After-the-show flyer says I won--should I go?....pic

My wife must have signed up for something when I wasn't looking :S

I scratched the ticket on the flyer, and all my numbers match. I AM A WINNER. :B I am now supposed to call the dealer IMMEDIATELY, then go to the dealer to compare my WINNING numbers with the PRIZE BOARD.

That dealer is an hour away....what should I do :h

    I say drive there and get your lantern and eat as many hot dogs and popcorn as you can.


    Yup, pick up your free lantern, eat, and escape before the salesperson corners you.

    Then as long as you are in that town check it out. Go to a movie, check out some museums, do a little shopping, or whatever. Sounds like a good excuse to go for a drive and do something different.
  • Well, let's see: They printed 15,000 tickets. 1 of those tickets wins the pop-up. 1 wins the cooler. 1 wins the TV. 14,997 win the lantern.

    You need to be IN YOUR CAR NOW racing to get your prize!!!!!!!!!! Don't even take the time to respond to this post.

    GO.....NOW!!!!!
  • I can pretty much guarantee the OP won a lantern. It's just to sucker you into the dealership so they can corner you with a sales pitch. :)
  • That lantern is a piece of junk, and most likely that is what you won.
  • WOW!! It's got to be the pop-up! Oh wait a minute, what are those silly numbers posted under the pictures.

    It's pretty unusual to see the odds so prominently posted, they're usually in very, very small print. I guess it just depends on how desperate you are for a "free" LED hurricane lantern. :)
  • Rip up the flyer, throw it away and do something for the next three hours that you'd enjoy as opposed to what you'll go through for three hours chasing that prize. ;)
