I just got a Sutter Home label corkscrew from USPS. I assume this is from the "Simply Whites" sweeps that ended June 30, but it wasn't listed as a possible prize:
PRIZE(S)
Ten (10) First Prize winners will receive a Bose Wave Music System Alarm Clock with CD player, valued at approximately $500.00 each; Twenty (20) Second Prize winners will receive a Kitchen Aid Professional Series Mixer, valued at approximately $330.00 each; Ten (10) Third Prize winners will receive a White leather designer handbag, valued at approximately $250.00 each; Ten (10) Fourth Prize winners will receive an Apple iPod, valued at approximately $250.00 each; Ten (10) Fifth Prize winners will receive an Apple iPod dock with speaker and clock system, valued at approximately $150.00 each; Ten (10) Sixth Prize winners will receive a white leather designer womens wallet, valued at approximately $60.00 each; One hundred (100) Runner-up Prize winners will receive a portable MPS speaker set, valued at approximately $20.00 each. Approximate retail value of all prizes awarded is $20,700. Winners will be selected from among all eligible entries received in a random drawing on or about July 15, 2007. The drawing will be conducted by an independent judging organization. Odds of winning any of the prizes are determined by the number of eligible entries received. Although participants may enter multiple times (see ENTRIES), winners may receive only one prize in each prize category. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute comparable prizes of equal or higher value. No cash substitute of the prizes will be awarded.
Can't figure if this a substitute for one of the 100 "runner-up" prizes or something totally different. Not to gripe about a free corkscrew, but I don't think it's worth $20. There was no letter included with the corkscrew, but it does have "Sutter Home" printed on it, so good advertisement for them in any case. Maybe just a freebie for entering.
