It's because the State of Florida has a law that requires any company holding a 
sweepstakes or contest with prizes valued at $5,000 or more to post a bond. Our state 
government is protecting us -- protecting us right out of the chance to enter and win 
sweeps and contests that people all over the rest of the country are able to 
participate in. :(
