sweepstakes
Chance-based giveaway contest
A sweepstakes is a promotional contest where winners are chosen by chance rather than skill, typically requiring only that participants enter their names.
Unlike lotteries, sweepstakes are usually free to enter and are often used by companies to generate publicity or collect customer information.
The word, though plural in form, is used as a singular: I entered a sweepstakes for a new car.
Winners may receive cash, vehicles, vacations, or other prizes.
