I don't think I would enter many contests where you have to return and check to see the winner's name/respond, but since I came across this one, I'm posting it in case a SA member is the lucky monthly winner of $50 worth of snacks:

"If you see your name listed below,
email winner4@snack-o-rama.com (within 30 days)
for instructions on claiming your prize.
 
Winner
February    2009
   
Toni Wilson  Cannelton, IN"

 

I know exactly what you mean! If lots of people think like we do, then the ones who enter have less competition...they just have to remember to check back to see if they won.
