Fly to the Finish Sweepstakes

Every year, the Versus Network is the only American source for watching the Tour de France broadcasts. (To find the channel number for Versus in your area, go to the Versus home page and enter your ZIP code in the box at the upper left corner of the page.) Versus, in conjunction with Saab, runs a "Fly to the Finish Sweepstakes" every year in conjunction with the Tour. The main prizes are always a Saab car and a top-'o-the-line Cervelo bike.

You enter a key word daily on the Sweepstakes page to see if you're a daily winner. (I think daily winners are entered for the Grand Prize at the end -- not sure about that.) Because several key words are given out each day which can be entered (each word can only be entered once), it makes it challenging to accumulate all the key words. They are given out on the race broadcast and at several other web sites. (If you get behind, you can enter the words cumulatively at any time, I think. You don't have to enter the words on the day they're given.)

If you want to play, I'll post daily all the key words so all you have to do is go to the Sweepstakes entry page and enter the words. You have to register the first time you enter, then use only your email address to enter from that point on.

Here is the Fly to the Finish Sweepstakes entry page. I think the first time you try to enter a key word it will say you need to register to play. Then just enter your email address to make subsequent entries. After entering a key word (and you don't win) click to enter another word until you use up all the day's words.

Here are all the key words that have been issued so far (that I'm aware of). You can go to the entry page and begin playing with these words:

saab
rpm
time bonus
echelon
breakaway

Check the blog daily (preferably near the end of the day so I'll have had time to accumulate the words) and get the key words for the day.
