mikeshard.com mike’s Mini ATV Giveaway Sweepstakes
Enter to win Fifteen (15) Grand Prizes will be awarded. Winners will receive one (1) mini All-Terrain Vehicle (“ATV”). Approximate Retail Value of each prize: $7,000.00. Total Approximate Retail Value of prize: $105,000.00.
During the Sweepstakes Period, send a Text Message Entry (“TME”) by texting “MIKESATV” from your handset addressed to short code 55678.
I received a text asking for my name, address, DOB, phone number etc to be sent to a certain link/email so I sent all the info and I got an automated msg back that I would be hearing from them within 24 hours. Then a little while later I got another text saying " Please disregard the previous message sent in error. Thanks, mike's ATV. So, I think I almost won an ATV... probably not. I read the rules and it said the winners would be notified today on July 12th. There was a phone number at the bottom of the email which I called a few times and I just get voice mail.....Oh well
 
I got the same text message. I emailed my info. Maybe we all are one the 15 grand prize winners....crossing my fingers! :)
 
Did you receive the follow-up text saying to disregard the previous text? If not then you probably did win...the rest of us not so much.

I contacted the marketing company. I was told 1,000 texts were sent in error. If you have not been advised by now that you are a winner...then you are't one.
 
missmarydee - that truly stinks!

btw - since you did not win, your thread has to be moved - admin prefers only winning threads/posts in Forum: Sweepstakes Winners Circle so I moved this here to the Forum: General Sweepstakes Talk

stilettogirl also posted about this in Forum General Forums Gripe/Vent ;

Anyone else get excited this morning by a text from MikesATV sweeps and think they won only to get a text an hour later saying disregard?
ugh! With a few 'false wins' under my belt you would think i'd know better than to get excited until something is in my hot little hands but no.....

Hello. I know things can happen because of the electronic world we live in but I received a text thinking I was a winner for an ATV. I sent my info to the email and was told I would have a response in a day or 2. Then I get a text later saying to disregard it. Now my info is out there to you all so I'm a little disappointed this happened.

Mike's Hard Lemonade Hi Jenny. Unfortunately, the promo system used to conduct our Mike’s Mini ATV Giveaway Sweepstakes (which was offered May 7 - July 5; Official Rules: HP2Win Contests) experienced a glitch yesterday and erroneously sent text messages to a number of Sweepstakes entrants requesting personal information, even though they were, in fact, NOT selected in the random drawing as potential winners of the mini-ATV prize. And, an additional text message was thereafter sent by Mike's in an effort to alert affected persons to this error. We apologize for any confusion the pair of text messages may have caused as to your participation in the Sweepstakes as well as for any inconvenience. Please be assured that the Sweepstakes was a legitimate and bona fide promotional program sponsored by Mike's and that your personal information was not ayt any time compromised in any manner. We hope that this does not leave a sour taste in your mouth and that you continue to enjoy the happy times that Mike’s strives to provide!

I wanted to be mad at them but seems like a decent response, mistakes do happen. Doubt Mike's will be using that company for any further marketing sweepstakes.

Keep on sweeping folks!
 
My family and I all got the texts. So I knew right away something was amiss. Another forum I am on had about 4 actual winners. They received phone calls.
