Another sweepstake catch

One day, I found a story about sweepstake.

It is about a man that found a copy of a Reader’s Digest book in his mail. He noticed there some a line which reading: “Free, Select Edition”. Besides, there is a notification of a sweepstakes. "You will automatically be entered once for the prize offered in this mailing... Money Sweepstakes #940". What’s more, there is a detailed description about the sweepstakes. Of course that all above is not the most attractive part, the most attractive part is here: "you get a selection approximately every 2 months for Select Editions...no obligation to buy!"

The man had never ordered a Reader's Digest subscription. But he was on a number of mailing lists.

He may not the only one of those who has received such “gift”. Obviously that is a catch. Anyone who has such experience can share so that people can be avoid being cheated.
