Nice to correspond...the WWE thing is run by an outfit called Charity Buzz and the promotion is directly tied to the NYC Mayor's Office and The NJ Governor's office. Most important, the $$$ doesn't go to a private concern (WWE), but to charitable ends that have their paperwork filed with state/federal authorities. The WWE is nothing more than the brand/property donating the inventory upon which the promotion is based...and Charity Buzz is the administrator.

For Fuse or any brand to run a promotion in conjunction with a consumer spending money, or investing resources which constitute an unreasonable investment into resources in order to enter, would be considered a lottery - and only states can run those. This is why at the top of every Sweepstakes rules, it says 'No Purchase Necessary.'

Many Internet based promotions (enter by email), for example, also have 'enter by mail' options to make sure that they are giving people every reasonable chance to enter and not prejudice the promotion towards only those w/ computer access.

Right now, on a current Coke promo, here is the language on the 'free method of entry.'

Free Method of Entry: During any Individual Sweepstakes Period, hand print your name, address, phone number, My Coke Rewards username (email address), age, and the title of the sweepstakes you wish to enter (as set forth on the list of "Sweepstakes") on a 3" x 5" piece of paper and mail it in an envelope with proper postage to "2013 My Coke Rewards Sweepstakes – Free Entry" and write the title of the sweepstakes that you wish to enter on the envelope, c/o ePrize, Inc., P.O. Box 5996, Dept. 580902, Kalamazoo, MI 49003-5996. For each mailed-in entry, you will receive 1 entry into the individual sweepstakes indicated on your entry card and envelope. Limit: 1 entry per envelope. All mail-in entries must be handwritten, become the exclusive property of Sponsor, and none will be acknowledged or returned. Proof of sending or submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, illegible, misdirected or postage-due entries, which will be disqualified. All mail-in entries must be postmarked and received by the dates set forth in the details of each individual 2013 My Coke Rewards Sweepstakes accessed from the "Sweepstakes" section of the Website.

For All Entries: Limit: Each participant may submit up to 100 entries per calendar day across all individual 2013 My Coke Rewards Sweepstakes by any method or combination of methods of entry, and allocate those entries as he/she wishes (e.g., 30 entries in each of 3 of the individual sweepstakes and 10 entries in a 4th, totaling 100). Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated maximum number of entries by using multiple/different My Coke Rewards Accounts, email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that participant's entries and that participant may be disqualified from the 2013 My Coke Rewards Sweepstakes and any of the Sponsor's other promotions. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar entry methods or agents (including, but not limited to, sweepstakes entry services) will void all entries by that entrant. When a participant redeems points to enter a 2013 Sweepstakes, he or she will need to have a valid physical address linked to his or her Account. If a participant does not provide a physical address when required, or if his or her email address is deemed to be invalid, Sponsor reserves the right not to invalidate the entry, and/or to lock Enrollee's Account, in its sole discretion.
