Hey, guys! Because things have been so topsy turvy in the 11x2 world, especially in regards to contests and prizes, I wanted to try and get some good info out there so you know what to expect.
Contests for the new month and winners for the previous month are posted to the blog within the first 7 days of the month. Winners are notified via 11x2 ticket within the first seven days of the month. You have seven days to reply to that ticket with info requested in the ticket (corrections if the info I have for you is wrong, or new info if you haven't won before).
From there YOU SHOULD RECEIVE YOUR PRIZE BY THE END OF THAT MONTH. That means, if you win in November, you should have your prize by the end of December. If you haven't received it, something went wrong and you should let me know! Most often what has happened is your email client has flagged the Amazon gift card email as "spam" and prevented you from ever getting it. We can reissue those notification emails and resolve the problem. :)
I hope this helps!
