Today, I received a phone call from a cruise line I had travelled on with my parents a year ago. After being told I had won a free $2,000 cruise from a sweepstakes I'd entered while on the cruise. After celebrating loudly they informed me that you have to be 23 or older to collect it. I'm 17. FML

Well how'd you enter in the first place?....this is very suspicious!! If it is true then your parents should be able to collect it for you, maybe.

Ah dude,that blowss D: get your parents to collect it ?

Have your parents accept it. I personally think it's ageist bullshit to deny you something that you won, but that's just me.

cant your parents get it for you?? & shouldnt you have known the rules before you entered it??

It's okay, it's a scam. You didn't actually win it. They're trying to sell you something. If you were 23, you still would have to jump through a lot of hoops and still might never get that cruise. Also, if you don't remember entering a contest, another good idea that you didn't really win anything other than 4 hours with a push time-share salesman.

Your squeaky voice must have made them re-tell you the age qualifications. lol

So they let you enter a competition you were too young to win? FYL.

That happened to me! When I entered, they said my parents could pick it up for me, but when I actually won they claimed they never said it and gave it to somebody else. That sucks for you.
