There are a lot of winners.  I would say that 99% are from the west coast, primarily CA and AZ.  If you entered this contest, I can check for your name.

I remember that one! It was a snail mail that ended December 25, 2007. I sent in lots of entries. Are they just now naming the winners? It had several different participating divisions mostly on the west coast as it was run thru the Safeway Store.

  Thanks for checking! Darn, I was hoping to get something as there were so many prizes. Oh well, better luck next time I guess!

I didn't see any of the names you listed. 

I called Don Jagoda and asked about this promotion.  The winners were randomly selected by computer.  They received 68,000 snail mail entries and they were all keyed into the computer.  However, all entries aren't treated equally.  They predetermine how many they are going to select from automatic entries and alternate entries. For example, if there are 1000 prizes they may take 900 from the automatic entry (purchase, online, etc.) and 100 from alternate entries.  It could be even less than that. If I see Don J. as a judging agency, I may not send in as many alternate entries.

I know I'm new here but would you please check for me, too?  It's wonderful of you to do this for everyone and I really appreciate it.  I have only ever entered a few mail-ins because I never seem to win them.  I thank the poster for the info about Don J., as well...I know now not to waste my postage/time on those.

Were there any winners in Illinois?  Specifically either Bensenville or Chicago ( I also moved. )

Thank you so very much.

WINNERS:  Kenneth Staub-Chicago; Geri L Benson-Bensenville $100 Gift Card

I'm going to call Don J. again because I thought all entries were supposed to be treated equally.  Thus, the "no purchase required" to be able to enter.  One sweeper seems to think that some judging agencies are using inexperienced people to handle the sweeps. I'll keep everyone posted.  By the way, they are still working on the Reward Yourself with Ranchers Reserves sweeps that ended in Feb/Mar.
