So I received my EAA Sport Aviation magazine with the page for the sweepstakes entry.

It has 10 entry tickets, mostly filled out, and on a single perforated sheet.
Do you guys rip the 10 entries apart before mailing in or do you mail as a single sheet?

I want to WIN
 
might as well rip up and throw in the garbage
 
You can waste the postage to mail them into the EAA and they will sort them into the round file or you can do it yourself. I ma pretty sure they have the winner picked out before they even print the tickets.
Much like the "publishers clearing house", they never knocked on a door when the folks were not home, they never knocked on a door where the occupants were in their jammies or drunk or were yelling at their kids or doing their taxes.
 
I separate mine. Read the instructions,I think it says (or used to) to separate them. There's also a limit of how many you can cram into a single envelope for mailing.

Like the lottery, you can't win if you don't play. Like the lottery, you aren't very likely to win.

Unlike the lottery, playing is free. You can always turn in your tickets at an event, if you're going anyway. Oshkosh, Sun-n-Fun, etc. No extra expense if doing it that way . . .
 
I seperate my entries.

For just the cost of a stamp and envelope plus a few minutes of my time, I could win a plane. Sounds good to me and far cheaper than the popular airplane raffles always mentioned on here though I buy a few tickets from a couple of them every year as well.
 
Your odds are much better with the wings raffles
 
You can enter online.

If you look merely at the total number of entries versus your entries, yes. But if you consider it as a factor of $ spent per entry, it is different.
 
If you just rip and mail, you'll submit invalid entries. You have to write in either your phone number or email address.
 
Lazlo Hollyfeld could probably help you out.
