Does anyone else receive their entry via e-mail? I'm blocking it from here on as I always receive it AFTER they choose the winner! "On or around the second Friday of the month" a winner will be chosen and I consistently receive the e-mail to enter after the second Friday. So much for a fair playing field...

I get mine in e-mail - just got it today, even. I thought the e-mail from this month was for next month's drawing...
My e-mail read:
"You could WIN $500 in merchandise from MRC/Academy and a one-year subscription to FineScale Modeler. Click here to enter your name in the September 2004 monthly sweepstakes."
I've wondered about this a bit and still don't understand the timing of their newsletter...

That's correct. The winner drawn on the second Friday is for the previous month's entries. So you have approximately 30 days to enter each month. September winner will be drawn in October, etc..., etc...
