The Dish HDTV Giveaway

[gpflepsen]

It seems the all that have checked directly with E* about their entries are getting a different number than what is given via the web site pop-up. I'm sure the database the CSRs are using is the contest database. There is a disconnect with the web site's report.

I just may send an envelope to get the winners list. It's only 74 cents.

From the business rules:
____________________________________________________

By that time anybody wanting to find out if they won if they didnt know if they got notified or not would already be ineligible.

Below shows July 13 as the last day that drawings will be done:
___________________________________________________

RANDOM DRAWINGS: Twenty-Five (25) Grand Prize winners will be selected daily for four (4) weeks, in a series of twenty-eight (28) random drawings from among all eligible entries received. Daily drawings will be conducted for the first twenty-seven (27) non-holiday weekdays (Monday - Friday) during the Promotion Period on or about 3:00 P.M. on the second non-holiday weekday occurring thereafter. Entries received on a holiday or non-weekday will be included with entries received on the first weekday thereafter occurring. The final drawing will occur on or about July 13, 2004 and will award the balance of Prizes. Drawings will be administered by Arrowhead Promotions & Fulfillment Company, an independent sweepstakes fulfillment company whose decisions regarding all matters pertaining to the operation of the random drawings shall be final.

___________________________________________________

My account shows (still) 301 entries. So, being the good webbie, here's the URL for the image https://customersupport.dishnetwork.com/images/customercare/HDTVPopGood.jpg I'm wondering if people that have different levels get a different image name, or if the image is composited on-the-fly.

It might be fun to randomly check on the names to see if:
a. The person actually exists.
b. If they really won.

Looks like each image is based on a level. Here is the URL for the image I get: https://customersupport.dishnetwork.com/images/customercare/HDTVPopStd.jpg
I've done the survey, got auto pay and signed up for Dishspam but I still only get the "Std" image.

Has anyone asked for "proof" that they are now at the 401 entries level?

I'm just worried that after all of the steps taken, I'm still only going to have one entry and have lost out on 400 other odd increasing opportunities.

 

[Stargazer]

DishSatUser, you are thinking the same way as I.
