Tonight's sweep was advertised as a "Win $25,000 cash!" promotion. However, looking at the official rules, it looks like the grand prize winner is only guaranteed to win a $1,000 gift card, and then has the opportunity to play a game with a $25,000 possible prize. You'll do well to consider a $1,000 gift card as the true grand prize of this promotion.
What can you win?
One grand prize winner will receive a $1,000 Lane Bryant gift card. The grand prize winner will also participate in a chance-based game to determine if he/she will win an additional $25,000 cash award. The grand prize winner will be invited to select and remove two envelopes from fifteen sealed envelopes mounted to a board. Two of these 15 envelopes contain a certificate for the $25,000. In order to win, both winning envelopes must be selected. The winning envelope will be revealed if not selected by the winner. The odds of winning the additional $25,000 are 1 in 105.
Two first prize winners will each receive a $500 Lane Bryant gift card.
Five second prize winners will each receive a $100 Lane Bryant gift card.
Ten third prize winners will each receive a $25 Lane Bryant gift card.
How do I enter to win?
Text LBWIN to 50799 to enter to win. If the price of a stamp is cheaper for you than texting, or if you don't have a cell phone capable of texting, print your name, address, city, state, zip code and day, evening and mobile telephone numbers with area code on a 3 1/2" x 5" (postcard size) paper, and mail to:
“Text to Win”
90 Rockwood Place
Rochester, NY 14610
The official rules also states:
If you wish to enter the Lane Bryant mobile marketing program, please state this on the card as well.
The official rules are a little confusing as it refers to your mail-in entry as both a "paper" and a "card", and also mentions the phrase "(postcard size)". Myself, I will be sending in a pre-stamped post office postcard into this sweepstakes. I think sending in a piece of paper or a card in the appropriate size would work as well. Your mail in entry must be postmarked by January 30th, 2010 and received at the above address by February 5th, 2010. The official rules do not state how often you may enter, but I have a feeling this sweepstakes is a one-entry promotion.
Please Note: Leaving a comment to this post will not enter you into this sweepstakes.
You will need to submit your sweepstakes entries either through texting, or through the mail.
When are winners drawn?
On February 10th, 2010.
