Our favorite brand of frozen pizza has been running a contest. Specially marked boxes have a code inside. Enter the code online to have a chance to win the grand prize of $100,000 (or some lesser prize).
The first code that I tried (over a month ago) came back as "Invalid or used code." I e-mailed the company to tell them about this less-than-satisfactory attempt. No response.
The next code that I tried came back "Sorry, loser." Maybe the message wasn't quite that succinct, but that was essentially what it meant. They did give me a $1 coupon.
I tried a code about a month ago that hung up my computer. When I tried entering it again, I got the "Invalid or used code" message. I e-mailed the company, told them the code, and wanted to make sure they had it on record in case I won the $100,000. (Ha ha ha!) They did respond this time with a "sorry" but they can't enter the code for me and better luck next time. (Thanks a bunch.)
The very next code that I tried told me I won a 3rd place prize! A FREE PIZZA! They will be sending the coupon within four to six weeks.
Tonight's code resulted in another "Sorry, loser" and the consolation $1 coupon.
Lew expressed his disappointment. He was really counting on that $100,000....
Or at least another free pizza.
