If you read Cassandra’s blog, you may have seen her post a few months ago about entering sweepstakes. When she finds a sweepstakes that may also be of interest to me, she shares the link. While the odds are better than winning the lottery, I never really expect to win something. So it was a pleasant surprise about a month ago to open an email saying I was a potential winner for one of the sweepstakes I had entered.
To be clear, legitimate “you won something” messages are entirely different from spam versions. The sweepstakes I had entered and the specific prize were mentioned in the email, along with detailed instructions for claiming the prize and the deadline for doing so. Presumably because there was a minimum age for entering the sweepstakes, a copy of my ID was required along with an affidavit.
Given the title of this post, you can guess what part of the prize was… dice! These are described as a “branded set of 7 liquid core RPG dice”… pretty cool looking, aren’t they? So far, the d20 has been rolling pretty well for me on this year’s Quest Calendar.
But that’s not all! The prize package also included a “branded dragon claw shaped wine stopper” and a (not pictured, cause I couldn’t get a good photo) “branded wine tote”.
How’s that for a random prize package that’s totally appropriate for me?
