Are sweepstakes still a thing? I believe they used to be a big deal up to approximately 20 years ago, but now?

    I won $10 from Publishers Clearing House once, does that count?

    I thought it was a scam. Sometimes they send out things that look like checks which say something like "Pay to the order of Joe Blow...TEN MILLION DOLLARS...if Joe Blow has the winning numbers in our prize drawing on date xx/xx/xxxx"

    But, no, it was an actual check which the bank accepted.

    I've won about $125 over the years from them....mostly $5 and $10 gift cards.
