Am I doing something wrong? I enter my email. I've recieved a link but never get a code. The link is always to register after I've already done so.

How long ago did you win?

I received the "Official Winner!" email and all it says is to wait for a FedEx Shipping number.

I won shortly before 1am central time this morning. I got the same email as you, but I hear there's supposed to be a 2nd email following that which confirms your eligibility, then a 3rd email after that from fedex confirming that it's shipped.

Now I am worried... Thanks.

I won Sunday AM and didn't get confirmed until Monday afternoon, hopefully you'll get it tomorrow!

I kept hoping my win would get confirmed unusually fast and I'd have a PSVR on its way to me tomorrow. I was checking my email every 10 minutes lol. But now I'm just gonna not be greedy and let it take its time.
 
Going straight to a friend now.

Dang I missed out so many days... Do I even want to try? I feel like I'll be so dissapointed if I don't win.

What are people doing to raise their chances? Redeeming the code during early morning times?
 
I just tried the text message code at 10:30 pm 2 seconds and had to enter another text "YES" so I think it didn't count the first one but the one after

The prizes aren't necessarily on the quarters exactly.
Many people, if not most, have won at odd times within the quarter.

Yeah. Theoretically, depending on how frequently they seed the winning time, you may only have a 1/900 chance of winning on the dot. Even less when you factor in the likelihood of others trying their codes right at the start of the new interval.
 
Hoping my strat will net me a win, I got fifteen burner numbers so I should have a good chance of winning. Cost less than two boxes at taco bell and I don't even have one nearby, so I figured why not gamble on it? Just gonna enter once every minute in a random timespan maybe around 5am central. Should I be texting in between minutes or as the clock turns?

I'm no expert, but I'd try entering within a few seconds of the minute changing. AFAIK, the first person to enter a code after the chosen minute has passed will win. So if you wait until 30 seconds in, maybe someone else went 10 seconds in and won already.

With 15 ready to go, you could probably set it up so that you have 15 tabs open with the code ready to be input. And you could literally just enter a code at the beginning of every single minute of a 15-minute block.

No advantage to having one-use codes at this time. You're going to need 15 different emails or phones (or a combination therein) to enter 15 times in one day regardless of code count. And if you're doing all web-based only, you'll need to use 3 different addresses (only 5 entrants allowed per household).

Yep, exactly what I plan on doing. Now to just figure out what time would be the best. On second thought maybe 3 or 4 would be better than five, though aren't a ton of people entering around 4 est now?

Burner numbers as in phone numbers. I'm just using the common code.

I won! Early AM to boot.

But I made a second account and used it once on the second day when the free code wasn't reusable. Please God, don't disqualify me D:

Did you use the same name on the second account? Even then, I wouldn't be too worried if you haven't used it in several days.

Probably, doh. That clause in the TOS is surely just for mass account botters but I'll be crossing my fingers super tight for the next few days.
 
Heh, gave it a shot, no luck. Sent fifteen entries in, one each minute, all exactly at the 00 mark. Should have known better, as I assume there are still a good number of Taco Bells getting business right now. Gonna try again tomorrow, but a little later. Think I'm gonna go for around 5am CST.

I kept wondering what clock they might be on when I wanted a specific minute. I just used my desktop clock but then I realized that there's no guarantee that the prize company has the same exact clock.

That's why I went for a few seconds into the new minute instead of being exactly on it. For all you know, maybe you were actually submitting codes at the 59 second mark of the previous minute (on their end). But this is all just random conjecture!

I did the PS4 game and the Vita game with my phone and my wife's phone and have never won so don't get your hopes up too high when you see people that win on their first try.

I forgot to enter on my wife's phone last night and didn't send it in until 10:45 PM. This morning I tried again around 8 and it said I already entered today so I'm not sure when the reset is. This is all eastern time as well. Is it just 24 hours in between tries?
