Thanks for reporting your errors. I've passed them on to the developers.

RootDKJ - I'm told your issue was specifically related to a mismatch between the carrier selected on the site and the carrier with which your phone number appears to correspond. They also said they re-sent the message to you today. Any texts from 22122?

Hey all,

The "once per day" requirement is intended to function in the "calendar day" sense. In other words, if you entered last night at 11:00pm, then you should be able to enter again now without waiting until 11 tonight. (Note: this is all Eastern Time.)

So, if you're getting the "Sorry, u already entered today" system response, and you're certain that you haven't entered more than once per calendar day, please send me your mobile phone number via direct message, and I'll forward it on to the developers.

They should just change it to "Sorry, you can only enter once in a 24-hour period". I'll bet a lot of people are a bit puzzled. It might turn them away completely, thinking the system is broken.

Since we are now up to page 17, I think Stratton got the buzz they wanted! I wonder how many AZers who have made disparaging remarks about Stratton now have free tix? ;)

They're not on the top of my list, but I'll take the free ticket and maybe buy a beer and a burger. Maybe I'll even bring someone who will pay.

Lost again... I guess..
the text message doesn't say I lost, doesn't say I won, and doesn't say I already entered today... it just says My entry has been confirmed. so I'm assuming that I lost yet again...

Just WON! Second try. Hopefully some of my friends will win and actually go with me this year. A free day of skiing is a day of skiing. For some smooth powder or a nice spring day, I'd go. Stratton has some of the best SPRING skiing. There I said it.

Question. If I have two cell phones, one from work, can I win two tickets?

You can, but the rules prohibit. According to the rep you could lose both tickets if they figure it out, but that doesn't sound too likely.

Tried my cell phone, tried my wife's cell phone, we both lost - but we did get the losing txt message ok.

I'll try again tomorrow. I'm not going to go hog-wild trying (at 25 cents per text message, I'm not going to try every day for the rest of ski season) but I figure it's worth 2 or 3 dollars before I give up trying.

Now that I won. How do I unsubscribe from the reminder? There is no link in the email.

I wanted to give everyone a follow up to my troubles. Gabriel had the company sending out the text messages contact me. They couldn't really figure out why I wasn't getting the text messages either. They also weren't receiving any texts I was sending to them.

Finally they were able to force a message through and I have indeed won a one day ticket to Stratton this season! I'll also be changing my data provider to Verizon wireless in a month anyway.

Thanks Gabriel for the follow up on this one! :beer:

Later,
Root
