The website works. I just went to it. Are you typing the address into a search engine or in the address bar of your browser? I see a lot of elderly people who mistakingly put every website into a search engine to get to it so it's a common mistake.

On the website it also says this: Mail: To enter by mail hand-print on a 3”x5” paper your name, address, day and evening phone numbers, email address (if any), and date of birth. Mail entry in a hand-addressed envelope to Dillard’s Shopping Spree Sweepstakes, 1600 Cantrell Road, Little Rock, AR 72201. Limit one (1) entry per separately mailed envelope. All mail-in entries must be received by midnight Central Standard Time February 25th, 2007.

So enter by mail if you really can't get to it but it DOES work.

Here is the correct link https://www.dillards.com/shoppingspree/

Good luck. There's only one prize.

MicheleAnn: This issue with the link not working is not a big deal. I dont think your complaint about non-working link with regards to a sweepstake shouldnt be posted on this site. There are more serious complaints than yours that are informative and consumer alert newsworthy.

The link does work. BTW it's a $2,500 shopping spree, not $2.500,000.

I disagree with MRM. A "shopping spree" contest is a form of advertising. False advertising is one of the reasons consumer websites were created.

Fortunately it was a simple mistake.

I don't think age has anything to do with it...it is like small helpful hints that help..I would have assumed search engine would have done it also, this has been a vital piece of info to use now and later to find websites. Thanks for it.
