Check in here if you won a OMDD trip! UPDATE: We HAVE 16 (+1) Winners!!

[J.J.]

They haven't updated the list since last Thursday, I believe. I don't think they can add anyone's name as a winner until they receive the affidavit back. They've confirmed me as a winner, but my name's not on the website yet. I'm not-so-patiently waiting. LOL! I know another DISer who won was J.J. and I don't believe his name is on there yet either.

My name is not on the list and I was told I was the 16th winner. So I assume that sometime this week our names will be added. Sue, I can't wait to see our names!

In my spam folder today:

Some Nigerians want to give me 20 million, I just need to forward my bank information

Cialis and a naturalpathic pharmacy want to help enhance my DH

I can get a certified degree/diploma for anything I want without going to school

and I can meet the new 'hot' guy panel' from seventeen magazine.

Nothing from Ventura though......

Sounds like you have some great opportunities there!

So, I logged on this morning to enter as usual and I got a message saying I had already entered today. I tried later this afternoon and got the same message. Since I didn't enter today or even late last night, could this be a sign of good things to come??? or just a computer glitch?

I was told that I won for Jan. 16th, by using the text method. I was still able to enter on the Jan. 17th using the same method. Once I received my phone call on the 18th I have not entered since.

That's so weird that you're the 16th winner. They should have only drawn 14 winners so far, according to the website. The drawing on the 18th was supposed to be for the 8-14th. Hmmm. I was wondering how there could be 11 winners listed on the website last Thursday. It seems like they only add the names once they receive our signed affidavits, so if the drawing was last Wednesday, they couldn't have any of those affidavits back the next day. We only go them on Thursday. Does that make sense?

Man, I just looked at my letter and I won for the 15th. They don't seem to be following the rules so who knows when they're doing the drawings and for what dates! Well, I guess there's no point in trying to figure it out. I just wish they'd update the website and add our names!

Can't wait to get something from Disney. The UPS truck just went by my house but didn't stop. I wish we knew what we were getting and how it would be delivered.

Am i the only one getting the "Sorry, a communication error occurred", message when they try and enter?! Reeaallyy gettin frustrated! I'm in charge of entering about 4 family members and I just started 2 days ago and I'd really like to get entered!! I'm getting nervous!

So they called 2 days after-Disney is definitely not doing what the rules have us believe(pulling all the weekly winners at one time)

So those waiting on a Magical Date to pull the names-forget it-it can happen DAILY!!!

 

[Halloweenqueen]

I think they waited for the first set in order to add multiple names to the webpage. After that...? Maybe daily now.

 

[camnhan]

really the drawing is today?!?!?! I had it in my head it was the 25th
YAH!!! fingers crossed!~!!

oh and if they are drawing daily...please just let me be in my dream world that I have better odds of being notified as a winner tomorrow if they are drawing like 7 names today....HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[cousinbb]

so.....is there a certain time that they will call? lolololol the day is getting later.......and later.....gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

 

[irishbosoxfan]

So, I saw somewhere on this thread that there have been 14 winners. I looked on the sweepstakes website today and I only see 11 winners listed. Just as an update (and apologies is this is a repeat!)

Lynn B - San Jose, CA
Scott K - New York, NY
Melissa A - Goose Creek, SC

Waiting patiently to see my name added to this list...

I just noticed today that they were showing names!

According to the rules they're supposed to be doing another drawing tomorrow. Fingers crossed for the Fed-Ex guy showing up!

I've been getting this on Firefox lately, so I open Internet Exploder and that works.

How many times does someone need to remind everyone that "ON OR ABOUT" means "ON OR ABOUT"? Nothing is set in stone with when they pick names, those are just loose guidelines.

Trust me, as someone who works for a major media company and picks contest winners all the time, nothing is clockwork here. There's no specific time, no specific method, or specific day, etc. They don't hold a company-wide gathering at 3pm each draw day and pick 7 names from a hat. It's not like that.

Good luck to everyone!

I have a friend who is a DJ - and very rarely did he pick the actual "caller #7" More likely he waited a minute or two and the first person who sounded excited he gave the prize to them....this was for free movie tickets, free cd's - etc - large prizes they took more seriously though

Have you recieved your info from Disney yet as far as more details on the vacation? Just curious how they are handling it all.

 

[watkinsme]

originally my letter said I would receive written confirmation in 7 busines days via usps

HOWEVER

last week I got an e-mail (actually 2 in my junk mail) saying I was a grand prize winner (from Ventura) and that my next contact would come from disney. They didn't specify call or mail - but if it is mail and it doesn't come by the 2nd I won't get it till the 13th because I'll be in WDW

The rules are clearly posted on the contest site, no need to read 1,000 posts.
