Prize #24-7: WIN a Nintendo Wii!

This is the BIG one.

Here’s the deal: GameStop rocks. They are SO awesome, in fact, that they are providing a Nintendo Wii for YOU to WIN and play Guitar Hero 5 on. If that wasn’t cool enough, you can even grab your own GH5 copy with this great deal:

Pre-Order Guitar Hero 5 at GameStop and GameStop.com and receive a FREE copy of the PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED Guitar Hero: Van Halen video game, as well as two free song downloads!

Are you ready to rock?

Well here’s the deal: Since this is the BIG prize of the week, it’s a little more involved than the normal daily prizes (but still pretty easy). You’ll have to watch for clues from our Twitter account – they’ll start with “Clue #24-7-” to denote that they are for this prize. They’ll also be tagged #TPclue and listed on the Tweet-A-Prize front-page for you to catch up on, in case you miss something.

Don’t answer these clues directly! If you do, you’ll be giving valuable information away. You’ll need to use these clues (probably between 10 and 15 total this week) to answer the prize question at the end of the week (tagged #TPprize). Answer that prize question correctly (it will be announced on Sunday), and you’ll have a shot at winning!

Don’t forget though, you’ll have to retweet this post to be entered to win (you can take care of that one right now by clicking the green “retweet” button on the left, or retweeting the Prize #24-7 post tagged #rtthis — the button is always the easiest and surest way).

Any questions? Check out the rules first, but feel free to drop us a line too.

This one is for the DUDES (or western-lovin’ ladies).

We here at Tweet-A-Prize! are going to throw in a little testosterone to mix things up: get ready for TWENTY MOVIES from the “Billy the Kid” series – all on DVD! It’s yours to win! Just retweet this post, answer the #23-3 prize question correctly, and you’ll be in the running to WIN!

The SPARKLE outfit! Just add jeans (and underwear if you prefer).

The BIG prize this week is a top-half combo so you can SPARKLE all around town! Sparkle Plenty has generously put the Swarovski Crystal enhanced “Bad Hair Day” Cap and “Drama Queen” Tee up for grabs!

Since this is the BIG contest of the shortened week, things are going to be a little bit more difficult to enter (but still pretty easy). Retweet this post as always, but then you’ll have to watch for the 8 clue tweets that will go along with prize #23-4. These clues will be scattered over the next three days. Collect the info in each of the clues, but DON’T TELL ANYONE ELSE! Then sometime on Saturday we’ll ask the #23-4 prize question, which will require the clue info to answer correctly.

It’s basically the same as always: retweet this post, and then answer the prize question correctly to be in the running. Just this time you’ll need to watch the clues too And don’t forget: if you miss a clue, it isn’t the end of the world! Just check out the Tweet-A-Prize! frontpage for a list of all the latest clues (click “Tweets tagged #TPclue” for a full list).

Prize 23-2: The Girly Tube!

You can use it for other things too…

Today’s prize – the “Girly Tube” – just HAPPENS to be a pink container shaped EXACTLY like a cigar. Despite the shape, you could really use it for just about ANYTHING… mints, paintballs, candy, money, or even diamonds! And with this kind of style, who wouldn’t want to use one of theses cases for EVERYTHING?

You can send all your thanks out to the King (and Queen) of Bling – Sparkle Plenty! Hit them up for all your sparkling accessory and apparel needs You can even order custom Sparkle designs for your own group, party, or brand! Pretty awesome.

(And for the guys who don’t want to use this for their cigars, don’t worry — we’re going to throw in a prize JUST for you dudes tomorrow ) .

And finally: we seem to have a lot of new players lately, so here’s a quick refresh on the rules (which are ALWAYS at the bottom of your screen on the website, with more details on the “RULES” page):

1) Follow @tweetaprize on Twitter! Everything happens on Twitter, so make sure you’re following us before anything else!

2) ReTweet the post for the prize you want to win! If you want to win this prize, then retweet this post! It’s EASY to do – just hit that little green retweet button at the top and when it takes you to your Twitter account, hit SEND.

3) Follow any clues and answer the prize question! Several times during the day, we’ll tweet a question for this prize. Sometimes it will be in reference to clues for that prize (if it’s a big prize), or if it’s just a normal one day prize like this (mini-prize) then there will just be the question. Answer the question correctly (usually by following a link and finding a piece of information), and you’ll be entered to win!

Sometimes we accept the first one to answer correctly as the winner, but more ofter we do a drawing from all the correct answers before a certain time of day. Retweet and answer the question correctly, and you’ll be in that drawing! Your odds are pretty darned awesome if you get the prize question right.

That’s it! You may not win your first try, but heck – it only takes a minute or two to enter! And some of these prizes are worth well over $10, so it’s worth your effort

For today’s discussion: What is the most masculine thing you could imagine keeping in a pink “girly tube”?
