Yes! Your friend may enter once a day at http://dsc.discovery.com/sweepstakes/xerox/color/, through July 3, 2005.
How many people can enter the sweepstakes?
The sweepstakes has an ongoing registration so it is difficult to say, but there is no maximum number.
Why is the sweepstakes available only to U.S. residents?
Different rules and regulations associated with games of chance in other countries make it difficult to administer sweepstakes and games outside the United States.
What should I do if I can't reach the sweepstakes web pages when I try to visit?
Come back and try again another time! Many Internet sites experience "traffic jams" from time to time. Refreshing the page may help. However, if you have problems connecting to all web sites, contact your system administrator; you may have a problem at your end.
I'm having trouble entering the sweepstakes. My computer seems to be too slow or times out repeatedly. What should I do?
From time to time, the Internet experiences heavy periods of traffic. The slowdown in the registration process is often caused by a large number of consumers trying to register for the sweepstakes at the same time. If you are experiencing "time-outs" while trying to register, we suggest that you wait a few minutes or try again at a later time.
I'm a Macintosh user. Will I have trouble entering the sweepstakes?
No, the sweepstakes is equally accessible through Macs and PCs.
