"Has anyone ever been selected/win a sweepstakes? actually accepted?"

ok heres the deal
so I filled out a sweepstakes at the movie theaters
I get a call today that I and 12 other people got selected.
The sweepstakes is sponsored by a vacation/travel company.
I have 1 hour to call back to lock in my spot

It is for a 3 night stay (she gave me options)
for myself + husband + I can bring 4 people alonn
and I chose las vegas.
Also, I would get a voucher for $200

Trade off: I would have to sit in a 90 presentation
(to sell whatever they are going to sell)
but i made sure to ask if I had to buy anything and they said No.
ok
so they would cover flights/lodging
-Transportation would be on us.

So after the presentation, we are also getting a 3night cruise
and they had bahamas, mexico, some carribean island spots
What we would have to cover: Port fees, alcoholic beverages, tips.

So this is what we get:
3 night at a hotel/flights
3night cruise vacation with food

What we pay:
76$ to lock down this offer
port fee's for cruise
alcohol
tips

is this worth the 90 min presentation plus
port fees and alcohol money and whatever else we have to pay for?

I havent accepted or anything cus im just paranoid
shit sounds sketch
plus I have no idea what they will get us into once we sit for
that 90 min presentation
