I'll try a big box. If I win cool if not at least I'll get diarrhea
I'm laughing so hard at work right now.
So I should enter at exactly the 15 minutes, not 16?
So 4, 4:15, 4:30, 445?
Not 4:01, etc?

That was pretty jerky and you were disqualified as an employee anyway.

Exposed. Just got one a few minutes ago.

Nope. The winning second is randomly generated somewhere during each 15 minute period. It could be 4:15:01, or it could be 4:19:42. Or somewhere closer to the end of the 15 minute period.
All we do know is that when that pre-determined second happens, the next code that comes in via text or browser is the winner for that 15 minute period. So your best bet is to enter your code during whatever you think is the lowest traffic time. That probably means in the middle of the night, but remember that there are four time zones and people spilling out of bars, and people trying to win by entering them in the middle of the night. Still, that's probably better than the midday lunch rush, obviously.
Good luck!

A winner was also reported on Reddit this morning: http://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/2iqzdm/holy_crap_i_won_a_destiny_bundle_the_day_after_my/
Oy, why am I doing this to myself again this year.
Did you have to chop of .5 inches? The one's I got from the post office were 3.5x5.5. They look the same as your's.

Fuck the life?
Man, that was a horrible idea. I'm one and done with this shit. My wife is set to give birth on Monday, and I feel like I'm the one pregnant. :/
Faster Than Light. Fantastic game.
Faster Than Light. Fantastic game.
$6.49 + tax here in Yonkers, NY. :/ They raised the price of the Quesarito box right when the promotion came up from $5.99.
They can get away with charging that much cause the majority of people here have money and don't give that much of a fuck about spending it. Also the nearest TB for miles.
I live only 3-4 blocks away from TB.
Damn, GAF. You have a way of making me think I could actually win one of these things.
I don't wanna eat this shit all the time. I'm thinking one meal a week while the promotion is running will give me a decent number of chances without turning me into a fatty.
How do the postcards work?

As an FYI, if you didn't notice: This time around you can only mail in one per day. Multiple entries with the same postmark date will be counted as one entry. Last year I batch mailed mine.
Entered twice, first time at around midnight PST, second at 3:30 am PST

Last year, I entered my first three codes through text on the first three days but to no avail. Those were entered at 1:54 PM PDT, 12:07 AM PDT, and 9:07 PM PDT.
As for my winning code:
So I'm not actually sure how it chooses the winner per 15 minute interval (is it every nth code or is it random every time). Best thing to do is to definitely enter in the early, early morning. Luckily I'm on the West Coast, so I don't have to stay up too late.

Last time I won at exactly 2:05am, I kept hearing that late night/early morning was the best time and sure enough.

idk what you're talking about >.>
I just want to be congratulated too. I won mine on my birthday! This year's contest is starting four days too late for a second strike though.

Can you post date ahead of time? Instead of going to the post office every day. I'm more of a UPS guy.

in my neighborhood you can just put the post card in the mailbox and put up the handle if you have a mailbox
Only one code can be used a day, as per competition rules. I guess you could use multiple emails, but then you run the risk of getting disqualified.
I thought you couldn't use the same code twice?
Near the tail-end of the contest, they release a code online that you can reuse once per day to the end. Harder chance of winning, but you don't have to buy anything.

I got a box yesterday and texted the number and all I heard back was the "reply YES to accept" message. When can I expect to hear if I've won?

Oh... huh. I didn't notice that! No, I didn't trim them (well, so far I've only sent two). Those are the same cards I sent last year though. Hmm, I guess we'll see what happens.
After you reply YES, it should be an instantaneous "Winner" or "Sorry".
