That amuses me on many levels. How many big giveaways like that have ever actually ended up with the prize in the hands of an affiliate or customer?

I can only think of one, and that was Greenguy getting the CE viper back in the day.

The usual MO is make the contest a year long, quit promoting after a couple of months and let people forget about it.

from what I recall, at the time the winner chose the cash prize, versus the car.

That sounds right, I may be wrong but I think Greenguy couldn't even drive a stick at the time or something like that.

Plus unless you've got extra garage space, a Viper is not exactly a daily driver or something you just park beside the house with a car cover. It's not a happy car in traffic. In fact, it's not a happy car til it hits at least 80 mph.

But at any rate, I know that prize was actually rewarded. I think a lot of people grumbled because Greenguy won it, and he was tight with CE at the time. But when you run a raffle type contest where every signup is a ticket, statistically you would expect huge affiliates to have the best chance at winning.

Now I seem to remember CE following that up with a million dollar give away. Hell, I probably still have a banner for that here somewhere. Dont recall that ever being awarded. And that was circa 98-99.
