I vaguely remember entering a drawing a few weeks ago, but I'm hesitant filling out this claim form for a few reasons.

1) I'm not 100% sure that this is real, call me paranoid, but I've had companies try to phish me before.

2) I get enough junk mail as it is, if getting my name put onto a mailing list just to claim this prize is required, I don't want it. :oops:

3) I'm not a big fan of Neopets anymore. I pop in every few weeks, but after they destroyed the drawing with the whole customizable pets thing I haven't been able to forgive them :lol:

But then again... I like free stuff. xD Any thoughts about this?

It's legit. It's from the first week of their plushie giveaway. Someone's sister that I know also recently won a yellow poogle.

*desperately waits for an email*

Hehe, on the advice from my sister I decided to claim it. It said to expect delivery within the next 6-8 weeks. :lol:

I read in another forum that 6,000 people won a plushie.

Is true. I read the rules just to make sure that I was a legal winner. They said that a large number of plushies were the secondary prize in the drawing.

Bah... at least you can enter! I've tried and keep being told I'm not eligible. Silly being Australian. >.< Not nice of them to mention it on the news and then not let me enter!
