I have never sent for AEOM sweeps/second chance entries. Are they really worth it??

I received an instant win message that said upon verification yet haven’t gotten on email. Has anyone else had this issue?

Anybody know where to purchase the candy with this sweepstakes on it? I have purchased 2 bags and none had the code in them. I cannot find this sweepstakes on any of the candy.
