Free PS2 game from Kellogg's?
 
http://eetandern.yahoo.com/eetandern/static/index.html

I don't know if anyone has posted anything about this. I searched and didn't see anything about it, which is surprising because this forum is swarming with coupons and whatnot.

But if you eat any Kellogg's stuff, there's supposed to be a code inside of the box. You type in that number in the site mentioned above and you supposedly have a very good chance to win a random game. They pick a winner every 60 seconds. You can read more about it at the site.

If anyone has some codes for this, please post them.

I just noticed today is supposed to be the last day for it too :(

Oh well. Maybe someone here will get lucky and win.

Oh, and here's the page to check if you've won.

Jadakiss 05-19-02 08:08 PM

Wow. About 5 minutes after putting in most of those codes, I won. Now let's see if they actually come through and send me the game.

There's a winner every 30 seconds now, so keep trying people.

Absolute Zero 05-19-02 09:27 PM

It says "Congratulations to all POTENTIAL winners" at the top of the page that lists all the names and cities. I don't think it means you actually won.

wiilll 05-19-02 09:51 PM

yay! i won too :) thx for the list of codes man

-do you know when they email you that you won ?

I remember reading somewhere in the legal notices that there are 5,760 games for prizes. There are 1,440 minutes per day, with up to 2,880 winners on the last 2 days since it's a winner every 30 seconds. So potentially there are 25,920 winners during the 16-day promotional period.

I guess everybody that made the list has about 22 to 25% chance of winning a game. The acutal odds of winning should be better because sometimes there isn't a winner selected during every single minute in this period of time. We shall see, I guess.

Actually, here is the post from their legal site:

PRIZES/APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE (ARV): (17,280) "One Every 60 Seconds" Prizes (Prizes will be awarded approximately once every 60 seconds between 5/4/2002 at 12:00:00 A.M. (EST) through 5/17/02 at 11:59:00 P.M. (EST)) - A PlayStation®2 Game (exact game to be determined by the sponsor) ARV $50.00 ea. (5,760) Ultimate Blowout Prizes (Prizes will be awarded approximately every 30 seconds between 5/18/02 at 12:00:00 A.M. (EST) through 5/19/2002 at 11:59:59 P.M. (EST) - A PlayStation®2 Game (exact game to be determined by the sponsor) ARV $50.00 ea. Limit one prize per Yahoo! ID and email address - limit two prizes per household/address. Prizes consist of only those items specifically listed as part of the prize. Odds of winning depend on number of valid entries submitted during the course of the promotion.

Looks like their math still only covers 12 days instead of the full 14 days, but given the number of times that there were "no entries received" I think that everyone that won stands a good chance of getting a game. (23,040 prizes)

I just received an e-mail from epiinc.com stating that I'd won, but I received it at my roadrunner account, not my yahoo account. Is this a valid e-mail or is some SPAMmer trying to snag my information?

Check your Yahoo Account info. Do you have your Roadrunner account listed as the primary email address? That is what they send it to.

Yep, they sent it to my AOL account. Very cool! It says in the e-mail that you can't specify game, but I'm not going to argue with them, I'm trading it in a Wal-mart for a GameCube game anyway. :D

Absolute Zero 05-21-02 06:18 PM

Oh how I love free games....and I didn't even use any of the codes that were posted.

maninthebox 06-28-02 11:04 PM

Kellogg's came through. Got a free copy of GT3 in the mail today. Now we'll see if my wife gets hers and if it turns out to be the same game.

Goblincat 07-16-02 08:14 AM

Did anyone else get theirs yet? I haven't. :(

Lampei 07-16-02 08:28 AM

Still waiting for mine also.

~~ PAL ~~ 07-16-02 02:26 PM

Still waiting.... :(

enthused 07-16-02 03:19 PM

wow i almost signed up for this, then realized it was from 2 months ago...

where 07-16-02 05:45 PM

I got mine about a week ago

GT3 for me, too.

andyanddebbie 07-16-02 07:52 PM

Waiting.. Waiting.. Waiting

I wonder if there's any kind of a list of winners?

Cory02 07-17-02 03:21 PM

I just got World Tour Soccer 2002 in the mail today.

Souljahh 07-17-02 03:42 PM

whew, that gives me hope. I thought they were all done sending them out.

jackepstein 07-18-02 10:53 AM

Score!

Got World Tour 2002 Soccer today in the mail.
Keep your eyes our people.

Jadakiss 07-20-02 10:11 AM

I got World Tour Soccer in the mail today. Wal-Mart, here I come.

andyanddebbie 07-20-02 04:19 PM

Got PaRappa The Rapper 2 today!!

Not bad! Love that comic mischief.


Darn, from reading the reviews on Amazon it appears to do sucking, so guess I'm in for a trip to Wal-Mart too.

Outlaw 07-20-02 11:56 PM

awww man! I knew I should have went for this, I didn't because I didn't expect anyone to get anything (which almost always happened to me in the "Will Click for DVD" forum back in the day). Free is always good.
