Whoa weird. I got the notification as well. I don't even have kids, so I don't think I would have entered this contest! :shrug:

There is a longer thread regarding this email here...

It looks like someone received this same email back in October and now we are receiving it again tonight.

I'd be careful I think that is a scam. The site included in the email is not even hosted in Canada OR the US. It's hosted in The Netherlands!

The actual Shoppers website is hosted in Canada.

Be careful!

on Friday I won the twitter prize from McDonalds, the entire 2009-2010 NHL hockey card set. Today at the front door FedEx already dropped it off!
McDonalds shipped it Priority Overnight! Soooo fast!

Anyways the cards in question...they are worth a LOT. I looked up how much the entire set is selling for on eBay and it's as high as $500! This is an amazing win for me!

Also congrats to izzyb14 on winning the same prize! This is one prize I just can't keep, going to have to sell :D

Yes, the same thing happened to me! Except the message indicated there was a system error.

No, I didn't get that email, I got a page asking for my name and Optimum number, then a skill testing question.... Maybe I will contact Shoppers about this and they can confirm or deny if it was real...

They realized they made a mistake - only certain people were to get the email, obviously. They are fixing it.

The Subway cards are $10 each and the coupons are worth $14 each for a jumbo pack of diapers.

That's awesome Bob! Just curious... About how long before the coupons came? I won a few and my girl is probably close to potty training!

I won those 2 coupons on November 12th and then the 2nd one on November 13th! So pretty fast :)
