Mine was a surprise too! It was a glass tumbler with a curse word on it! I checked the prize list and didn't see that one on there, maybe it was a substitute for the mug.
Congrats! I won this one as well, and at the time at least they had a deal where they sent you another $40 of shopping cash after your first order. Definitely check to see if they still offer that so you can order soon and get it if available!
You can print out proof that it sells for less than the ARV and make a case to the IRS if audited - I think I did this with a trip I won years ago and the lower "real" value was accepted.
It has been a deluge in the last few minutes - I got a notice that I had won something in the Pepsi instant *though I don't think I won when playing* - never had a winner screen on any of those. I redeemed it successfully though - am worried there was a glitch so if anyone else had the same...
I thought I had won maybe the sweatshirt prize so was shocked to see it was one of the 50 $500 prizes, so great! I can't seem to win any of the football tickets sweeps so will put the cash towards a game.
So happy you enjoyed it! I was in Dollywood of all places and could not make it. It is super helpful to have someone nearby for these kind of tickets. The local radio contests area always good for free concerts, movies, etc.
I know! I worked hard to win the move the bat through the maze game but then when I got to the end it was for nothing. Bah! Congrats on the win though.
