Legitimate sweepstakes do not require upfront money in order to pay a winner...NEVER! Winners pay taxes AFTER they receive the winnings. Also, you have to enter a sweepstakes in order to win, Legitimate sweepstakes companies do not contact anyone unless they receive an entry from the person. If you are contacted without entering the sweepstakes, it is not a legitimate sweepstakes. Even if you entered a sweepstakes, remember that legitimate sweepstakes NEVER require upfront money in order for the person to collect their winnings.
