Did anyone win the Xbox every 10 mins thing? If so post here, because I would like to see the amount of people from these boards that get one. I so far havent won one yet but I am trying ( Ive only done three entries though).

Which one do you win anyway? do you win the core or the premium? It doesnt say anywhere.

yes its just for north america, not canada or anywhere else.

I was just wondering if anyone had won over the last couple of days. It looks like its going to be pretty hard to win. More harder than what I had thought. Every one that I have entered had at least 500 people in it already and I was only entering like one or two codes. So well see how it goes.

One of the guys I thread with over at consolegold.com just won one. And he gets it the weekend before the rest of us who are buying one do. Very cool indeed. Can't hurt to go buy a bottle of Mtn Dew and enter I guess.

yeah i think it's smarter to use them all on one or two drawings....since what i did was spread out all 6 of my points across like 5 or 6 drawings, and didn't win :cry:

These are the official rules. Under 2B, it says you can send a self addressed, stamped envelope to get a "Target Sticker" that has 3 codes. And it doesn't give you a limit as to how many times you can do it, just one request per envelope. So basically you can by a Pepsi for a dollar and get one code, or get two stamps (74 cents total) and two envelopes to get three codes. :hump: Just don't enter my contest, promise?

"This is the BEST day of my LIFE!"

Quote from the Xbox 360 Every 10 Minutes Sweepstake

I said those exact words yesterday when I found out that I won an Xbox 360. Yeah Baby! You don't even know how happen I am. Out of 9,222 winners I'm one of them. Also I would like to add that the first winner was from Seatac, Wa. Guess what state I'm from? Wa. Seattle! As of today 9/5 I am the 12th winner out of 13 winners in Washington state. It's good to be from WA. I mean we have the best game dev. in the world BUNGIE!! I was surprized to find the first winner was from my state. I was even more surprized to find out that I WON AN XBOX 360 SYSTEM!

On the Winners Board I won on
9/4 SC Seattle, Wa.

The cool thing is that not only do you win the Xbox 360 you win other cool things too: a game either Need for Speed: Most Wanted or Madden 06', Mountain Dew 360 T-shirts and Hats, and two coupons for 12 pack Mountain Dew!

I was so lucky to have won. I didn't even buy a Mountain Dew pop. I received a free code in my e-mail. Is that cool or what?

P.S.

Here is the method that I used. It could work for you.
I choosed a time where it had the least amount of people (it was around 50ish). Also choose a day ahead or within a day.

I was planning on doing this (a even better strategy):
Buy 100 Mountain Dew pops and enter all 100 on one specific time like for example 100 codes for 9/6 12:00pm. So if 200 or 300 people entered for that exact time you have 50/50 or 100 out 300 chance of winning. Are those good odds or what! You might even get lucky and have 100 out of 150 (if the total amount of people entered was 150) chance of winning. The odds of you winning are great, basically the odds are in you favor you just have to have a superior strategy.

My only question is do I win the Premium System (20 gig hard drive, wireless controller, headset, media remote control, etc.) or the Core System (reg. controller and basic hook-ups)? In the official rules it says that the total prize comes to $580.00 including a game, prize in the box (t-shirts, hats, and coupons). So that makes sense if the prize was the Premium System it leaves $180.01 for the other stuff which totals to $580.00! That would be great to get the "REAL package!"

Lastly, I wish you guys good luck and enjoy the contest. I'm gonna just sit back and reap the rewards, BABY! Yeaheah!

I was Enter drawings 1 Code at a time to.But i figured out that most people are fan-natics at it & will enter 100 codes at a timeor even more.So im going to try & kill 2 birds with one stone.This is what im doing.Im building up my points so i can even alot more then just 1 code at a time & it will be about the middle of Oct b4 i begin to play.My theory is that im hopeing that most people run out of codes in the later part of the contest & ill have a better chance so you see,im killing to birds with one stone if i can.weather it pans out for me or not is yet to be seen.Ill be back here to tell ya'll what my finding is if i win.If i dont you wont see me again in this dang thread LoL.

As far as i know in what we win i belave its just a reg 360 with your choice of madden2006 or Need4Speed "Most Wanted" of course.I opted For Need4Speed Because I Have Madden 2005 & Can wait for 06.But i ain't got a good race car game,So that was an easy choice for me.

Last day of the Points for a XBox is On Oct. 31st 2005.I beleave to redeem the points for gear last longer then for the XBox but i can remember when that it.

!!!Just a Few Rules Below!!!

When does the Every 10 Minutes Promotion end?

Collect To Get Redemption: The last time/date to redeem Collect to Get gear is 11:59:59 PM ET 11/30/05.

Is one point good for both the sweepstakes entry and the Collect to Get?
Yes.

How many points can I put into each ten-minute drawing?
The maximum number of points you can put into a drawing is 500 points. Please note that 500 points is the maximum number of points allowed for the entire sweepstakes.

How many sweepstakes can I enter in one day?
You could enter up to 288 sweepstakes.

There is no limit to the number of Codes that may be entered each day, however there is a maximum of 500 Codes that can be entered for the entire promotion.

Also id like to add that They have did away with puting the peoples "Initials" with there City & State Is.I live in a very small town of 400 People so if it Says "Winfield,Texas" on that winners list Then Im Pretty sure its 99.9% chance that thats me LmAo.Yehawww Game-A-TeerS.
