Contest Winnings From A . . . Credit Card ???


This is a first for me but I am sure it will happen again and probably has happened to a lot of you. I entered a contest late last year and totally forgot that I did. Mastercard sent out a Tweet that if you retweeted that Tweet you would be entered into a Dodger specific prized contest. I also guess it was only for season ticket holders as this is what I received yesterday from them :


Whaaaat ???
I won some Dodger cash to be used for parking, tickets or merchandise. Well I'll take that any day of the week. I totally forgot what the prizes were so I had to look up what the first place prize was and the overall grand prize. 1st place won $100 worth of Dodger cash which isn't too much more than what I won so no biggie but the grand prize would have been grand indeed as if you were lucky enough to have your named pulled for that you would have won $1000 in Dodger cash. That would have been nice but I am not complaining as I have won/been given $75 in free money to be used at Dodger stadium. I might pare it up with my season ticket holder discount and buy a jersey or maybe just buy the wife a couple of rum beverages so she can tolerate the team when we are there. LOL.


A $5
A $10
Another $10
and so on.

Since I don't really have anyone specific I can say thank you to I guess I will say thanks to the Dodger and Mastercard corporations for partnering up on a contest that I was fortunate enough to win. The money will be used wisely. 

Thank you for reading and have a blessed day.

  1. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I say you get a jersey! Or a couple of new fitted caps! They better not say you can only use one voucher per transaction.

  2. Buy the wife some rum drinks then she won't notice when you buy a jersey with your own money.

    2. Sweet winnings can never beat free cash or discounts and I agree with Matt on this one. I was lucky enough to score two jerseys a few years back for under 175 all because they had issues with the MLB.tv app and gave customers 50% off with a premium subscription. I ended buying an allstar wright jersey and a discontinued Johan jersey.

    3. 80+ for an authentic jersey is a hell of a bargain.
      I was thinking of paring the bucks with my 25% discount but probably will just make sure wife is happy
