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.

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.

UPS delievered a Micro Chanielle Robe I won one day. I was all psyched up, at it was a $75 prize. Tracking said delivered. Check my porch. Nothing! Check neighbor across the street and porches of nearbye houses--nothing. Turns out neighbor on other side of the street with same street # had gotten it. They signed for the package, even though it was under my name. Took me knocking on the door and asking for them to return it to me. The box was already opened, and it was correctly addressed to me. Creepy mother you know what was gonna steal it had I not knocked on his door. So if someone is willing to steal an item I know is going to be delivered, how would someone feel about taking something I (you) don't know about?
I don't think I would stop entering if I was you...I would however adjust my expectations to maybe not receiving the item. Remember 1) Most big prizes, they will need to verify your info. 2) Most decent prizes have tracking info (sometimes indirectly through myUPS). 3) The person moving in will likely be awesome and nice. I guess what I'm saying is don't spend your life worrying about 'what if'.
Thanks, Implode, for the response. Definitely helped. I will keep entering!

Seriously, I do more than that, but it's because my computer is slow (new one is ready whenever I can go get it). I load tabs (not many at a time) then do chores, etc., so it's not 12+ hours sitting - probably 4 hours sitting (I'll know once I get my new pc).

Really not sure how anyone can enter 12 hours a day...you are organized and selective that shouldn't be the case.
Today, I recieved a 1099 in the mail regarding this trip and they have the value at $11000!?!?
I'm going to contact the sweepstakes person that I have to see what they can do about it. Is there anything else I should do? I really don't want to pay more than twice as much in taxes than I was expecting.
