Gee, Janice, I hope you're not too disappointed when they announce MY name at NC.
 
Be sure to read the prize rules- just in case you are the winner! :) ....saw this little ditty:
One (1) winner will be selected to receive a 24-month lease for the Ford Edge of the winner’s choice. The 24-month lease of the Ford Edge has an approximate retail value of $15,000. The following conditions apply to the awarding of this prize:

• Winner must remain an “active” Consultant during the 24-month period to receive payments. For purposes of this Sweepstakes, “active” has the meaning assigned in the then-current Consultant Agreement, or as may be modified by Sponsor from time to time upon written notice. If winner fails to remain active in any single month, remaining lease payments by Sponsor shall be forfeited.
*For $15k lease, you think they'd find a car that they could just buy outright....
 
Stupid doctor... stupid travel restrictions... :(

Good luck to the rest of you guys! :D
 
Remember, its taxable! :)

As everything is :)

But then, tax on $7500/year is still less than the car payments themselves!
 
Even paying $150.00 a month or two to stay active would be worth it! Hmm, I can win that in plenty of time for my daughter's 16th birthday.
 
Sorry all! I don't own a vehicle at all! My last one died in December 2008 and I SHARE my daughter's Ford Focus! This one is mine! :)
 
Wow. Thanks for the fine print. It wasn't on the flyer.a) I don't do leases. Sheesh. I put way more than 15K of miles on a car.
b) If it was an outright gift, I hate to say it ... but I'd probably sell it, take the cash and buy something more sensible.
c) Don't want to risk losing the car if I go inactive sometime in the next two years. Remember "inactive" means you don't have sales a particular month.Too bad. My "fleece before the Lord" was going to be 2 shows in May, both doing very well. At this point, I'm already concentrating on June and the SAT.
 
I am going to have two shows in May but I do not want that car. Way too many strings attached with a lease let alone having to make sure you stay active.
 
I sure would like to be the one to win.
 
Heck, Ill drive it the 15000 miles and then park it every month...hahaha Show me the money..I mean the car...:D
