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

[cbshoestring]

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

This is what happens when the DW enters the free draws at the RV or Home show.
Just be thankful it wasn't life insurance. Those guys will call/hound you like there's no tomorrow. Don't ask me how I know.

Am I the only one that things when he gets there, they will say "Sorry we are all out of hot dogs and popcorn".....

It's a shame there're so many negative people on this group. They advise that anytime anyone like you wins a valuable prize they have to down grade it. Are they jealous? Shame..I for one will congratulate you on your good fortune and will give you the opportunity to quadruple your good luck. First you need to collect your prize, sell it on Craigslist for a ridicules profit, then send the proceeds to me, the Crabby Old Fert. I will apply it to a down payment on my choice ocean front property in Mesa AZ. I will advise you every year or two of how your investment has grown/declined, (less administrative fees) ...You have a good day now, ya' hear..:)

ah shucks...I already invested on some land in Florida. I haven't actually seen the acerage, but the guy told me it was prime waterfront property.

Go buy an led hurricane lantern. It will be cheaper.

Got sucked into one of those once at a festival.

YOU HAVE WON A CRUISE!!!!

Nothing but a come on for a timeshare. The time it took to shake those people was unbelievable. The "luxurious" modern cruiseship was a 1950s vintage ship That I was familiar with as it used to visit Bermuda in the 60s.

Fuggedaboutit.

At our recent RV show a dealer had a ball toss game where you could win $$. Big hole was $10 and smallest hole was $1,000. There was a lineup to try it. If you got close enough the fine print on the board said whatever you win is how much you save off the purchase of a new RV from them. Wow, how cool is that? :R

A few years ago we won a free membership in a CG network after filling out a ticket for a draw at another RV show. Turns out you could only stay a couple of days per year and not on holidays. You've gotta know every ticket was a winner and they're out to snag buyers for a full membership.

Depends on what else is around the dealer.. For example when I go to the Dealer I bought this RV from there is a very nice restaurant within walking distance of the dealer's front gate... And other shopping nearby (Quarter to half mile) so I'd go and pick up my LED Hurricane Lantern worth about $1.50 in bulk (Perhaps 15 dollars on PCH.Com). Cause odds are that's what you won.

But you never know.. You might have one one of the larger prizes..

On the other hand if there is nothing in the area wo warrant the hour's drive

Well, I suspect you can figure it out from the prize I suspect you won.

[dodge_guy]

Just think of the poor salesman that will have one less sale because of us! We should be ashamed!

As P.T.Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute". And even that's a lie. His rival said it about good old P.T.

I know you 'jest' and just posted for reactions :B

[azrving]

Send DW. 🙂

[jfkmk]

Yeah, I'd blame it on my wife too!

[DownTheAvenue]

You won the lantern and it is about as big as your thumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
