What is it?

They’ve been running commercials non-stop this past month

with a high-profile spokeman (Wayne Brady).

Waaaay back in the day it was magazine contest thing,

but is it still a magazine-driven promotion?

Wiki says it’s 1 in 6.2Billion to win what they are advertising.

I’m sure it’s scammy, but...how do they still stay on the air?

Who pays for their advertising?

If it’s money driven, who is buying what?

So many questions on this last day of 2018.

And why is it allowed if a scam?

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

It's not a scam, but it's extremely difficult to win a big prize.

There are look-a-likes out there who are scammers.

They still sell magazines, but also numerous affordable products similar to the old catalogs like Lillian Vernon, Miles Kimball, etc. Housewares, pet items, small electronics, some clothes and jewelry and more.

I've bought a few things I was happy with - LED lighted magnifying glass, LED flashlights and under the cabinet lights.

I can also attest to winning $10 from them, an instant win for playing one of their games online, LOL.

I think they also rely on sponsors (aka commercials) between games.
