sexykarrie,

I also saw your post in Comments...

"OK so I was also told I won a cruise and I received the e-mail in my junk box but it seems a little fishy. I'm going to call the 800 number. Any one else get the same reply? The email was vary weird "


...so I looked up the Official Rules. You should always read the rules. Here's what they say:


"6. PRIZES AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUES: One (1) and only one Grand Prize of $50,000 is available to be won. Odds of winning the Grand Prize are 1:10,000,000. Except where prohibited, potential winner must sign and return within ten (10) days of attempted notification, an affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release in order to claim his/her prize. The Grand Prize will be paid in the form of a check, which shall be sent to the verified winner via certified U.S. mail within five business days of verification of the win and winner's eligibility. Unclaimed prizes will not be awarded. Non-Winner Sponsor-provided consolation offers include Free Bahamas Cruise Certificates for 2 (requiring payment of port charges and government taxes) and/or Visa gift cards limited to sponsor's availability to provide, while supplies last."


I think the key words are Non-Winner and offer. You will need details about the "offer" and if you have to pay for the "Free Bahamas Cruise" or purchase something else (like a time share, or listen to a time share sales pitch, for example) in order to get the free cruise certificates, then this is not a real win. For a real win, there are no strings attached.

While it may be disappointing, it is a way of learning. Be careful, find out more. Try doing a Google search and see if anything comes up.
 
I agree with arrtup3... if you don't have to pay anything .. then congrats, u won .... *crossing fingers for u*

I'm sure there's a catch but curious what it is. I didn't win the scratch off but they said I won a trip and have me an 888 number to call. Anyone know anything about this type of game/email?

I called on this one because I won it too. They own the cruise ship so they give away the unsold cabins in the hopes that you will enjoy yourself and come back and cruise with them again and also for work of mouth advertising to all of your friends. All you have to do is pay the port charges of 60.00 per person when you call (within 72 hours) to claim your prize and you have a year to take the cruise. They do ask that you call 60 days in advance of when you would like to cruise. You do not have to sit through a time share or anything like that because I asked. I hope this helps.
