So this is making me angry. A lot of contests exclude California, noticing a trend that they are alcohol related. But why this one? It is just food and wine, California is BIG on wine…Im not even a resident of California, my hubby is military and I just so happend to be stuck here, not able enter the good contests. 🙁
DOes anyone know why California is excluded? State law? thanks
Read about it here Kelly, but it might change soon

California’s are not allowed to enter sweeps that are sponsored by beer and wines companies. Not sure why this one is excluding CA. However, resently the CA govenor signed a bill okaying sweeps sponsored by the beer/wine industry. The new law will take effect in Jan. 2013!!!

said sorry you didnt win before i ever had a chance to hit play!
I just won a $20 Gift Card! Thank You Sweetie!
Just curious if anyone has received their instant win on this one yet? I know it said after the promotion was over, but can’t remember how long, I think it was 8 to 10 weeks. I have won from other sweeps and they have said the same thing, but have received them earlier. I won the first prize and it sure would be nice to get it before Christmas. 🙂
