NEW YORK (AP - Givea-
ways, contests and sweepstakes
are sweeping the country today
but your chances of winning
anything of great value are

games Each time you enter the
station you receive a marked

odds are prohibitive on the larg-
er prizes. It is possible in some
■contests that a top prize never
will be won.
