Got an email from "Count-down Marketplace" in regards to the "Treasures are yours contest".
It didn't exactly tell me what I won, but wanted me to fill out an affi.

It said I could win $1000.-- or $50.00 or $25.00 credit....

I tell ya' I really could use 1K right now.... I need a better vehicle.
Here's hoping, I will let you know.

It was open to CA and USA, and I assume the math question was for CA...seems like they wish to get your entry verified for possible prize award?

I'm used to math questions being asked for CA, but I live in TN - USA. I guess we will see what happens, glad it is legit - I really got "not good" vibes from the email.

I remember signing up, which is not usual, but I think I had an issue with the initial sign up so it left an impression. Either way, good luck to you! I got laid off and my car was totaled right before, so ANY win (even potential) is a bit of a mood enhancer at this point!

Good luck!!
