“Work smart, not hard.” An old boss of mine told me that. I didn’t quite know what he meant at the time, and it ran counter to my dad’s advice of just “work hard.” However, I soon began to see what my boss meant. Sometimes the path of least resistance is the best path to take simply because you can cover more ground. This is why we started adding new features to your Jackpot Journal. First, we added handy entry cards in the back of your publication to save you time when entering mail-in sweepstakes. Then, we included a pre-addressed return envelope for all your puzzle and game page entries. Now all you have to do is simply detach your completed game pages, slip them into the envelope, and drop it in mail.
You may have also noticed that we started including scannable QR codes with every online sweepstakes we feature. After two years of having to scan bar codes on restaurant menus, this technology has become quite common. Using the same idea, you can use the camera on the mobile phone to scan the code on each page. This will take you directly to the sweepstakes website where you can instantly enter. Of course, we will always provide an alternative way of entering, but this new option is now available to you as well. You see, I’ll bet you feel smarter already.
