March 9, 2012 — -- Every day of every year, companies offer amazing sweepstakes and contests where lucky winners can snag impressive prizes. And if you think nobody actually scores these free prizes, think again! By law, the prize must be delivered to a recipient.

In the past, "GMA" has introduced you to"Sweepers" who win prizes -- large and small -- most every month.

So, in the spirit of our new "Friday Freebies" series, here are "GMA"'s top five picks of the week, for sweepstakes that got our attention and captured our imagination!
