A WIN - BUT WHAT?

Just received an affivadit stating my husband won a prize in the People Magazine "Live the Dream" sweepstakes. It does NOT state what the prize is. It states to have it notarized and returned within 14 days. I hate the thought of paying for a notary and then ending up with a prize less than the cost of the notary, unfortunately it has happened before. Anyone know anything about this contest or has anyone else won it? If so, please advise. Many thanks. Happy Sweeping everyone, Good Luck to you. Thanks SA, you're the best.
 
congrats. :cheers: from the rules.

Prizes/Approximate Retail Values ("ARV"): Three (3) Monthly Prizes (one prize awarded per Monthly Drawing): three (3) days/two (2) nights trip for two (2) to a PEOPLE Hot Spot and VIP treatment. The trip will be to one of the following locations: New York City, NY; Las Vegas, NV, or Los Angeles, CA. The location will be selected solely by Sponsors at the time the prize is awarded. Trip includes: round-trip coach airfare and a two (2) night stay for each winner (each a “Winner”) and one (1) guest at a luxury hotel. Prize may include: one (1) dinner for two at a restaurant selected by Sponsors, entrance to a club selected by Sponsors, car service to and from the club, and spa treatment for Winner and guest. Alcoholic beverages will not be included in the dinner portion of the prize. (ARV: $5,000.00 per prize). Actual value depends on location of Winner and fares at time of departure but not to exceed $5,000.00 If actual value of the trip is lower than ARV, the difference will not be awarded. Round-trip coach-class airfare is from/to a major commercial airport nearest Winner’s primary residence (to be determined by Sponsors) to the location selected by Sponsors. Ground transportation will replace airfare if any Winner resides in or within 100 miles radius of location. Selection of hotel will be at the sole and absolute discretion of Sponsors. All meals, ground transportation, taxes, gratuities, incidentals, service charges or other expenses not specified herein are not included and are the Winners’ sole responsibility. All trips must be taken by 12/31/08. Travel arrangements must be made through Sponsors’ designated agent. Travel subject to availability and certain blackout dates and restrictions may apply. If, for any reason whatsoever, any Winner (or its guest) cannot travel after all travel arrangements are made and paid, then the Sponsors shall have no further obligation to the Winner and/or guest. If any prize is forfeited prior to Sponsors finalizing and paying for travel, the forfeited prize will be awarded to an alternate winner in a separate random drawing from among all non-winning eligible entries for the given Monthly Drawing. Winners and their guests must travel together on the same itinerary including same departure and return dates and are solely responsible for obtaining the proper travel documentation (e.g., valid photo ID) prior to travel. Winners’ guests will be required to complete and return a Liability/Publicity Release prior to travel. A parent or legal guardian must accompany a traveling minor. Odds of winning depend on number of eligible entries received per month, estimated at 1:70,000.
 
Congrates on your win. You might check at your bank to see if they have a notary. Most have one on staff and if you bank with them, there is usually no fee or a smaller fee for their clients. Congrates again and Happy Sweeping!
 
Congratulations on your win! I don't know where you live, but I usually go to a title company for notary service and the most I've ever paid is $2. Usually they do it for free. Hope the win is for a trip and you have a blast! :thewave:
