Question

Do you know anybody who won Reader's Digest Sweepstakes while sending documents back in a "NO" reply envelope

Answer 1

Hi there,

I work for Reader's Digest as it happens and of the 15 major cash prizes that we have given away in the past three Sweepstake draws, four of the winners had replied ‘No’ to our offer. Please note also that through the course of a sweepstakes a customer may receive multiple opportunities to enter the draw.  In some cases they may respond ‘Yes’ to the offer and in other cases they may respond ‘No’ to just enter the draw. So while they may have once purchased a product, the winning entry could very well have come from a ‘No’ response. I hope this clears things up for you?

Answer 2

Good question!  In fact...does anyone know someone who has ever WON the sweepstakes, or any OTHER contest, where they give away a house, or a car, or motorcycle, etc?

Ever know anyone who has won a Pepsi contest, or "found the right bottle cap"  on some soda, to win a contest?

Makes me think that the contests are just a ploy to get people to spend more money on their products, or, like R.D. Sweepstakes, their magazines!
