Minimum production values accentuate the cheesiness of the approach here--a guardian angel (played by the director/producer) comes down to visit an earthling and reveal the secrets to becoming a contest winner. They visit fictional successful winners of the past who reveal their strategies in various kinds of contests, such as sweepstakes, or ones that involve some creativity, like recipes or ad campaigns. Some interesting pointers are offered, such as checking both the amount of exposure the contest has (regional vs. national) and the requirements needed to enter (the tougher, the better your odds of winning). There are even some tips on winning the kind of contests where you just drop your name in a box. The biggest secret? I'm going to tell you right now. Shhh..... here it is: Follow The Rules. That's it, you'll get nothing more out of me. An optional purchase. Aud: P. (E. Druda)
