No, you can't lie about your age. It's called "cheating" and if you're caught, the sponsor doesn't have to give you the prize.

There are sweepstakes out there that you can enter. Go-Gurt, Kraft, J-14, Nickelodeon and KidzWorld run kids contests all the time.

if you win, they will not have to pay you the winnings, as it is illegal for you to enter

No it is not okay to lie to enter sweepstakes. Depending upon how you enter, you could be committing a federal crime.

Throw out anything you enter that wins.

What's the point?

Feel the need to waste postage?

It's illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to enter a sweep-stake, and they will check ID if you win.

well if they catch ya lying if u win, they could disqauliffie youj

When entering into a sweepstakes, they will have the age requirements and will definitely ask your date of birth. This is to make sure that they have the information for later use. If by chance, you win, they can take away all your prizes or winnings because you made a fraudulent document. As said in the prior postings, enter with your mom or dad's name and you'll be fine. Good luck!

LIKE YOU SAID YOU ARE 13 I AM A LITTLE OLDER
OK A LOT OLDER. BUT LET ME GIVE YOU SOME ADVISE. WHEN YOU LIE
IT USUALLY STARTS OUT SMALL AND THEN IT JUST GOES ON FROM THERE. I KNOW YOU THINK THIS ISN'T A BIG DEAL BUT YOU ARE FRAMING THE WAY YOU WILL TURN OUT TO BE AS AN ADULT. I HOPE YOU DON'T ENTER THE SWEEPSTAKES AND I HOPE YOU WILL BE A PERSON OF INTEGRITY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO YOU FOR, BUT I AM PRETTY SURE YOU WONT GET THE PRIZE.AND WOULD YOU REALLY WANT IT KNOWING YOU WAS NOT HONEST ( CHEATED )

What you should do is enter it under your mum or dad's name that seems safer
