I knew I should have got my family Taco Bell instead of Jason’s Deli last night when I was too lazy to cook.
nice win!
@Baily Sprouse did you guys get an email confirmation? I got the same message but no email confirmation or anything….=\
That’s so cool! Thanks so much! I guess I have to mail an envelope to get it?
I went to Taco Bell for dinner last night and got the Box meal. Entered the code simply on a whim as I never do these kind of giveaway things.
And what Do i see….
You are a WINNER of a PlayStation®Vita 3G/Wi-Fi system with: (etc)
Had a small Moment off disbelief. I’m so excited and gave the requested information for verification. Yet I have not received an Email yet? Does anyone know if they send an Email out or a letter? I heard you get a link you must click on to Verify via email within 3 days of the win?
Anyone know whats up with this?
“Prize claims subject to verification by Ventura Associates, an independent judging organization, whose decisions are final on all matters relating to this Promotion. Notification letter will be sent via First Class Mail to the potential prize winners.” pulled from the unlock the box rules page
May have answered my own question though still a bit iffy. Apparently if you send it in via SMS you will get the email verification. If you do it on the website you get mailed a letter. Or at least thats my understanding of it
Well I hope i get some kind of comfimation. It makes me nervous
Yeah I’m a little nervous myself. But as I posted above after doing some thorough re-reading. We should be getting a letter in the mail soon.
If you sent the box code via text messaging then provided you got the verification info text requiring an email, you will get an Email with a link that you will need to click on within 3 days
Phew…Ive been scouring sites everywhere for more information and it seems like we are all in the same boat. We got the Congrats page but no email confirmations. People with text have gotten an email but no return confirmation after that it seems…And as Dan said the rules state they send physical mail for confirmation.
Still I really hope we all really win hahahha.
My assumption is that any of the winners who filled out all the information asked online will receive a letter likely from TacoBell or Ventura Associates who are handling the verifications from my understanding. This I would think will arrive within a week of winning the prize. (thats just my guess though)
Didnt get my email also. I won jan-30. First time I played too.Hope I get mu letter soon.
I wrote on the taco bell faceboook wall and they responded that it could take 2-3 business days to receive confirmation.
I went to Taco Bell on a whim today because I didn’t want leftovers for lunch… entered the code, and BAM, got the winner message
. No verification email, as you guys said, so I guess I will wait for my confirmation letter. Score!

I also message taco bell and this is what they said. Taco Bell Hi Guys – The verification process usually takes 2-3 business days. You will receive a confirmation email after this process is complete. Hope this helps
Any idea how to unlock the free code…isnt it suppose to start today?
looks like i am going to taco bell today
/me crosses fingers
Just wanted to post an update. Got an email today confirming I was a winner, and asking for 4 pieces of info. 1) full name, 2) address, 3) which game I want, and 4) phone number. So pumped! You other winners are likely going to receive this email anytime now
. It also says you MUST respond within THREE days or you may forfeit your prize.
Cool glad to hear they’re sending the notifications out. Can’t wait to get mine. Hope I get the email soon
Any updates? @Dan @Baily Sprouse? Did the people that received emails do it through text or at the website with the code? I’ve been reading about people getting their codes within the past few days and something about a delay. Most were saying they were emails. Im so confused hahaha.
I did mine via the website. It was about 3 days until I received the email that I mentioned above.
Oh yeah, I entered my code and won on February 1st, and received the verification email on the 3rd.
Yeah still no verification email or letter for me @Jay. I heard the same thing about a delay but still starting to worry. Hope it comes soon
I did mine online. Starting to wonder if I should have texted it in?
I havent received my confirmation either. Im getting nervous.
Well from what I have been seeing people who won on the 31st onward have been getting emails but most people who won on the 30th are having trouble.
So the fact I won on the 30th is the problem supposedly? If I end up not getting the prize because of this… that would just suck
I believe I won mine on the 30th also and I haven’t recieved the varification letter either. I registered my code online, it seems like texting it would have been better-_- if I don’t get my ps vita I’m going to be pissed as fuck
I won on the 30th too. I better get this or im going to be fired up.
How do you get the free code?
I emailed the sweepstakes company about the problem and this is what they responded with…I suggest emailing them with a screenshot or code…I did both…To my knowledge people who won on the 30th are the only ones having this problem. Everyone else has received their confirmation.

@Jay Thanks going to do the same right away
I to won mine on the 30th and have not received a verifacation letter. I just sent Ventura a letter like Dan did, I hope they dont screw us over if it was a problem on their end.
@ Jay where did you email them at? I entered on the 30th as well and nothing at all!!
tb@sweepspros.com is what I originally emailed.
vgross@sweepspros.com is the email that responded.
Try both if they don’t respond. Provide your code, screenshot, or something.
Sent my information to both emails. Hopefully this will do the trick. If I end up not getting the prize I’ma be really bummed
and all because Ventura’s process isn’t/wasn’t working
Did the ame thing! Emails to both. Hope we don’t get burned on this!!!
still waiting for a reply. tb@sweepspros.com. I called taco bell directly and was given this number to report my problem to. Did just that. Anyone else having the same issue who has emailed and not received any replies try that address.
I played the unlock the box on Feb 2 . I played by text on my phone, after receiveing a message I won I entered my email…still no confermation email. I have called tb they told me it takes 2 or 3 days to get a email. After calling tb twice I was given a number to leave a message .I did that Feb 7…I was do excited I never don anything
I hope to hear from someone soon.
@Graves.
Possibly dealing with a similar situation as some of us such as myself. I won on January 30th and still haven’t received any sort of verification. I If you have the box I would try contacting Ventura and TacoBell through email with the code and your name.
tb@sweepspros.com
vgross@sweepspros.com
Good luck to you hope you can claim your prize I know as do others how unsettling this can be
