Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

8 December 2007 - 07:47 AM by Chris

Yesterday, I received a letter in the mail informing me that I was chosen as the winner of a most fantastical prize for participating in the X Marks the Spot contest: a $20 Dominos gift card! (I'm still working on my sarcasm.) Peep the scanned letter below.

For those that are uninformed, X Marks the Spot is a Microsoft sponsored online scavenger hunt. Each day for 36 days, they post 10 clues. 36 days. 10 clues. 360 total clues. Xbox 360. Geez, do I have to spell everything out for you?!?

Anyway, each clue refers to a webpage on which the text was altered to contain a word whose x has been colored green. Find the word and enter it as the answer to the clue. Each correct answer is an entry to the contest.

Prizes range from packs of gum to a Pontiac G8 sedan and plenty in between, including Zunes and of course Xbox 360s. My eyes will definitely be on the mailbox for more letters.

I'm jealous. Of course, I also haven't played in over a week. But I'm still in the top 10,000! Smile
