where is the "instant win" portion of this game? i do the free symbol through email, but have never seen a scratch off game?
The instant win chance had a limit of one try, which I believe happened on whatever day you originally registered.
Only the collect and win portion runs daily, limit 2 game pieces per day.

Quote from Sixxy48 :
The $50 game was is the first phase which ended on 7/31. If you get game piece a small window pops up, so make sure your pop-up blocker is off. It will have a picture of the object (movie camera, plate and fork, station wagon, etc.) and take it's place in the appropriate outlined box. The colors mean nothing, or at least they didn't in the first phase.

The game is messed up and has been since right after this phase started. We seemingly get the same pieces over and over again, if we get any at all.
Thank you, for the information. My pop-up blocker is off, but I'm still not getting a picture.

Quote from njbob49 :
I just got this email from HelloWorld.

"Thank you for reaching out regarding the Dr. Pepper Summer Sweepstakes. We sincerely apologize for any difficulty you have experienced.

Our records indicate that participants are receiving the same tile or the same couple of tiles multiple times in Phase Two of the sweepstakes. This is resulting in the misconception that participants are not receiving any tile piece for the alternate method of entry or the uploaded receipt method of entry. Please note that the tiles provided for each entry are randomly generated each time you process an entry and you are receiving a piece for every entry.

If you are not receiving the emails for entries, please check you junk, spam, or promotion email folders for them. Emails are being sent from [email protected] so be sure to add this to your list of acceptable addresses to receive emails from. We also suggest clearing your cache/cookies before entering the site to avoid receiving invalid errors when requesting a piece or uploading your receipt.

We will continue to look into this further. We appreciate your patience while we continue to actively investigate."

If I am getting the same piece over and over, how will I ever have a chance to win? They are saying that getting the same piece is OK as you are getting an entry. HELLO, your contest is not working right, fix it. What a crock of BS.

After much head scratching and re-reading this I believe what they are telling us is that the tiles are for representation purposes only...at least that is how I'd take it. As I mentioned before I had my game board show 3 cards in a row w/o me ever getting that final 'winning' tile..I know for a fact I never saw it if it came up and it wasn't until days later that I got the actual winner validation. So it might be frustrating to us all, but I'm going to hang in there, hell have so far might as well see it to the end laugh out loud

Who knows, all I know is
1. in the 1 st phase, I never received the same game pieces EVERY SINGLE DAY, like I have in this phase...plate/fork only, no other.

2. In the 1st phase I always received a game piece x 2 every day.......in this phase, some days as mentioned in my above post, I/we get NO game pieces....so either no game pieces or plate/fork may be once, sometimes both plays...

oh and also btw, hubby only gets the grill on the days he gets 1 or 2 game pieces, else nothing!

Hard to understand how any of us somehow only receive the same 1 game piece when we actually get any though....has to be statistically impossible, me thinks! Big Grin

I had to laugh when sure enough up popped the one and only game piece I have ever received during phase 2....... the plate and fork, and of course they didn't let me down on my 2nd play....nada-zip-nothing-zero. I think we should all nominate them for the worst run sweep-stake game ever! Wink

Nice to see a win posted, congratulations! woot

Addendum: Just received my usual/on the days I receive pieces, 2 of 2 plates and forks! If these were real, I'd have enough for a huge outdoor get together neighborhood party B-B-Q! LMAO

This phase 2 fiasco ends tomorrow. HelloWorld was no help as multiple people emailed them that the contest was not working right. Their answer was that even though you were receiving the SAME PIECE everyday, that must mean the contest is working. BS

I found this in the rules."In the event that a potential Collect and Win Game prize winner is disqualified for any reason, or a Collect and Win Game prize is unawarded or unclaimed, Sponsor will award the prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.There will be three (3)alternate drawings after which the prize will remain unawarded." With the lack of winners I am assuming because of this duplicate and no pieces fiasco, we still have a chance to win something in the second chance drawings.

Now they can start processing the $50 GC I won on 5/8/16. Mad

This is the only contest I've ever done that was so messed up. You would think somewhere along the line either coke or the hello world co. would have attempted to correct the mess, but sad to say such is the way of life nowadays, nobody ever takes responsibility nor admits to anything. vomit

Like you I hope to at least receive the $50 gc I won in the 1st go-round....oh and I was also 1 of those contacting them....
