[QUOTE="MasonLovak"]its a scam /experiencedanjammer69
Yup. They get you to go to the dealership with your "winning key" just to get you there to buy a car. Don't fall for it bub.

I don't have ten thousand let alone 40000 for a cady. The car I have is decent anyway nice 07 Scion TC

Buy another pizza and scratch the new card and find out. This is probably the advertising scam dealerships use to get people to come in and look at cars.

One mistake no one has pointed out, if you look close, the pictures of the car where he scratched it off is a 2008-2012 Chevy Malibu, not a Cadillac CTS.

My bet is everyone wins that. Then that gives you the right to enter another contest to actually win something.

I got something like that in the mail recently. Read the fine print.

I've gotten those things in the mail before. Everytime I scratch I seem to always get the same arrangement of symbols and it's always a diagonal row of cars.

I'm pretty sure it's a scam.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like you should have only scratched off 3 of the blocks, not all 9?

[QUOTE="mrmusicman247"]There's a little 9 next to where it says $25,000. What does that mean? Tetrarch9
Fine print stuff (9) winner must be present to claim prize.(9)Number in adress bar must match number posted at dealership on prize board exactly in order to be eligible to win 2010 Cadillac CTS or 25,000 Cash Prize

Eligible to win? I am not a fan of eligibility.

That sounds fishy, but good luck claiming that. I always liked those contests where you have to touch the car and last man standing keeps it, they get pretty wild and can last for days alas they don't do them that much these days :(

I bet its one of those things that is a winner most the time and when you go to turn it in you get entered into a sweepstakes that has millions of others in it. They will also try to sell you stuff and get you to sign up for things when you turn it in.

Looks like you won.

But

Are you supposed to scratch the whole thing or just three squares?

I was also wondering this...seems to me he was only supposed to scratch 3 squares.

You may have to pay like a $2000 deposit or something. I know someone who won a car in a similar way. They had to do a bunch of stuff and spend money but in the end it was a lot cheaper than the face value of the car. Your definetly not going to walk in and be given the keys.

Sure sounds fishy to me. My guess is that A. It will be a sweepstakes type thing or B. It's a really clever advertisement.

It says you've won. It doesn't say you've won the prizes mentioned.cd_rom
Based on the little bit of the advertisement shown, this is the right answer. I don't see anywhere that indicates that getting 3 'cars' in a row means you win a car. (I'm also not sure what footnote #9 states).

I received something similar, mine said to take the key to the dealership on a certain date and see if it starts the car, if it does, you win it. I threw it away...

What you probably won is a trip to the dealership to put your name in a drawing with everybody else who won... which is everybody. All of those cards are winners.

It's a scam to get you to go down to their dealership.

There's nothing that says it's a CTS-V.. Just a regular CTS, which is nowher near 500 horses.
