Question to winners of Mt. Dew Xbox 360
How long did it take for your confirmation to show in account history and for an email? It has been 72 hours since my win. The lady at pepsi says my account history should have been updated. I am just curious if she knows what she is talking about or she just knows the rules. My initials and city definitly match and there were not all that many entrants. GOD the suspense is killing me.

If it helps, I know they were not updating on time because they had a lot of cheaters to weed out and were verifying all codes. Making sure you didn't send em all to yourself. Im sure you will be fine, but keep an eye on it and keep making phone calls...squeeky wheel gets the grease!

Won on the 8/30, received email and notification in my account history on 9/2 so it was right at 72hours, give or take a little.
I would venture to say that 1) it was not you that won OR 2) they are investigating your entry a little more before notification.
Wish you luck!!

don't judge my path if you haven't walked my journey

Probably 72 hours excluding weekends and holidays. You should hear something within a couple of days.

Hmmm... Wonder if they will be re-drawing winners for any "questionable win" drawings??? There may still be hope! *wink*

this is funny because me and my mother were discussing this and i completely forgot that there was a holiday... or that holidays would have any affect on sweepstakes. we were also talking about how they should redraw the sweeps where cheating was discovered and award points back to the consumers in this sweep. if you ask me i think that this type of sweep is a very good marketing tool. if i didn't win i would make the extra effort to buy pepsi over coke products when coke is my first choice.



off topic below


i went to jewel today with a handful of coupons. bought 40 frozen pizza's (coupons for these) and 25 dollars in groceries ... my total was $4.90
