Is It Possible To Enter Contests and Sweepstakes As A Living?

Is it possible? Certainly. Applying for a massive number of giveaways so that the expected payoff is substantial sounds good but I don't know how many you have to do to make that happen. If, for example, 10,000 people enter a contest for a $15,000 car then each entry is worth about $0.66 on average. If a person filled out 50,000 of similar worth entries, the expected winnings would be $33,000 of winnings a year. If the average time to sign and fill out the entry was 2 min, it would take 32 hours of filling out entries a week to win that amount.

The real issue is finding that many entries with that good of odds but it seems doable. Luck wouldn't come into play averaged out over several years and hundreds of thousands of entries. Here is a website about it: http://www.ehow.com/how_4676780_living-w...takes.html
