I filled one out once, I got a free Volcano Box from Taco Bell.

:snoop:

But the money I spent on Toilet paper after, wasn't worth the trip I took.

I filled out many of these things, I never won.

EDIT: This thread reminded me that I had 4 receipts on my desk. I filled out 4 surveys... Fingers crossed right?

those too. anything "survey" for that matter. from now on, it is "suggestions". watch me change it guys. keep an eye out.


to those saying you've won, i don't doubt you were one of the lucky 5 out of a million to get $10 or free tacos. but certainly not $1000, or $10,000!. i've never tried, but only because it's in every receipt and i feel like a desperate whore when i think about filling them out, and i think those are exactly the kind of people these corporations try to target.  which is kinda sad if you think about it. :sad:

You know those "enter code under cap, chance to win $1,000,000" on soda bottles?


I bet that like 98 percent of the time someone had a million dollar winning code they didn't even bother to enter it in to see if it's a winner.


Imagine being able to go back in time and finding out that you could have gotten a million dollars, if only you thought to enter some stupid code from a soda bottle into the computer?

I just started entering those second chance number on scratch off's.

Some old guy told me he would get looser tickets out of the trash and enter them online. He averaged around 300 or 400 dollars a month from it.

I think most of those "contests" are scams where the big prizes are really there, but the company that is offering the prize keeps it themselves.

The biggest example of this is McDonald's Monopoly game. Sure, I've won a bunch of apple pies and double cheeseburgers when I still ate a Mickey d's back in the day, but I'm pretty sure the park place puzzle pieces are knowingly put where a high up McDonald's employee can "redeem" the prize.

another good catch :thumbup:

why can't they just be honest and say exactly what you are going to win.

and that's exactly the kind of thinking that keeps one gambling

sounds like a bunch of rich bastards gambling. and it is not like they would be taking away from the company, because i am sure many people would buy from mc d's just for the prizes. it like a bunch of extra free cash.

Wendy's gives you 2 bucks off their sandwhiches or burgers. BK gives you a free whopper or chicken sandwich.

No winning required.
