Try Your Luck Thursday 03/04/2010

Holy moly, I’m actually going to have this week’s contest post published in time for Thursday’s newsletter! Ring the church bells and kiss a stranger on the street! I expect to be on the front page of every leading newspaper tomorrow and will start my talk show tour later this month.

Don’t miss the Facebook special freebies near the end of this post. The odds of multiple Hiffers winning those prizes are through the roof.

All of Kroger’s stores have a Hit the Hoops contest, with over 80,000 instant prizes for items like Coke, California Pizza, and Oscar Mayer. You can play once a day until the contest ends, which is on 04/06.

Dr. Pepper will fly you and two friends to Las Vegas, Miami, or New York for 3 nights and give you $500 spending cash. Ends 03/31.

Reese’s is sending a winner and three friends to either the 2011 NCAA Men’s of Women’s Final Four Tournament next year while a thousand consolation winners get free Reese’s Dark Peanut Butter cups. Ends 04/11.

I haven’t dove in years, but it’d be fun to win this three night trip to Pelican Bay Hotel for two, which comes with two free SCUBA dives. Ends 08/31.

Finally, I get tons of e-mails from Hiffers saying they’re still winning prizes from the Pace Picante contest. I’ll probably start throwing this contest into the list below at least once a month. Ends 07/31.

    The Jeanne Lottie pink tote is only for Canadian residents. Not sure is someone has mentioned this or not.

    Darn

    Arg, how did I miss that? Thanks Lee, I pulled the link.

    And Dollie, congrats!

    Yippy! I won a 20oz. Coke Zero from the Kroger hoops contest! Thanks Goob!

    Has anyone that played the Pace game won a ‘free’ bottle of salsa/picante? I got my coupon today, and it’s for $4 off one product, not a free product. Stores around here won’t take coupons worth more than the value of the item. So it seems a bit useless… :(

    Tina you can buy the big bottles with the handle

    is the $100 Urban Outfitters gift card link supposed to take you to the facebook fan page of college fashion?

  8. #8 Goob | March 5th, 2010 at 09:28 am

    Jill, that’s right, but I agree that it’s a little confusing. Here’s the post College Fashion made announcing that three lucky fans will win a $100 GC.

    Won $5 on my Kroger card from the Hoops contest!

  10. #10 Jeannie43952 | March 5th, 2010 at 07:54 pm

    I won free Kraft Cheese also!! :)

    I won the free coke from Kroger. Very handy that it goes right on your Kroger card so you don’t have to print a coupon or wait for it to come in the mail. Also you don’t have to worry about whether your cashier understands how coupons work etc.

    Regarding the Pace $4.00 coupons: I got my five already this year, so I’m done, but last year there was no limit and I won 15 or so. I redeemed them all at Kroger. Every time but once they gave me the whole $4.00 even though the salsa was less than that. One time the cashier said she could only give the exact amount which was fine with me. One time the cashier said we don’t take these. I just picked a different cashier the next time.
