But if you're going to be a debbie downer about everything, obviously it won't work.

There are many legal issues with sweepstakes, you may want to look up minimum age requirements if you are operating in the U.S. also the other posted was right.. ads will not generate enough money for these prizes, maybe in the future after you generate a lot of users because of these sweepstakes but you will only generate users if you have good enough prizes, and as you start off? you will be the one funding those prizes, not ads.
