Could be just somebody who has never won anything!

I had never won anything in my 65 years, then got a door prize at the Garden RR club's Christmas social! Hey, now I finally knew what it was like! Not something I would use, as to date my layout is all Aristo; but heck, I won a red box car!

That is a really strange phenomenon entering contests and not wanting the prize. [%-)] Do people enter contests because of the excitement of the hunt? I know a case where someone paid $100 for a chance to win and did win a brand new loaded Mustang convertible and did not want it. I know because I just traded my 10 year old car in for it. It was a really good deal because technically the new car is used (124 miles) so it had to be discounted accordingly. By the way my Wife drives the Mustang and I am driving her 8 year old station wagon now. [:D] Well at least it holds more trains.
Thank you, Jaime

If they don't want the prizes , why enter???? I only enter if I'm interested.
Like this month, I don't ever clean rail. So i pasted ,,this time.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Happy Railroading.

[:D][:D][:D] Good one, Ron! I wish I could. . .
I've left a voice mail and an email with two different people, and no one seems to be in today. Stay tuned.

Marty,

You remind me. I have to email and see if there are any updates on sweeps winners. It can take a long time to officially announce the winner--sometimes people don't want the prize and we have to draw new winners and contact them, over and over. . .[B)]
