I was a weekly winner from the quick and simple magazine and it said i was one of 50 winners for a baby tee from clotheslinecandy.com .I received a gift certificate for $10.00 but most everything is 19.00. Do you guys think this was a mistake or the prize. I tried going back to see what it was but all the site at quick and simple says is a baby tee doesnt even show the retail value.Well anyways i emailed quick and simple maybe they might email me back saying it was a mistake. Personally i am very far from being wealthy to be able to purchase a baby tshirt for $19.00 my kids get their clothes from walmart lol. It would have been awesome to win something from the pricey store but i certainly wouldnt run out and buy it.

Alot of companies will "give" you a prize knowing that you will have to spend something to be able to use it.  If it has a date when it expires then you might not be able to ~ but see if they have 1/2 price sales and maybe you can get one then! 

Good luck ~ I know how crazy this seems, but it happens a lot.  I would come a lot closer to buying something from a company where I had gotten a legit win, but some companies don't understand this concept yet.
