Megawin Promotional Prices A Division Of Megawin Lotto, Mega Inc. Winner of Drawing $45, 000.00 call before cashing 1st check ripoff Halifax Nova Scotia
Received a letter from Megawin Promotional Prices (not mispelled) stating that I was a confirmed winner of the Megawin North American, Consumer Cash Promotional Draw conducted on 10/20/2006. My name was attached to a ticket with serial number in the amount of $45, 000.00.
Winners were selected through a computer generated ballot system through credit/debit card account holders from Merchants Point of Sale Pool.
Enclosed was a check for $1966.33 which was to be deposited into checking account, wait for clearance and used to pay taxes on the $45,000.00.
Called the bank (TCF National Bank Illinois Branch) for verification and was told by Integrated Payment Systems that the check was not valid and would not be honored.
Called the company that issued the check and informed them I would not be able to deposit the check due to the bank not honoring it. The lady put me on hold and then proceeded to tell me that some checks were canceled due to someone duplicating winning checks but I would be issued another check in 5-7 business days with the same instructions.
When you call this company the recording will ask for your name and then the person who answers will ask if it is your first time calling. I guess they will not answer if you call more than twice.
