Puzzle Answer Could Win Poker Buy In - Sunday 4th of December 2005
The puzzle book, winmywpbhome.com, is going to award a dream home and up to $2.5 million to the grand prize winner and many secondary prizes that total more than $2 million. An additional prize has been added -- a seat to the prestigious World Series of Poker $10,000 buy in main event for 2006. Only the first 10,000 people who purchase the book are eligible for this added prize.
"The first person to solve the third puzzle will win the seat, plus hotel accommodations. Alternatively, the person can take cash for $10,000," said Krystal Giordano, public relations manager. "While sales have been good the first two weeks, we are really trying to put a stir in the air. We are going to keep adding additional prizes because we want the public to know that we are going to do everything we can to give this house away."
The contest, run by winmywpbhome.com, is a "game of skill," not a lottery or sweepstakes, and is therefore not considered gambling. Participants must purchase the book to win one of their many prizes.
"The book and all of the clues are selling for $29.99. In addition, we are providing free shipping and handling until the end of the year for people in the continental United States," says Giordano.
Winmywpbhome.com is dedicated to giving as well. One dollar from every book sale is being donated to the American Red Cross. "We are committed to giving and our goal is to make a conscious effort to help people who were victims of the tragic hurricanes," said Giordano.
