NRA-ILA GUN GIVEAWAY SWEEPSTAKES
« on: January 07, 2014, 04:49:29 PM »
Well, I got the latest NRA-ILA gun giveaway sweepstakes in the mail today. Lots of goodies available. My question is, and I'm sure a question a lot of you have is, why don't they ever send a winners list. I have entered these for years and don't know of one person that ever won anything. Has anyone ever heard of a winner? Is there a winner list publisized?
The latest "contest" "theSix-Shooter NRA Sweepstake" just arrived. I also have 2 others. One called "Final Call" ended 12/31/2013, but I don't have a date the winners will be notified by. The other is called "Winner Takes All" and I believe is an older one. I have no idea when the drawing was to be or who if anybody won anything.
I am beginning to believe these sweepstakes are a lot like Publisher's Clearinghouse, no body every heard of a winner there either.
If the NRA-ILA want people to enter and of course give them money(which is the purpose) why don't they publish a list of winners like other contest. I'm sure this causes a lot of us to throw these contest in the trash and not send money either. Frustrating isn't it?

I have thrown my away but if I'm not mistaken if you read the fine print it states....if you would like a list of the winners send a self addressed prepaid envelope requesting the names of the winners. Years ago I sent one to Publisher's Clearinghouse requesting the names of the winners and NEVER received a reply. IF I won that many guns I don't want anyone knowing my name.
