I won the Daily Lottery, back in August, from V4L and never received $80+ prize.

I'll never go there again!!!

:)

I've often wondered if anyone else has had that happen...

I 'won' a $25 GC from V4L (from the same guy that runs the daily lottery). Never got mine either. I did however win a kit (and got it) from the other guy that runs contests at V4L.

Ok, what's up with that, did you contact them on this?
I've played off & on with theirs, that's not right & they should have taken care of these...............

OK Rip here it comes...............

So ripple my grampa has dementia and I am his caregiver. I understand sometimes that things might not make complete sense BUT Why does he keep hiding the milk? He wonders why I will not give him a whole gallon. Today I found the milk under the bathroom sink......I just don't get it.....I would expect to find it somewhere in the kitchen....but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO He had quite a pile of stuff under there....Thanks for letting me vent ripple. Love the guy but its a trip sometimes. :)

It's a guy thing... It has to do with breasts... You just would not understand, being a girl and all. :)


Edit - I hope when I get to his age I can still hide the milk!!!

Someone should rig a contest so ripple wins...and another so I win :D everyone ends up happy lol

Actually, its been done -- oh crap, who did it, it was a ontest only I could win and I sill almost screwed it up, SK was laughing so hard......:confused:

And don't you remember AVEjuice's movie contests? I guessed Ruthless People no matter the picture for my first guess in the first 13-14 contests. Mrs. Porphy then made it the movie for the nexrt contest - -and I guessed wrong!!!!8-o8-o8-o, I got it right with my second guess but it was all ISBN could do not to come through the web and hit me upside my head!!! LMAO!!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Sure did!!! I still have the rude PMs that were with "chadley"...

WTH? I spent HOURS last night trying to win a v4l contest and even IF random.org decided to quit hating me I wouldn't have actually received anything? That's NOT right! My suggestion for anyone who had an issue like this to contact an ECF mod and let them know. I know they keep track of things like this and if it's a problem they can (& have) ban a supplier. Normally if they threaten the supplier things have a way of miraculously being fixed quick!

I finally won a mod this month: A shiny new copper! I was floored! I wanted one since it was Just atmosusa and not vapor alley!

Ripp Krispies are up next for a mod win.

I feel for ya Krispers, I have won a few prizes that never materialized...but oh well, Not as burning as paying for something and get crap or nothing at all. They gave you the greatest of all gifts: Hope :glare:

Yeah I can understand if joose or something small, but a full mod is what still brings me down especially when I enter into another contest hoping to win a replacement and fail :p

Hopefully you let the MOD's know about it...I know there is some repeat offenders, some which are gone now. That really, really sucks, but hopefully it will come back around to you from someone better.

In some really great books I have (by Terry Pratchett) the ruler is known to lock people in a cell that contains, say, a rusty hacksaw blade or a loose stone and a spoon. In one case there was a floor grate just big enough to fit through....but it went down to an identical cell. There was always a second set of bars on the windows, or another stone behind the loose one. Thus giving the "greatest of all treasures, hope". There very rarely is a "Mod" at the end of the rainbow but isn't running for it most of the fun?

That is, to me, what these things are. Sometimes you find a new spoon, but most of the time, the only thing you get is hope.
