It's Easy To Win -- 5/5/2009 - Super Bill Tuesday!

[Hank]

Hello Everyone,

I've teamed up with an exciting new ONLINE GAME SHOW, called "It's Easy To Win!"... and it actually is "easy to win". All you need to do is watch for a chance to play their game "State your Case", as well as several other instant winner games. Please see this site for details on It's Easy To Win (http://cfa-content.delivra.com/he/vo.aspx?FileID=6ea5b37f-caf0-42eb-8683-a66019774583&MemberID=342700881&MailID=8698171) at 9:00PM ET.

Here is a link to the site: It's Easy To Win (www.itseasytowin.com)

I am working closely with the owner and host of the game show, and I've visited the studio as well. I can assure you all that just like Where's George?, this game is free, fun, and has no strings attached.

The game works like this: Once you register and go to the LIVE GAMES page, you'll see a live video stream of the game show. The host Eric will randomly pick one of the people watching the show to play the next round. You can use your computer microphone, or you can call in the 800 number provided to you if you are selected.

Once you call in (if you're selected), all you need to do is select one of the numbered cases, and any of the 50 states. If the license plate of the state you select is inside the case, you win!

There are other ways to win during the game, but you'll have to watch to win.

In the future, ItsEasyToWin will be running "private" games just for Where's George? users, and the added bonus will be that Eric will randomly select ONE WG user who has been "active" (the "your bills" definition of active on WG) within the last week (or possibly month, we're not sure yet) to win $1000, or possibly $5000! You'll have to be watching to win, though.

Once you register, there are other games you can play on the website.

If you have any questions about the site, or the game, please use the new It's Easy To Win forum (http://forums.wheresgeorge.com/forumdisplay.php?f=40).

Good luck!

I really like the game show, but leaving Sunday night, and having it on Tuesday leaves me out. My work hours wil not allow mw to join in anymore:(, but such is life, Good luck to all the Georger's who can join in.

[BuickMackane]

I work evening shift on weeknights and my schedule keeps getting pushed back later and later. I'm still cheering for Eric and hope he gets a sponsor so he can go back to doing a Sunday show -- good luck to all tonight!!

[JMoo]

Question about the Super Bill part: is it ok to mark a winning bill before sending it in, or should it be left as is? I'm guessing it's ok, but I want to make sure.

[Hank]

That's fine - marked or unmarked.

[Go Pokes]

this tonight. may take some time to get the hang of it

[Jan]

this tonight. may take some time to get the hang of it

[Moo Moo]

Good luck everyone.

[Bison Dave]

At least I have sound tonight. Mic check

[Go Pokes]

How do we tell if you are in the right spot?

[Moo Moo]

How do we tell if you are in the right spot?

Two ace cards and poker chips

[umass98]

[Jan]

Now you should see Eric and Victoria

[Hank]

Sound and video are GREAT tonight.

[Go Pokes]

.

[10_Pin_Mama]

looks better than it had been

[Go Pokes]

into this thing?

[Jan]

WOOHOO

Yep, we're back to normal!

[umass98]

Jan we will never be back to normal

[Jan]

into this thing?

All $1 bills entered from midnite to 7 pm on Tuesdays... at the end of the show Eric pulls out a random entered bill from the data base.. and you got 3 min to call or 30 min to email if you have the bill!!

[Go Pokes]

It's only the $1 bills, not the others

[Jan]

Jan we will never be back to normal

Hmmm speak for yourself my dear LOL!

[JMoo]

Entered 292 bills today.

Good luck everyone.

:)
I entered 267 myself. Most in one day, I think for me.

[Jan]

It's only the $1 bills, not the others

yes, just 1's

[Dave From Central MAss]

My video is getting choppy.

[Jan]

I entered 267 myself. Most in one day, I think for me.

I don't enter anymore for the show than I would any other time

sooo yep, guess my chances are not so great with entering 15 bill LOL!

[Go Pokes]

I had spent most of the larger stuff I entered, today. like I would win it anyway

Is somebody to use Socket Pocket in a phrase?

[YB]

Sound and video are GREAT tonight.Yes they are, but regardless of Refreshes, no Chat box or Tote board.

[Black John Flint]

They pick the top row so we see a bit more of Victoria!

[secretagentbill]

Well, I'm not going to make the show tonight. I just got home a little bit ago from visiting my brand new niece in the hospital! I love IETW, but it's just one more thing I couldn't squeeze in tonight! Good luck to everyone and hopefully I catch next week.

[Jan]

They pick the top row so we see a bit more of Victoria!


AHEM!!!! :p

[Dave From Central MAss]

My video is more off than on now. :mad:

[otis89]

The video is lagging way behind the chat box for me. I'm seeing the new contestant being picked about half a minute to a minute before Eric says anything.

IT's always like that for me... nothing new

[otis89]

IT's always like that for me... nothing new

There's always a little lag, but it's never been this bad for me before.

[Moo Moo]

frozen :bang:

[Jan]

UGH!!

Just saw audrey type .. stream is stuck..

yep.. no movement... no sound anymore for me :bang:

[umass98]

it was going sooooo good, and then crash

[otis89]

Now the video has completely died for me. :mad:

And I see I'm not alone.

[YB]

Now the freeze at 9:24PM.

[Go Pokes]

What in a few years all the internet will act like this, because of the traffic

[Hank]

Jan -- call Eric and tell him the stream froze!

[JMoo]

frozen here too

What happens to the Super Bill portion if they can't get the feed back up?

[Bison Dave]

Oh NO I lost sound and vidio. :(

[YB]

It's our ISP... you know, the one we just all happen to have ;)

[Jan]

What in a few years all the internet will act like this, because of the traffic


yep... not working again geeeeez louise!

[newwave]

If the stream stays frozen, will someone post the winning bill here? (Is that allowed?)

[BamaDaisy5]

I blame Jan.

[Hank]

frozen here too

What happens to the Super Bill portion if they can't get the feed back up?


We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

[10_Pin_Mama]

frozen here too

[Hank]

If the stream remains frozen, I will post the winning serial number here.

[Moo Moo]

The contestants names are up but they are still frozen.

[Bison Dave]

I blame Jan.

Streaming is really SHORT on the receiving end here. :bang:

[Jan]

If the stream stays frozen, will someone post the winning bill here? (Is that allowed?)

Uhhh if it's frozen.. how is someone gonna post it??
Hank, didn't you notify Eric last show we were messed up??

I blame Jan.

SMaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

I'm one of their BIGGEST supportors tyvm!! :p

[newwave]

Uhhh if it's frozen.. how is someone gonna post it??
Hank, didn't you notify Eric last show we were messed up??

Well, I was hoping that someone (Hank?) would have the winning number...

[Hank]

Uhhh if it's frozen.. how is someone gonna post it??
Hank, didn't you notify Eric last show we were messed up??

I'll post it HERE instead of the show.

Yes, I notified him, as did hundreds of other people.

[Jan]

dmnnn this just takes all the fun out of the show when we make sure we clear our schedules, supper, whatEVER... and it doesn't work!
I understand what the problem could have been last time, but when it's more than just a few of us.. then it's just not right!! :(

[BamaDaisy5]

SMaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

I'm one of their BIGGEST supportors tyvm!! :p

I figured as much since it was you that got me curious.
That's why I blame you. :p

[Bison Dave]

LAST CALL TIME

[JMoo]

Has anybody tried to call? If so, what are they saying?

[BamaDaisy5]

Guess I need to start entering bills again if I want a change to win. ;)

[KAT]

still frozen here, anyone back on yet?

[Go Pokes]

Nope

[umass98]

i got nothing but a busy signal and a frozen screen

[Bison Dave]

I keep getting busy signal

[Bison Dave]

back up yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

[Jan]

WOW>. we got it back!!

[Moo Moo]

yea...:D

[umass98]

we're back

[Hank]

yeah, back up here, too.

[Go Pokes]

how does this section work?

[Jan]

I figured as much since it was you that got me curious.
That's why I blame you. :p

GOOOOOD! That's my job!! hehehe

[BamaDaisy5]

What's the telephone number?

[JMoo]

how does this section work?
You guess a case number that eric's phone might be hidden in. You have to call in.

[Jan]

I don't even try to call.. I can't EVER get in!!!

[BamaDaisy5]

GOOOOOD! That's my job!! hehehe

Getting kickbacks? :p

[Go Pokes]

Does the number stay the same? If so what is it?

[Jan]

Getting kickbacks? :p

Dmnnnn don't I WISH!!! :eek:

I HAD my 3 min of fame already ROFL!

[JMoo]

It's still VERY choppy for me. The audio is ok but the video keeps cutting out.

[BamaDaisy5]

The telephone number must be a closely guarded secret... :confused:

[Jan]

OMG she got the case!!

[JMoo]

I don't even try to call.. I can't EVER get in!!!
I got through once, which is one more time than my name has been picked, so this is pretty much my only chance, since I never get the chat box to work anymore.

[umass98]

aaaahhhhh booooo. lost again

[Bison Dave]

None of my 06's counted as they were posted after 7. So its not mine.

[BamaDaisy5]

That was cool.

So, who won?

[Moo Moo]

Not mine...:(

[Bison Dave]

For next week the number is 1-866-491-0035

[JMoo]

All that entering and nada. Oh well, until next week.

Here's hoping for ZERO freezes. :cool:

[YB]

...Yes, I notified him, as did hundreds of other people.Thanks for representing!

Did anybody consequently hear back from Eric? Didn't Flo get picked, but she couldn't see/hear thru the freeze?

[JMoo]

That was cool.

So, who won?
We won't know until Hank announces. It's very possible that nobody won, in which case it would roll over until next week.

[Mama Lama]

In the beginning the show was going great , but then my feed was frozen after contestant #6 , even after I refreshed and rebooted several times :(. I missed the last 1/2 of the show! This is getting annoying!!! :mad:

Where there any WG winners? :confused:

[Hank]

Well, I thought we were going to have a winner, but looks like not tonight!

I'll announce the bill in an hour.

[Jan]

what a bummer there was problems again...

BUT

BUT


TWO weeks in a row STILL won't hinder my watching

Don't understand how well it went for 6 mths, and now pooh
They'll work it out!! :D

[NJJenLyn]

Don't understand how well it went for 6 mths, and now pooh

[Jan]

I'm sure it's just a short snag.;)

[10_Pin_Mama]

ya know... you're all going to hell in a hand basket.. cept I'm snatching that hand basket at just the opportune moment :p

Won't it be easier for you to catch?

[Go Pokes]

We could refer an expert for thier _____ snag

[Go Pokes]

For the # info and to all the others who helped the noob

[Uncle_Joe]

I was working and missed the superbill # was it mine?

[Hank]

Nope, sorry!

[teej]

[Go Pokes]

That it was west of me.

[P3 in Michigan]

I tried 3 times and it would not work so I gave up. I'm not spending my whole night trying to make it work. I don't think I'll even bother next week.... I don't have the time to waste staring at a frozen computer!

[Hank]
