Yay... finally got 1 win after 21 codes!! I was beginning to think those of you with 100 free 2 Liters were hogging the winners.

thanks to the OP for the thread.. I would never have found out about ths otherwise.

Raul3 02-28-06 06:52 PM

best deal ever.

I won 2 times today. I should have enough coca-cola for this summer by March 15 :p

princessducky 02-28-06 11:10 PM

Yeah, I finally won after 15 codes.

Daniel-A 03-01-06 12:11 AM

If you're really trying for free cokes, it isn't 24hours. I've managed to get a new set of codes after 12-16 hours more than 3 times in a row now. May be a glitch, may be a YMMV, but it worked for me.

I don't really like coke.

Daniel-A 03-01-06 12:28 AM

And my odds are craptacular. I counted (correct me if I am wrong) 82 events in which medals were handed out, and 21 that the US medaled in. So one should on average get a winner 25.6% of the time. And as of now I am 3 for 20 @ 15%

Buford T Pusser 03-01-06 12:38 AM

I just won another. So I've had two wins and 13 losses.

ronconherr 03-01-06 02:33 AM

Since I've started, 1 out of the 3 free codes per day has been a winner.

SunMonkey 03-01-06 05:47 AM

6 for 15 here. :)

But can you enter them all? That's the real issue.

6pm EST seems about right for when I've been allowed to enter - I thought it was just due to when I started, but it makes much more sense for it to be a general thing.

The US received 25 medals in 20 events so you are doing slightly better than you thought :). I have only one more event that I can get a code for, but will continue to enter for a chance at the trip (of course, I should have kept the deal to myself if I really wanted a better shot at it).

Edited to add - You are correct, it is 21. I guess I have 2 events to get now :).

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure the real issue is getting codes, not entering them. The last sets of emails I've gotten have been 2/28 11:37pm---2/28 9:31am---2/27 7:49pm---2/26 10:19pm---2/26 2:07am

I'm guessing some time zone difference may account for an extra 1, but there was an extra 2.

princessducky 03-01-06 12:23 PM

I think you can only enter 3 codes a day!

Ginwen 03-01-06 01:08 PM

I finally did this today. 2 of 3 were winners.

DJ_Longfellow 03-01-06 01:19 PM

0-3 again today. I only won once in 9 tries. Oh well....maybe tomorrow.

Raul3 03-01-06 06:56 PM

I already have 5 wins. In just 3 days!

Daniel-A 03-02-06 02:17 AM

Went 3 for 3 (Men's Curling, Women's Hockey, Women's Figure Skating) bringing me closer to normal.

DJ_Longfellow 03-02-06 06:38 AM

Sheesh, I must get the crap codes. Another 0-3. Brings me to 1-12. I think I even won on the first code....

Chew 03-02-06 06:40 AM

2/6 so far. One a day for the rest of the contest period works fine for me. :)

crazyronin 03-02-06 02:50 PM

I just wone 5 on my second code...:banana:

...why didn't I start earlier?:brickwl2:

DJ_Longfellow 03-03-06 12:41 PM

1 for 3 today....up to 2 wins now!

honking 03-03-06 04:22 PM

2 for 3 here!! Same event on the win!!

Buford T Pusser 03-03-06 06:40 PM

Just got 1 out of 3. I was 0-3 or 6 lately.

beatccr 03-03-06 07:09 PM

Hope you read their policy before doing it. If I were them I would've made sure to have some sort of one account per household stipulation in there.
