Something gives me the feeling that more than “12″ people were “selected” this time around.

You have won up to $1,000,000
Poker Chips in the PurePlay Lottery!

Click below to claim your prize

The lottery only runs through August 31st, 2011
Find out how much your prize is and claim it today!

Only one prize will be awarded per person per email sent. All prize values are play money chips.

It’s strange how I always manage to win things that I don’t register or sign up for. I mean, how the heck did I just win $1,000,000 in poker chips from PurePlay? I don’t even know what PurePlay is. I don’t even play poker online. Nevertheless, I wish I could collect these chips and then cash out.

Apparently, my tickets are reserved for Six Flags. However, the subject said “CONGRATULATIONS!!!” Which is it? Reserved would imply that they are holding them for me, more than likely so that I can purchase them, though I would have to wonder why I would need them reserved, since Six Flags can’t exactly sell out. Why not just say I’ve won the tickets and send me a printable coupon? Oh wait, we live in the world of SPAM.

Nonetheless, here’s what you’ve been waiting for (unless you read this just to read what I rant, in which case the show’s now over):

So I only have 1 more final left before summer, and it isn’t until Thursday night. What would make my week even better? The Black Ops map pack. Oh wait, I have that, too. Uhhh. How about some money? Well, perfect. Today, I won $555 from a “Casino-Super-Party.” I’m so excited to claim my prize. Let’s see, they just want my credit card information and don’t ask for my bank account number or address. Interesting, new technology I suppose.

Yes, by the way, I am being completely sarcastic. Hopefully you’re used to it by now. I suppose besides the fact that [normal] people don’t just randomly give $555 to random people, Google’s warning makes it a little less likely I’m going to follow suit.

It’s not every day that you get to peer into the inbox of one of my e-mail accounts. However, some of these e-mails are just formatted too strange and the content is almost unbelievable to the extent that I have to just post the actual graphic. Take a look at this one:

I mean I’m pretty sure an actual ad or confirmation would have more thought-out strategies to their e-mails than this.

“Your ticket to $1,000 Walmart certificate has just arrived! Terms Apply

Complete sponsors offers & receive $1K Walmart Gift Card as a gift! See Details”

Well jeez. If I won, why do I have to do sponsor offers before I can claim my “ticket.” Heh. I feel as if $1000 would go a long way at Walmart.

Someone sent you the new iPhone 4!

*Participation required

OMG! I can’t believe some anonymous person gave me an iPhone 4. I’m so happy right now. I can’t wait to start playing around with the Retina display and trying out all the cool new features. I bet I’ll have to give them some personal information, but it’s OK. Apple asks for it too. What harm can it possibly do?
