Effective today, you have an opportunity to win $100 worth of free gas simply by visiting the Daily Journal/Messenger Web site — www.upstatetoday.com
“Everyone knows that gas is expensive and $100 in free gas should fill a tank or two,” said Daily Journal/Messenger Marketing Director Jay Brooks. “We’ve made it easy, simply by visiting our Web site.”
Each day, a different advertiser's banner ad located on the right side of any page on the Web site will be linked to a hidden entry blank. When you find the lucky banner, simply fill out the contest blank and you are automatically entered to win. Increase your chances of winning by hunting for the lucky banner every day.
The drawing for the winner will take place every Friday. The $100 gas cards can be used at any Bountyland Quick Stop.
Those entering must be logged in as a registered user of the site to get to the entry blank. If you are not a registered user, simply click on the directive on the Web site and a simple registration form will pop up. Participants will only be able to enter once each day, and the ad with the entry form will also change each day.
“You can enter seven days a week if you want,” Brooks said.
Those registering must be 18 years of age.

Wow. It amazes me how people can get so cynical over things. It is a freaking contest people. It is NOT suppose to be easy! I know, why don't you just send them your address and have them mail you a gas card! That would be easier, right? If you don't want to play, then don't. If you do, then do knowing you may or may not find "the needle in the haystack". Sheesh...

hmmm. I only started searching this week, Tues the 15th I think was my first day. I have found the entry form every day since then. My question is... it says you must be a registered user of the site in order to find the entry form, yet I didn't register til' yesterday, what's the deal? oh.. and it's Friday.. got my fingers crossed! ;)

I have decided, "without inside knowledge", but with heartfelt confidence, that there is no one monitoring these comments, and there is no winners list, and I am alone in my quest. Can I get an AMEN?
