Will Florida and New York let you change a sweepstakes after it starts?

I then called New York’s Department of State and asked the same questions. The person I spoke with in New York was also very courteous and told me that changes to the rules are strictly prohibited after the sweepstakes begins. She also said that if additional prizes were added after the sweepstakes was registered, the bond that was included in the sweepstake’s registration documents would not be large enough to cover the additional prizes. I asked her if I could send a revised or new set of rules that included the change and a larger bond. She told me that would not be accepted and repeated that “you cannot change the rules of a sweepstakes that has already begun.”
