I am going put this in a win column for me, but it may not be considered a win in this forum. If not, can the moderator move this the appropriate forum. Here is the circumstances of my win:
Yesterday, May 29th I received four phone calls from Nashville, TN area code according to my caller id. My wife and I were out of town yesterday.
We arrived back home late in the evening and we received no more calls. I googled the phone number it appeared to me the call was coming from a PBX exchange within CMT (County Music Television). Prior to retiring for bed around 1135pm I called the number out of curiosity and it went to a females voice mail by the name of Jordan, but did not identify working for CMT. I did not leave a message.
Since, we do not have a phone installed in our bedroom, I took my portable phone into the bedroom, just in case I got an early call in the morning.
Sure enough at 07:29CT my phone rang and I picked it up, but no one was on the other end. So I called the number back and this time she hung up on me. I was just about to call back again, when my phone rang again. This time we connect and she apologized for calling so early because she forgot about the time difference between Nashville and where we live and then she identified herself as Jordan from CMT and was calling to notify me of my win for "The Ultimate Country Music Experience" Sweepstakes.

She went through with me what I had won and asked if I would be able to make the trip on June 5 thru June11. I had to stammer a bit because yesterday I just finished using up my scheduled vacation week. I asked her if I could bring my wife on the line to go through the prize again and she said 'Yes' and went thru the prize again with my wife and I. My wife just looked at me and said we could not do it because we just used up our scheduled vacation week. Due to the "availability policy" that the company we work for, it was just not feasible for us to accept this prize. Had she called us two weeks ago we would have been able to adjust our weeks vacation around the sweepstakes rules and accept this prize.
I only entered this sweepstakes once, then read the rules and decide not to enter anymore because of the strict rules. Goes to show you, you can enter a multiple entry sweepstakes just once and still win.
I can only hope another SA member was called in my place for this great prize.

PS...Value of this prize was $2872.00.
