See existing thread on this contest here (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum74/HTML/008291.html). Near the bottom, someone has reported being an instant winner.

I've gotten Alaska 4 times. I keep getting the same states over and over again, specially RI.

Same here...If I get South Carolina just twice more, I will be qualified to vote there, and 5 more times after that, I get to be governor. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I believe it is New York that is the rare one.

So far I've gotten 34 states (my states look like W's on election night), but no instant prizes. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif And no New York, guess I should've put in more time there on the campaign trail. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

As is usual, New York is targeted.

I called Starwood to ask about New York, and the customer service agent told me that anyone who had ever complained about the Sheraton New York and Towers or the Sheraton Manhattan had their account flagged so that they could not get New York. Apparently, they did this so that they would not have to give away the grand prize for getting all 50 states.
