I won a trip. Just got the affy while making dinner. It is from Womans Day. It is the Woodland Resort Sweepstakes. Two night stay in the Fairway Pines,a full daily breakfast for 2, a 50-minute Swedish Massage for two, a refresher facial for two, unlimited access to the forest oasis waterscape and the fitness center. Signing the release when I post this.
Congratulations, thanger! That sounds like a neat trip ... and the Womans Day sweeps are very hard to win considering how many folks enter. Have a wonderful time.
7-night stay at Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos. The estimated retail value is around $13K...luxury suite...breakfast every day and a dinner on the beach...
total value from $18,816 > $29,120 (not including breakfast, 1 dinner, and anything else included)
Holiday rates (would add even more value) apply:
Dec. 19, 2007-Jan. 1, 2008
Feb. 14-18, Mar. 20-29, Nov. 26-29, 2008
Dec. 19, 2008-Jan. 1, 2009
also note 25% tax/service is added to all F&B purchases. you might ask what it would cost to add more meals to what you currently have. like a supplementary meal plan.
there is quite a bit of discussion in the luxury hotels forum, and the resort is very well regarded.
enjoy the trip im certainly jealous

Won a $10.00 check from a Nabisco promotion, although they really weren't clear, but there was a card for their products enclosed. Also $1.00 from Freelotto
I'm new to sweepstakes and once stumbled upon a scam so do not want to be cheated on again. Please weigh in your seasoned opinions.

Please fully complete and notarize the affidavit and return your original copy. Your affidavit must be received within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this win email notification.

Looks real to me. Did you enter this contest?
One of my wins was sent exactly this same way. And eprize is a real company that does these things.
I did have to have mine notarized too.
But in the end you have to make the decision.
A few days ago you asked for my opinion about this win in a private email, and I responded to you, noting that ePrize is one of the largest promotional/judging agencies in the country and it does not run scams. I can see, however, that you remain unconvinced.
So, here is ePrize's home page: http://www.eprize.com You can email them directly and ask them if this win is for real. ePrize usually sends out their affadavits by email rather than usps/dhl/FedEx, etc. so it is normal to receive one in this manner. It is also normal for affadavits to require your social security number so that you can have the honor of paying tax on your $3,100windfall.
If you do not want to accept the prize, that is fine too. But I would urge you to let ePrize know in a timely manner so that they can go on to the next name on the winner's list.
