Not a winner at 704am est

aw suck. was using the spreadsheet.

someone won at 7:40am on 10/19 then someone else won on 7:41 on 10/20

was hoping it was a 24 hour thing 1 minute later . i missed this one up anyways. should have been 7:43 but doesn't matter.

since the 7:04 thing didn't work. (someone won 7:03 on 10/22)
 
Entered mine at 6:07AM, and 10:53AM and lost again.

Ugh, I wish I could at least get one of those delayed responses to give me hope, instead of a .5sec "sorry you lost" response everytime.

I'm 0-19. I hope I don't reach the 20's.

It's still possible that this could be correct. Maybe someone else randomly entered at 7:04 milliseconds before he did. Either that or it was just luck that the numbers lined up like that, possible that those weren't even the start times.
 
If that's correct, that means if u play at the same time everyday, u have about a 1/15 probability of winning. Somebody a couple pages ago said he did this and won on his @0th attempt so hopefully it's correct...im trying to come up with any type of strategy/logic behind this contest.

the thing with the time could be off. are these the numbers they got from their phone, their computer. or somewhere.
 
Just bought a box and they let me go with 3 regular tacos. Thank god because I didn't want to waste money on that burrito. So tempted to text now but I'll wait until tomorrow morning.
 
Those putting in codes, are you watching the clock hit the next minute when you do this? Or do you just submit the code randomly?

I'm wondering if my problem is that I watch the clock when I put my codes in or not. I will literally wait until my TV clock turns into the next minute when I enter my code, just in case the next minute is a winner.

From a programming state of view, I'm going to say that this is how it works. It would be a little overboard if they went down to the second as well... granted, not too difficult.

When I won, I had literally hit send as soon as my phone ticked over to the next minute.

I just went randomly when I won, actually I forgot to enter the code and just texted in 10 minutes after I ate. Had no idea there was a timing system involved, I feel kinda bad considering so many people have tried alot of times and I just randomly won the second time I tried. infact my brother bought some taco bell about a week before I tried and when I entered his code it was invalid, I did not even bother to try and resolve it or check for input errors, just threw it away. Keep at it guys im noticing alot of winners, for what its worth I just checked and I entered at exactly 11:53PM.

Thanks, so it seems I'm not doing anything wrong when I enter them in. I got 4 codes left so tomorrow or Friday might be my lucky day.

Wow, you got it in 2! That's some luck. I used to put mine in randomly, but I felt if I wait for the clock to tick over I'll increase my chance.
 
Are you guys actually buying this many tacos? Isn't a box 5 bucks? I've noticed some people say they've put in around 20 codes...

I bought one last night to give it a try :[ Lost. I should've taken notice on the time and stuff.

I personally did the postcards. You could send in up to 33 individual postcards to get codes back. It is a pity that more people didn't realize that.

I did buy a couple boxes, but the postcards themselves only cost me $12 (and they were prestamped so I didn't have to pay shipping!) and about an hour of writing.

Aw, had no idea about the postcard thing. Just bought another box. Not sure at what time I should give it a try ><

I purchased 11 for $4 and another time 10 for $4. I'm somewhere around 0-15, I stopped keeping track. I'm also entering in my codes as soon as the minute ticks over, if they are doing it by the second that's just insane. Too bad the spreadsheet hasn't provided any insight yet, would be nice to increase my odds before I run out again.

If you don't mind my asking, how did they ring it up? I want to one that was willing, but she didn't know how to ring up just the boxes.
 
Went again today(previous post from a Sunday visit). They had no boxes, so no code. Fuck. Dude at counter said call some # which, I have no clue what it is.
 
I was feeling lucky today so I had Taco Bell for the first time in about 12 years. Didn't win. Also, didn't eat the burrito because it was baaaaad. That crunchy taco thing was all right though.
 
been gone about a week, quickly skimmed through the pages. Are we still doing that time slot thing? or are we putting them in and hoping for the best? Also, for people using multiple codes with multiple emails. Do you think they would go through enough investigative work to see if multiple email addresses belong to the same person? I have done it before and didnt even think about it when I did it. Hopefully all my entries arent considered void now.

Told myself I was done with this contest, but the baja blast freeze pulled me back in.
 
I don't think anyone knows how agressive they may be in enforcing the rules.

If you have to fill out all of your personal information before registering via the website it would be pretty simple to check against multiple submissions. They could also check for duplucate ip addresses used in a 24hr period. Same thing with submitting entries via txt and email, if you win via txt you have to then submit your personal information which could be cross refferenced against email submissions.

My gut tells me they wont bother doing any of the above, but in theory they could.

I woke up, was laying there debating wether or not to get out of bed and then remembered it would be a good time to enter a code.. and then I won. Totally random, I didn't care about the precise time, only strategy I was using was to enter codes in the morning hours, that's it.

This thread is pretty depressing to read.

I gave up after my second attempt made me sick.
Click to expand...

Could be worse, you could have been about to submit a code, but then decided inexplicably to wait about a minute, then read later on that day that someone here won by submitting during that time you were waiting. :/
 
I tried once and didn't win, didn't eat the whole box I upgraded the drink those ice freeze things they have, those are good.

Just realized this was in EST and I'm in CST so I've been overlapping with SnakeEyez, my bad. Changed it to the 5:00-5:15 slot.
