QUOTE
This is the hardest email SurvivorStakes has ever had to send, but it needs to be done. As of 1200am, Feb. 1st, 2002 SurvivorStakes must be closed forever. We've always had two goals for SurvivorStakes -- make a fun, free game that lets real people win cash on the internet, and make enough money from advertising to pay for prizes and still have enough left to put dinner
on the table.
SurvivorStakes has been a great success on the first point -- thousands of people have won tens of thousands of dollars in cash prizes on
SurvivorStakes in the past year. Many more will surely win before January 31st. But we haven't been able to meet our second goal; SurvivorStakes
simply hasn't been able to put dinner on our table. It's been hard, but we've come to realize that SurvivorStakes will never be able to do that. As much as we enjoy bringing SurvivorStakes to you -- like everybody else we
have to pay the bills.
Everyone who wins a prize on SurvivorStakes will still receive prompt payment for their wins. Even if you win the grand prize at 11:59pm on Jan
31st, you will receive your check. This includes Bonus Buddy wins. However SurvivorStakes will no longer accept new players or new Bonus Buddies.
We're still committed to our two goals -- that's why we've taken what we learned from SurvivorStakes and created a new game -- LuckyDuck. We think it's light-years more fun than SurvivorStakes ever was, and that it can help
us make winners out of all of you and out of us too. Please come over to http://www.luckyduck.com and give it a try.
Best wishes to you from everyone at SurvivorStakes!
Sincerely,
John Acres
CEO SurvivorStakes
