Voom Trick or Treat Sweepstake

[Sean Mota]

The scary residents from MONSTERS HD have escaped and are terrorizing the site. When you see the spooky symbol, click on it to see if you get a trick or a treat for your chance to enter the sweepstakes and win the ultimate Halloween treat from VOOM, Sharp's newest Aquos 45" LCD HDTV (the highest resolution HDTV available), VOOM (the highest quality HDTV satellite delivery system available), and one year of VOOM's Va Va VOOM programming service (the most HD available).
The sweepstakes ends at 11:59PM EST on 10/31/04. Enter as many times as you like to increase your chances of winning. You must be at least eighteen years of age to participate in the sweepstakes. Residents of Florida, New York and Rhode Island are not eligible to enter.

What's up with Residents of Florida, New York and Rhode Island????

That doesn't seem fair, is that where they have the most customers

Must be something else. It doesn't seem that you even need to be a customer. Although Florida has been shafted, my brother in CT isnt

lol, the rules are actually A LOT more than what's on that page

My odds of winning the 45' LCD or a year of VOOM has to be a million times better than hitting the lottery. Go Free Stuff!

So far I've place 6 entries, it's really hard to get a Treat from Voom (unless I turn on my TV).

Tip, for today, Wednesday, the ghosts are hanging out at:

Click the See IT tab then Programming, they are on every category except VaVaVoom.

OK, they're also under the Equipment and Why Voom tabs.

Well I know the entry page to enter, but that might get you disqualified...

Does DarrellP's avatar count? Oh- you mean on the Voom site.

riff--good luck if you win a 45 foot LCD. You'll have to live in a football stadium.

I just hope I'm not responsible for shipping and installation charges. I wonder if I'll see mosquito noise?

Given how much of a PITA it is to find the "treats", I wonder just how many entries they will actually receive.

It's weird, I had about 9 entries over a one week period, then Friday morning I hit about 12 more. I don't know if they loosened up as we get closer to halloween or not, but I struck Gold. I now have about 2 dozen entries, so I hope my odds are pretty good.

Its a way so the Voom website gets lots of hits to it.

Did I win??

When will they tell me how to get my new HD tv? I must have won.

Too late, I won.

YOU WISH!! I entered 48,297 times. Voom has 25,000 subs. You do the math

Would you guys stop your whining already? I just received confirmation of shipping, I should have it by this weekend. I'll let ya'll know how nice it looks.

VOOM never does anything that fast so I know they are just holding onto my entry to surprise me any minute. But don't worry....I will let you all know when I get that confirming email or phone call.

Voom not FAST? WTF are you talking about? To my amazement, the TV showed up on my doorstep last night as I was pulling into my driveway. I must say, it is a rather amazing looking TV. Anyone want to come over and see it?

 

[Bear]

Nah, mine arrived today (who'd've thought Voom would spring for Satruday delivery...). And here I was thinking that I'd have to wait until the 10th to get it!

(If you had less than 100 entries, I don't think you were statistically even in the running... )

Moov is AWESOME @ 1080p!

 

[hdtvtechno]

well well well
who can't say, that there can't be more then one winner.

 

[The Stone Man]

Guess how long it has been since anyone posted in this thread?

Yup--two weeks.

Did somebody actually win this, or are we the victims of a clever marketing ploy to give up our e-mail addresses while chasing ghosts and goblins around the Voom website? Inquiring minds want to know.
