Regardless, I would take it. Worst case scenario you end up with a gift card you don't want, but can probably sell. Best case scenario, it's a prepaid Visa. Either way it's a win-win; you'll still be able to get more out of it than you'd pay in taxes.

As an aside, I have to say I do get jealous sometimes of those that can enter the tobacco sweeps! They seem to offer the most prizes/odds. Although I guess the fact that I'll have a lessened chance of getting lung cancer, emphysema, and infertility is a decent consolation.
The way I read the letter I recvd " $1,000 prepaid card valid for Car Stereo installation" and the rules my bet is that it's a prepaid Visa card. The only other alternative would be a Best Buy gift card because they do installations. Those two would be the only alternatives for use across the entire US. I am hoping its a prepaid Visa or MasterCard instead of a BBuy card.

You got boned...was supposed to have 5 pepsi coupons, not to quibble over a buck--but yeah. Hoping to win the promo again would kind of like to buy an ipad for my father.
Well you can't win the party pack again but you can win once per prize level. I myself have won twice. Pepsi and Lays have been very kind with this promotion Smilie

Saw one user brag about winning 3 grand prizes...didn't read the rules all that closely so assumed you could win multiple times. Didn't realize s/he might not be playing by the rules. Was not trying to suggest cheating was ok, I'm so sorry if my post sounded that way.

Still considering giving away some of my music codes, have accumulated quite a few of them.

The rules state "There is a limit of one (1) prize per prize level per person/household/e-mail address per Entry Period." So it does seem like it's possible to win multiples of each prize, even the grand prize, just not from the same entry period.

You'd still have to be fairly lucky, though. OMG

You don't have to be a smoker (or have a snotty attitude) to enter

Actually for all tobacco sweeps you DO have to be a user to enter per law. They put this in place so tobacco companies cannot "entice" non-smokers by offering prizes, some sort of advertising law.

From the contest rules:
"You will be required to certify that you are a smoker 21 years of age or older and a legal resident of one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia and will need to provide your date of birth. Your registration information and your verbal certification statement are subject to validation and will be confirmed through a third–party data source."
