Complaint Review: PlasmaNet (Freelotto.com)

I was notified by email that I had matched 5 out of 6 numbers in the Classic Freelotto drawing on November, 27, 2001. The top prize was $1,000,000.00, however, since I matched 5 numbers I was entitled to the second prize of $300.00. The prize is substantially smaller than the aforementioned so I figures that I would receive my winning in a timely manner. Not so.

I have matched numbers in the same drawing before to win numerous $1.00 prizes which I received payment for in the form of a check, usually within a month. I assumed that by me winning a $300.00 prize I would receive my winnings in a timely manner as well. Well I can honestly say that as of today, March 14, 2002, I have neither heard from nor seen any sign that my prize is on its way.

I have called PlasmaNet to see just what the problem was and was told there was none. I was also told that most winnings are verified and even processed in as little as 14-30 days. Great, I thought! I need the money and since it wasn't the MILLION I may get it sooner.

In spite of all of this, the company still has the audacity to suggest that I tell my friends and family about Freelotto so that they can play too. Well, if you ask me , I'd like my friends to remain my friends and I just do not see how that is possible if they are being set up for a let down. I am now too embarrased to even tell them that I still have not received the prize that I won way back in November.

For anyone that asks me a good online site to win money, I suggest the Publisher's Clearing house. We already know going in that their company is a scam so we do not get our hopes up that much in the first place.
