I won 2nd place in when words count retreat B and B in Vermont. I researched it to see if it is a scam. Has anyone else gotten a email?

Make sure you read the rules:
Holiday Sweepstakes | When Words Count Retreat
http://whenwordscountretreat.com/wp...L-Official-Rules-HOLIDAY-SWEEPSTAKES_2013.pdf
7. ROOM AVAILABILITY: Room reservations may be secured on a first-come, first-served basis by any verified winner who has submitted a completed, signed Declaration of Compliance (Consisting of an Affidavit of Eligibility and a Publicity Release form.)
To reserve a Grand Prize Room on the date preferred, the winner must provide the Sponsor with a valid, credit card number and authorize the Sponsor to either charge the card for an amount equal to two night's meal service for one (the winner) at $110.00 or two nights meal service for two (the winner and one guest) at a cost of $220.00.
Should the winner fail to arrive at the retreat on his or her designated arrival date, the $110 per person meal deposit shall be treated as a non-refundable deposit to partially offset the cost for the unused food and to compensate the Sponsor for the lost use of the room – as well as for preventing the Sponsor from assigning the room to an alternate winner. The winner may still arrive the following day and enjoy the remaining portion of his Grand Prize offering.
Upon arrival, winners will be charged for the third night of meal service, including VT's 9% sales tax and a 17% gratuity on meal service as well as an $85 programming and service fee to cover housekeeping services and coach staffing for two evening hash sessions. (No VT tax will be applied to the three free nights of accommodations.) Any sweepstakes winner who fails to show up for his or her reserved prize date will forfeit the prize, but When Words Count Retreat will issue the winner a credit equal to the full amount of the non-refundable deposit. The winner will have one year from the date of forfeiture to use the credit toward another visit to the retreat.)
