This. They won't send a prize to you if they see you cheated. If someone's been playing for an entire hour straight then they might as well never play this contest again since even if they win, they're never getting a prize. It's already too late for you.

i've been losing a lot. my win streak died around 2000 when ign sent me all the korn cds and an autographed spawn comic

Yes, but only if I start from another box. I believe I always get a star on the first box I open.

Random question to those who have won. When you got the code that you won with, did the free code/receipt they sent you have the date you requested the code, or a past date? For example, I request a code on Nov. 20, but then the free code/receipt I got says Oct. 29.

My winner was on a past date. I won on November 24th and my receipts date I requested was for November 20th. Hope that helps.

I won on November 14th and my free code had the date of Oct. 25th. I don't think it matters but I went middle, right, left. I immediately mailed off the claim form and am now waiting patiently while they go thru the verification process. Good luck to everyone!!

So you haven't heard anything in the two weeks since mailing off the form? I know in the rules it says "Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery".. I wonder if they'll at least drop an email to let you know you have been verified? Or email you when the Wii U has shipped? A tracking number would be nice too... hmmm..

I haven't heard anything yet. I check my email everyday hoping they will send something. The only way I "verified" that I won was trying to play again with the same email address. It says something like "You have already won a prize. Don't forget to print and mail in your verification form".

I wonder has the OP heard anything yet? I assumed he was the first one to mail his off or close to it. When I won two weeks ago, I looked at the post office website to see if the local post office had been affected by Sandy and it had not...so I think Sandy would have a minimal effect on shipping times. I just hope it arrives before Xmas!

They veified through thier facebook page they had my claim form. If you go back a couple pages there is a link to the facebook page. They said last wek they would begoin shipping in a couple weeks. and its Triz.

Same here. With 3 days left after (probably) not winning today, I think I'm losing hope. Ah well... no biggie.

Congrats once again to all the CAG's that won. Very exciting!

I'm so glad this POS contest is almost over. It's a waste of time just like every other BK contest. Too many cheaters when these game consoles are given away. Okay I'm a sore loser I admit it.

To be honest, it doesn't sound like the "cheaters" are winning at all. That's based off their comments of submitting "20+ tries a day and still not winning". I won and it was simply based on the first free-code they sent me. First try and I won.. no devious tactics or tricks. Just luck.

At least you admit you are a sore loser...

Any other winners getting antsy about getting their free Wii U? I'm looking forward to seeing my kids faces when they open it up on Christmas (assuming that they ship it out in time).
