This isn't really prize trickery, (or is it??...) but I wanted to share my 'ZOU prize experience....My brother in law (sisters boyfriend at the time) won '94 dollars, and 9 CD's and qualified for something, but didn't win the big prize. He got the 94 dollar check in the mail along with a letter saying congratualions, come by Bear Hill Rd, and pick up the CD's.... So he did. He got the CD's, BUT they didn't take the paper that said that he won the CD's, so he said to me "you should try to go up there with the letter, and get some CDs. I did
and again, they didn't take the letter LOL....So, what did I do? Called a friend of mine, went up to Waltham, got 9 more......and this happened only once more, because they ran out of CD, and only had 6 on hand, so they took the lettter with my (my brother in law's) address on it, and sent me the remaing 3 about a week later. But it wasn't all glitter, because there were a bunch of doubles, and of people I didn't know. I still have the St Etienne, MC Brains, and Chesney Hawkes CD's LOL
