   I have gotten several of those type ads as well. I am not married either,
but in my case they cover this case. It says, "If you are married, your spouse
must be present", and further down, "proof of marital status (single or 
divorced) will be required if you come alone in order to collect your
prize", and "proof of sufficient income will be required". I get them from 
various condo sales companies regarding ski resort areas here in Colorado
(specifically, Silver Creek and Vail). I have not noticed where they are
mailed from, but will make it a point to look next time. This seems to
be a common trend in the real estate industry these days. Apparently
they are having trouble selling, and need to attract more potential
buyers.
  BTW, I do fit into their suggested income range, but I can't even afford
a residential condo, never mind recreational. I wonder where they get their
figures from!
