I couldn’t find the link for the second chance drawing. Am i missing something?
Me either. I don’t buy skittles so I thought I’d enter the second chance drawing
This instant win game doesn’t start yet. That is why I put an update in red above. The link to the second chance drawing probably won’t appear until the actual start date of June 1st – see above
It says that the second chance drawing is for unclaimed grand prizes. Does this mean that the gift cards aren’t included in the second chance drawing?
I’ve been buying the specialy marked Starburst everytime I go in a store but haven’t won anything yet. “Congratulations, you lost,” why so sarcastic, Starburst?
I also cannot find that link for the Second Chance Sweepstakes.
I looked on every part of the site that was linkable/clickable that I could find. If anyone figures it out, would you please post it here.
thanks. (^;^)
Here is what their rules say :
SECOND CHANCE SWEEPSTAKES: Grand Prizes not claimed by 11:59:59 AM (ET) on 12/31/10 will be awarded in the Second Chance Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”), assuming a sufficient number of eligible entries are received. To enter the Sweepstakes, go to http://www.summerhuntforgold.com and select the link for entry into the Second Chance Sweepstakes, complete the entry form with the information requested, and click “Submit Entry”
Remember, this game doesn’t officially start until June so that is probably why the second chance drawing link isn’t live yet.
