Christmas trivia and a chance to win money

#1 Post by JBillyGirl » Sun Dec 02, 2007 2:39 pm

As many of you know, I like to enter sweepstakes, and I came across one recently I thought you guys might enjoy. It's a game from ClearChannel in which you answer a set of 10 holiday trivia questions in "competition" with a surly Christmas tree. If you get more than 5 right, you may play the Instant Win game for a possible $1,000. Get enough points over time and be registered for the $10,000 grand prize (or I think you can just register for that separately).

Even with the rare wrong answer (such as the first line of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer") and the slim chance of winning actual money (I'll be honest: the odds don't seem that great), this game seems like fun, and you might learn a thing or two. Not a bad way to waste a little time.

Very slim it would seem. I've played every day since the contest started, but have only had one opportunity to choose a pair of ornaments for the chance to win the $1,000. The rest of the time I beat the Christmas tree, then get the original sign up screen. When I fill it in and hit submit, I get a message saying the e-mail address is already on file. Of course it is, that's why I filled it in on the login screen and clicked on the returning player button. I think Clear Channel needs to fix their game.

I just had the same problem. :(

It worked for me - this is the second day I've played.
