DNA Bangalore — Contest

DNA has declared the winners of the contest they had launched last year for those who subscribed to their annual subscription offer.They have published the winning numbers in their newspaper of 18th sept. As per the coupon issued they had promised to have a draw within one month of the newpaper hitting the stands in bangalore, which it did on 14th december 2008.

After a delay of 9 months few people i doubt even remember this contest. Now the newspaper results dont say whether the numbers published are the numbers of the annual subscription booklets or of the coupons they had issued along with them. BY what is printed on the back of the coupon is that the coupon has to be produced in original to claim the prize. The newspaper says that the booklet needs to be produced.

This is another of DNA's dubious records. I dont think that the numbers that have won the top prizes i.e toyota innova, ten lakh cash prize are genuine enough.

If they wrere honest enough they would have held it in january itself.

I agree with this comment, and if the numbers were to be announced it could have been announced in Ascending order so that, with in seconds people could have checked wheather the number of their's is present or not. Just have a look at the newspaper, do you expect people to search for the numbers in those two pages, probably more 30k numbers are listed. Would you preserve at ticket/coupon which doesnt show the exact date of the draw? Was the subscriber notified that the results will be announced in Sep 2009, when the coupon was provided in the month of Nov 08? Atleast the updates were to be posted on Newspaper.

Keeping promises is definitely in their DNA...

But, Do you have it in your DNA to Fight back from always being cheated by one or other ways?


It would have better been if they would not have announced the results, Anyways i had forgotten about this contest long back.
