Sweeps Rating: Sweeties Pick/Winnable
Tina Harris says
Do you smoke Wendy?
Sweetie says
Cigars 🙂 Mainly in the summer. It’s why they call me Sweetie. My favorites are Swisher Sweets!
Tina Harris says
No WAY!!! That is too funny! I don’t know why but I didn’t picture you as a smoker…whatever that means? and Cigars…LOL TOOO TOOO FUNNY!!
I suppose you have to smoke “something” in order to enter this?…hmmm
Sweetie says
Yeh, I’m not a smoker. Cigars are more of something to enjoy once and awhile.
Lisa San says
Kudos to you Sweetie! I enjoy Black and Mild or an occasional Prince Albert cherry! 🙂
Jamie Herda says
OMG. Their prizes never cease to amaze me!
Christie says
OK so this may be a stupid question but do you need to smoke to enter. I tried to sign-up but said I didn’t smoke and it wouldn’t let me???
Sweetie says
Correct. Marlboro is a cigarette company and they require that you are a smoker of cigarettes to register and to also enter their sweepstakes. I indicated that in my post
Todd says
Ughhh I hate this. Marlboro always has such great prizes, but they don’t let MA residents enter. Grrrr
amy says
I don’t get it… it keeps saying “Unfortunately, we’re unable to allow you access to Marlboro.com at this time.
Marlboro.com is only available to adult cigarette smokers 21 years of age or older.”
i was born in 1975!!!!
Ray says
Make sure you enter the digits correct xx/xx/xxxx January is 01/ etc.. I hate glitches myself ..grr
Jessica Marinaccio says
they have the best sweeps/contests. Last year we got a Weber Grill, the camcorder – and 2 bikes
Jamie Herda says
Ok,what am I missing,Wendy? You say it’s “LIVE”,but it doesn’t start until February 14th,right????
Sweetie says
It is definitely live because it took my entry. You have to log into your account and if it doesn’t come right up click PROMOS on the toolbar to click on it.
Jamie Herda says
I log in,click on promos and it brings me to the screen saying that it does not start till the 14th??
Michelle Jackson says
I believe it says that week 4 and 8 only have 5 winners, not 50.
Sweetie says
You are correct. I updated my rules. Thanks for noticing that
Crystal says
Wow, the site aske’s for the last four digits of your social, this maybe a silly questions but is this safe to send that information over the internet?
Shari says
Do you have to be a regular smoker, what if you only smoke once in a while? I wonder how private the information is, hopefully they do not share it with insurance companies or else you rates will go up.
Sweetie says
I don’t think they check to see how much you smoke. I really don’t know about the insurance company but I wouldn’t think they could share that information unless you gave them permission. Of course, I haven’t read their pages and pages of rules either.
Ray says
Marlboro has no way of knowing who smokes and who doesn’t. Anyone can sign up at any given time.. They make keep record of what freebie coupons you apply for under the promotions( our little gift ever so often) I would do those and give em away if you dont smoke. There may be some sort of guideline on signing up close to a promotion,I’m not sure…
Nicky says
I cant play, has anyone been able to play?
Christen Flowers says
Worked fine for me! Im excited about this one!
Amy Lestat says
After answering all the questions it will not allow me to submit the form.
Brandy Bates says
I can’t get it to submit either.
Ray says
Be careful on 1 of the true false questions…I know when I selected the correct one the little x would come off kinda quick..I think its a trick wanting some to select the other wrong answer…soon as you select the right answer(think is was the true/false answer) dont wait for it show the x,hit submit real quick..hope this helps.
greg says
looks good!
Cynthia M says
Can they LEGALLY keep me from entering because I’m not a smoker? I am waaaay past 21 years of age.
Sweetie says
I don’t think legally they can do that.
Tana says
Your answer to the first question is wrong there are only four different varieties, they have videos right on the website showing the answer. Peppermint, Amber, Spearmint and Rich
Tana says
I’m sorry I stand corrected there are six I apologize.
Eli says
Also not mentioned in the Grand Prize details is this: “Winner must agree to depart and return on dates specified by Presenter and attend the ranch location specified by Presenter. If winner cannot travel on the dates specified, trip may be forfeited… A valid, unexpired driver’s license may be required to be eligible to participate in certain activities at the Ranch.” They sent me an invitation to enter a promo currently on their site called “Team Marlboro” where you write a 150-word essay on “why keeping the West wild and free is important to you” and make a 90-sec video displaying your traits that “make you a solid contributor to keeping the West wild and free.” They have 10 projects and are looking for 100 people to do this. Prize will include a paid trip up to 7-days to a project site where you work hands-on for 8 hours a day. After the project is complete, you will get a check for $6,000. This promo started Feb. 14 and entries must be received by Mar. 9, so you can say the chances of winning are good. Sounds really cool but I’m not a smoker and I’m not sure I want to be faking it and hanging out with other smokers and get busted. I have a feeling the “Team Marlboro” thing will be filmed and the people who win the Grand Prize for the Snus Challenge is probably going to be backdrop people. Just a guess.
Melinda O says
I love Marlboro, they really do give the greatest prizes. I received a very nice canon camera 12 mega pixels from the last challenge, and an ashtray, lol. I’ve also gotten a poker chip set from them, it is also very nice. They are not cheap on their prizes. I was counting down for this one, ready to win more prizes!!! Good luck everyone!
Windygrrrl says
Anyone know when they start contacting winners from week 1?
Vicki says
They started notifying us today!
teresa says
Eli and or Wendy,
Can you supply the “Team Marlboro” info or is it only by invitation.
Thanks,
Teresa
Stephanie in WA says
It’s by invite only. If, when you log onto the Marlboro site, it takes you to a box that says, “TEAM MARLBORO JOIN NOW” then you were “invited”. You’d know if you were invited or not by that alone because it’s the default page when you log on. Plus, I got an email inviting me. Neither my sister or my mom got one, so I feel “special” – LOL! But I’m applying – it’s be a BLAST! plus I’ve heard about all the free gear they give you when you go to the Ranch, plus the check – oh yeah, count me in! I’m crossing my fingers that they’ll take me – still working on my video though. We have until March 9th to submit the video and 150 word essay.
teresa says
i think that it’s special and good luck in winning a trip to the ranch. Thanks for the reply also.
Stephanie Mitchell says
What do you put for an answer for the second week number three if it is a trick question? It says all places. Does this mean you have to check al four? If you check nothing, it won’t let you go on to the next question.
Also, Where do I get in on the video for $6000.00? I sure could use it. Broke both my ankles and just got my cast off last week. I need to make some quick money.
Sweetie says
pick any answer. None of them have to be correct anyway. I just like keeping up with them.
Renee says
I won the earbuds!!!!
Brandy says
Did you recieve an email Renee?
Renee says
Yes I got an email this afternoon!
Brandy says
Thank you for the info Renee and CONGRATULATIONS! I’m sorry, I should have congratulated you first…
James Gross says
I also won the earbuds!
Amy says
I just got an email that I won the earbuds! 🙂
Christen Flowers says
Earbuds email for me too!
