages to get the max number of entries).

I'm just getting back into it for first time in a year. Started out with only instants and had a pretty nice July, scoring a $100 gift card from Lunchables, and the grand prize of concert tickets to Brad Paisley and $200 gift card from that Frito-Lay call-in, along with several smaller wins. But over last couple weeks have been ramping up on the dailies and 1-time entries; probably doing around 150 total per day now, plus 50-60 instants. No win notices yet but figured it takes a few weeks to get rolling. Just curious, in general, how many wins to expect from around 200-300 entries/day. Only looking for a ball park figure; obviously nobody can say for certain. Thanks for any feedback.

I probably win 2-3 sweeps a week, the majority are crap wins like coupons, $5 GC, song downloads. So I'm hesitant in saying all wins are great wins.
My best guess is after 3-4 months, you will average 5-10 wins a month, but majority will not be worth mentioning.

During that time, I have entered 48,958 contests and won a prize at least 528 times. That's a win ratio of 1 wins out of 1%. Here's how they break down:
411 wins out of 19860 daily entries for a win ratio of 2.1% - total value $50,673
65 wins out of 26016 one time entries for a win ratio of 0.2% - total value $13,319
3 wins out of 294 hourly entries for a win ratio of 1.0% - total value $230
12 wins out of 465 24 hour entries for a win ratio of 2.6% - total value $15,478
25 wins out of 850 weekly entries for a win ratio of 2.9% - total value $6,672
0 wins out of 9 biweekly entries for a win ratio of 0% - total value $0
7 wins out of 818 monthly entries for a win ratio of 0.9% - total value $793
0 wins out of 67 quarterly entries for a win ratio of 0% - total value $0
5 wins out of 579 no limit entries for a win ratio of 0.9% - total value $2,745
These figures are not 100% accurate because there are instances where a contest is listed only once but I actually entered and won more than once — for example, an ongoing weekly contest that I've won 8 or 9 times will be listed here as only a single contest and a single win. But I don't think those exceptions would be statistically significant. Also, I took somewhere between six months and a year off from entering during this time.
The wins include 21 that had a value of $1,000 or more (including a car, a laptop, many trips, and cash).

Wow! You are incredible! If you don't mind posting again, I bet there are others besides me who wonder how you are able to collect/store all this data. Thanks for your sharing!
