Vizio Sweepstakes Awarding Weekly 55” HDTVs
'The Million Dollar Event' from Vizio runs from now until mid-August, with a 55-inch LCD HDTV going to a lucky winner each week.
February 04, 2009 | by Arlen Schweiger

Well “America’s HDTV company” is trying to give back to everyone who wants high-def splendor in these trying economic times.

After shelling out big bucks to be the high-def sponsor of Super Bowl XLIII, perhaps you saw Vizio’s ad run during the Steelers’ victory on Sunday. The ad and sponsorship also kicked off a campaign by Vizio, which has quickly risen up the flat-panel market ranks, to give away a million dollars’ worth of HDTVs.

The company will award 28 weekly winners with a 55-inch XVT LCD HDTV, with 1080p resolution and 120 Hz technology. (Click here to enter its “Million Dollar Event.”)

Not a bad way to say thanks, as the company proclaims it’s doing via the contest, to everyone who’s made the value play for a Vizio—whose recent plays have also been in the green and premium categories.

The first winner will be picked the week of February 23, 2009, and the last during the week of August 31, 2009. Registration ends August 14. Sounds like there’ll be plenty of competition for the TVs, as the company says website visits are up 400 percent since the Super Bowl.

I have been trying for two days now to subnit my entry and it’s not letting me in. I wonder what is going on? I would love to win a Vizio tv, can’t afford one right now due to my budget. I am on disablity from a back injury.

The Vizio sweepstakes is rigged. look at all the winners and majority of them are on the East coast especially in the New York area. if you live there you have a higher chance of winning. if you live in the middle or west, too bad for you. im going by what i see all the thumbtacks are always grouped together in the east, and spread out if it is in the middle or west.
