sweepstakes

[Disney Addicted]

My sympathy for your loss.

That's a shame. I would have been so let down.

Disney doesn't normally send their sweep winning notification via USPS, they always come via Fedex, at least for the ones I have won and from ppl on my sweep boards that have won. Hope its good news irregardless


watkinsme- yours does put a new spin on it, I have never sent an affy for Disney to NYC, they always went to FL, very interesting....

Excuse my ignorance. I'm new to the whole contest thing. What's an affy? I'm not familiar with that term.

An affidavit is a type of verified statement or showing, or in other words, it contains a verification, meaning it is under oath or penalty of perjury.

Basically it's a statement that you sign verifying that you are eligible to win the contest under the rules stated and that you did in fact not violate any stated rules.

Oh! I know what an affidavit is. I just wasn't making the leap to that nickname for it. Got it now. Thanks.

I just had a letter delivered by Fedex from Ventura Marketing as well. It looks official and matches what the official rules say but I'm still skeptical. They didn't call or e-mail me either so I'm not sure. They ask that I have the affidavit sent back within the next few days and provided a pre-paid Fedex envelope. Does anyone know if this is for real?

It's TOTALLY for real!! There's a huge thread on the Theme Parks board about this, and this is exactly how and from whom the winners are being notified. Get that affidavit notarized & sent back -- looks like you won!!

 

[bowbat]

Here's a link to the thread on Theme Parks. It's fairly ginormous, but there are (I believe) 4 or 5 other winners on there besides you -- you can page through to find their posts & their experiences. So excited for you!!

Awesome! It kind of sounded bogus and I didn't like the idea of sending my SSN but if it worked out for you (and I see your name on the winners list) then I'll send mine back today. I can't believe it. I never win anything!!!

Oh, no, I didn't win. No idea why my name would be on a winner's list -- I'll need to check that out. But you were smart to be skeptical; I know I would've been, too! CONGRATS AGAIN!!!

I'm sorry. In all the excitement I thought I was responding to someone else who did win. Now I'm off to find a notary. Thanks for all the info everyone!

CONGRATS SUE!!!!!!

Thank you. I don't want to get too excited until it's verified though. I just can't believe it until then.

 

[kerplop]

Congrats Sue! You going to pick WDW or DL?

I got the same thing on Jan 9th - I sent mine back in and am still waiting the 7 business days to get the next information ( had a holiday in the middle there) - HOWEVER on the 12th my name appeared on the OMD site as a winner!

Congrats!

So exciting! Would FedEx leave this if no one was home? Just wondering as I work full-time.
