Here was 2007. I suspect as previous years, they will be close to the same. (But I don't see stage 1 word on the 2007 list.. )

7.5.08 - Stage 1 = "SAAB"
7.6.08 - Stage 2 = "ECHELON"
7.7.08 - Stage 3 = "AERODYNAMIC"
7.8.08 - Stage 4 = "EFFICIENCY"
7.9.08 - Stage 5 = "BORN FROM JETS"
7.10.08 -Stage 6 = "SPRINT"
7.11.08 -Stage 7 = "PODIUM"
7.12.08 -Stage 8 = "JET INSPIRED"
7.13.08 -Stage 9 = "DESCENT"
7.14.08 - Rest = "

looks like we blew it this year..




Here is last years list.

winners list

per the official rules

15. Winner List: Winner List requests will only be accepted after the promotion end date (midnight July 27th) and no later than October 31, 2008. For the Winner List, send an email with subject line: "E – Fly to the Finish, Winner List Request," to WinListRequests@eprizefulfillment.com.

per the rules this is only open to the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.
hopefully a winner will be posted that is close to somebody here so we can see if its real.

the instant win game isnt even based on the chance of the spin, its based on a time.

Instant Win Game: Thirty (30) random, computer-generated winning times, one per day for each prize listed below, will be generated during the Promotion Period. If you are the first player to play the Instant Win Game at or after one of the randomly generated times, you will be a potential instant winner of the prize indicated.

so if the time for the day is 11 o'clock at night you dont even have a chance any time before that......:rolleyes:

not a very fun contest

They could give out more prizes or more free spins. I entered every single one of the valid codes today and didn't get anything, not even a free spin. I always hate these flash based spin things because they aren't truly random...there's a set spin number or login that awards prizes, otherwise they would be giving away too much stuff for free.

Prizes One per day for the instant game July 21st includes a bike.

Instant Win Game prizes: i) TWENTY-THREE (23) PHASE ONE PRIZES (one per day from June 28-July 12, July 16-July 19 and July 24-July 27, 2008): Yellow Jersey. Jersey may be signed. Sponsors will determine the size of the jersey and the person that will sign it (if applicable) in their sole discretion. ARV: $50. ii) FIVE (5) PHASE TWO PRIZE (one per day on July 13, 14, 20, 22, & 23, 2008): Polka Dot Jersey. Jersey may be signed. Sponsors will determine the size of the jersey and the person that will sign it (if applicable) in their sole discretion. ARV: $140. iii) TWO (2) PHASE THREE PRIZES (one per day on July 15th and July 21st, 2008): Polka Dot Jersey and Cervélo SLC-SL Bicycle. Jersey may be signed.

So DON'T expect to win putting in a code every day I noticed about 90 people looking at the thread.

I watched Stage 10 several times and never saw the code word. Generally they put it up 2 or 3 times during the stage, but if they did that on Stage 10, I managed to miss it over and over and over! I wasn't ever watching without distraction, so maybe I did keep missing it--still, it seems to me unlikely; I'm wondering if they even had one that day. Or maybe they only put it up in the first couple of hours that morning--remember, that was one of those days where the first airing is really long and where later airings cut out the first couple hours of the first airing.

probably the one that you could get the car for. they show it once during some boring commercial segment that most of us skipped. :D
