- 8 weeks of questions. First set starts 2/14. Basically you will need to log in once a week from the sound of it.

- answer the five "trivia" questions and you get an entry into that weeks drawing AND an entry into the grand prize drawing. If I read the terms correctly you don't even have to answer the questions correctly... log in weekly and submit something for each of the 5 questions to get your entry

- limit 1 entry per person, per week. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't make sure your loved ones shouldn't have an account as well . The basic rules are you should be 21, a smoker/tobacco "user", not live in MA or MI and for the grand prize not be a convict or practicing being a convict.



So, to take part and get in some easy ass drawings for some chances at some pretty decent prizes:



1. sign up at Marlboro.com (can be a pain, especially if you have moved in the last few years, as they have to verify your identity and age and such, legally)

2. log in and sign up for the Snus Challenge. You will get 20 $1 Snus coupons just for signing up. If not a Snus user, trade them to local bums for favors. Answer for the first question (Marlboro Snus is...) = "All three". Choose to accept the coupons regardless if you need them...the more Marlboro thinks/is confirmed you are a smoker/tobacco user, the better chances you have at getting invited for the ranch trip (regardless of the challenge prizes) .

3. log back in the week of 2/14 (weeks start on Mondays for this) and answer the 5 questions. Be sure to submit an answer for all 5 questions.

4. ????

5. Profit (if lucky)



Here are the prizes for each week. Even if you don't want a specific weeks prize, it's worth the extra grand prize entry to do it every week.

You don't have to be a smoker but can just lie about being one .



Not only do they have huge promotions like the last one (1 million cash winner plus TONS of great freebies...I ordered a netbook, for example), (baldy=I've received 4 custom drinking glasses, 2 fancy metal cig cases, a coleman cooler, coasters, coupons, nice bottle opener) they also give out all kinds of freebies throughout the year for no reason at all...just to get you to log in and ask for it. Thinks like bottles of hot sauce, rustic bottle opener, hoehner harmonica, canteen...all kinds of quality crap. (baldy=I just submitted an offer for free leatherman-like multitool)



If you want to take part be sure to go create an account on Marlboro.com. It's a bit of a process since you have to prove who you are and that you are 21 but once you are in it's easy. If you have a wife/husband/family who is 21 and lives with you make an account for them too...even more free stuff .



Beyond all the frebies there is also always the very limited chance you will be randomly invited to the Marlboro ranch...a 3 or 4 day trip where they pay for your travel and pretty much every single thing you would need while there. They even send you some nice luggage and a check for a grand or so to cover taxes for the "prize" to make sure it's completely free. No one knows how they choose who to invite but you can see pics/stories of people who have gone online and it looks amazing! That's what I really want to "win" myself



If you actually happen to smoke you can of course get lots of free coupons and such too lol.

Also, be sure to check the "offers" at the top. Usually there are coupons there every month or so. Probably a good idea to request them regardless if you will use them. Makes it look like you are a good customer lol. But some people have reported that they got invited to apply for "team marlboro" which actually sounds kind of cool so check to see if you were one of them.
