s In my experience (I of course didn't close out early) they sent me an email that I won right after it told me I won. I would imagine if you "won" and didn't know it you would get an email stating that you won, saving you from your F up. However you can't glitch it into winning by closing the window before you select all 3 boxes....
On a side-note I finally sent my winning form in a couple of days ago. I figure the mess on the east coast should be in a decent state by now.
Time to patiently wait...

Anyone know what kind of confirmations they might send out? Possibly a shipment notification to the email listed on the winning account? Or will the system just magically appear on my doorstep at random? (Maybe someone that won the Xbox 360 promotion previously might have some experience)[/QUOTE]
My experience winning this time was that I got all three stars right away and then the winning screen appeared. I did have trouble in IE getting the link for the prize claim form to open and I had to copy that link into Firefox. Once I did that the page recognized that I had won and immediately opened up the Claim form. So I'm guessing that even if you had closed the window before completing the game it would recognize that you won. I also did receive a confirmation email that I had won about 1/2 hr later.
As far as confirmations being sent out, I was lucky to have won a 360 from the previous contest and they did not send out any and it just showed up on my doorstep. I don't remember the time frame but I remember receiving it a couple of weeks before Christmas. Also, I only used one email in both contests and tried to play at odd times of the day to increase my chances of winning. Good Luck to all you fellow CAGs trying to win. Stay positive!
