Well, what is the outcome, did you get it yet? 
Do you have pictures you can post?

I love these types of stories, Congrats!

I have not received the car yet, but I have been getting updates regularly. The company is giving away a 2014 Acadia and 2 Terrains. I recently found out that the 2 Terrains will be 2015's.

I have spoken with them regarding the sweepstakes laws, so now I'm just playing the waiting game.

I also wanted to thank you all for your concern in hoping that I don't get ripped off. But I'm confident its not a scam.

Congratulations to you!!  I enter a lot of contest, too.  I have won small items but still waiting on one of the big ticket items!!

A big one did hit for me ~ I won a trip to Hawaii!  Papers have been signed, notarized and verified.  Waiting on the final trip itinerary to be sent to me.  There are a lot of contests out there waiting to be won!  Now I'm working on winning a new car.
Have a wonderful day!

Don't forget to be saving your money.  You'll have to pay taxes to Uncle Sam on the value of the win.
Have a wonderful day!

Wow! Incredible. Congratulations on winning your new vehicle. I think I would have thought it was an April Fool's Day joke too. Talk about funny timing.

Congrats GaylaSue! I won a trip to Montana a few years ago, but still waiting to win one to Hawaii! :) And I'm going to pay the taxes out of pocket, then sell my old car to replace the money.

I got a call yesterday saying that I had won a new SUV from a sweepstakes I entered. I was a little skeptical because it was April Fool's Day and I enter a lot of sweepstakes and couldn't remember this one. However, I was emailed the forms yesterday and got them mailed off today. I am sooooo happy!  ;D
Congratulation!. But just be careful. They might ask you to pay kind of portion fee in order to get your car... I hope that this is not a con artist scam. I love winning but never in one bit of sweepstakes.

I surely hope it's all above board and you get your car.  You will have to pay taxes on it though as someone has already mentioned.

Wow!!  That is great!!  Congrats!!  I enter a lot of contests too but have never actually won a car; won a set of keys on the radio once but it didn't fit the car.

WOW I never really new anyone who actually won something.  I am so happy for you, watch out for the sales tax when you go to license it.
