On several occaissions I have received notices that I have won something
and that all I have to do is to listen to a pitch for an hour on vacation
spots or something! Now normally I just toss them, but lately, they've
been stressing the fact that I have won something in a specific catagory
in which there are some really nice prizes. Usually there are 4, and
3 are terrific BUT 1 is questionnable (in this case a barbeque grill).
The problem being that it could be expensive OR very cheap.

Has anyone had a similar experience or know of anyone who has ever
been awarded a decent prize??

I know it's probably a come-on. What do you think??
