Ahh...sorry to hear that. Yeah they are using a marketing ploy but there has to be a prize bigger than that out there for some lucky person. Have they been calling? I prefer Duracell to all other batteries, but never enter contests anyway. (now the lottery...that I am a sucker for)

Throw them away. You have to enter your name, address, email address, date of birth and a phone number plus the number inside you pack to see if you'e won a prize. You have. You've won a free screensaver to download! What a good way to collect details for "direct marketing" as junk mail and phone calls are called to make them sound acceptable. I tried with 3 numbers and entered fictitious details. All "won" a freen screensaver.
