Reader's Digest Winner! (I meant potential winner)

Today, I got an very important letter size envelope. On the envelope, it has a green tag indicating a tracking # of the envelope with the following instruction
"The contents have been sealed and dispatched under supervision to ensure compliance with all entry deadlines". It indicated it send from Montreal...

I wonder what is it. So I opened it and...

WOW, I am a $500,00.00 winner!

Wait... how come the cheaque has the word "Specimen Only".

Oh.... I am a "potential" winner to the $500,000.00.

Wait, wait, wait, there is more, I actually have three pink cheaques: a $500,000.00, a $155,000.00 and a $33,750.00 one. All stamped "Specimen Only"


Let read more...

It also has statement stating that I am invited to win the Grand Prize, the Multi-Prize Draw and Super Bonus, and I am a potential winner for the "Cash On Demand Price Draw"

Wow, sounds so exciting. Since I have nothing else to do today, I kept reading and I started reading a letter that address to me.

Quote:

"Dear Blah Blah Blah,

The fact that you are in possession of this letter is proof that your chance of becoming a prize winner could soon be 100% confirmed...


... Let me explain: over the last few weeks, our Selection and Prize Draw departments approved a list of those entitled to receive a STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT (see enclosed). After a computerized scoring process for our offer, the Blah Blah name passed through careful consideration, confidential scrutiny, and detailed analysis. Only 2% of the Alberta area residents, including you, were accorded POTENTIAL WINNERS STATUS for the unclaimed prize cash awaiting disbursement in our nationwide giveaway!

... The best way to avoid missing your chance to win a cash prize is to return your Pink Entry Cheques as soon as possible...."

OH, so that what the pink cheques for. All I have to do is send it back to them. I wonder how their computerized scoring process work. What is my chance to win where there is 2% of Alberta residents PLUS the rest of the potential winner in this NATIONWIDE giveaway!

Just for the fun,I started reading the fine print behind this nicely printed cheque.

Blah blah blah.... (reading in process)

quote from the cheque fine print:
"The contest is separate from the Sweepstakes and is presented in conjunction with various product offers sponsored by The Reader's Digest Association (Canada) Ltd. (RD). its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, and may be presented in conjunction with product offers co-sponsored by RD and other organization."

here is the important part (let me put its font that I am reading from)

"It is open to to persons who accepted a Reader's Digest Magazine Subscription and complete the Contest Entry Form, which willshortly be mailed to all "Yes" respondents."


OH, so you need to subscribe and complete the contest entry form!
