hi everyone i just got my dates were going jan 21-24 im so excited i heard so many good things about this ranch over the years and i heard montana is beautiful , im going with a friend it wss hard cuz it was not a weekend i work out of my house and most of my friends dont but at least one of my friends was like hell ya ill go ,so were going to have fun,fun fun lol
Sent my paperwork in and it was received 10/05. Hope it doesn't take too long to get the background done. So excited.
I also received all paperwork I almost pulled out when I called I told them I probably would be on chemo. I was told I have polycythemia vera. And that means leukemia. Anyway moral of story I will not be GOING TO the ranch. ( bummer) . Marlboro sent me a check and that's pure heaven . So I JUST wanted comment I hope you all have fun . Please post how. The trip was. Also does anyone know how TO find out the winners , is there a website TO visit I tried a lot of sites and cant find winners list for anything. I would greatly appreciate it thank you
Please does anyone know website address TO see winners list I have been looking all month. When We played the game they said it will be available after chill of the grid. They stated at the conclusion. We could go TO it
According to the "Official Rules" - The winner list will be posted after March 17, 2013, or after prizes have been awarded.
Thank you so much Jessie. Now I will stop obsessing on it . I thought I couldnt find it nowhere . I now I know why .I probably have 10 hrs of searching LOL I hope you have. A great trip
Im going jan 7th !!!!!
I am STILL waiting to hear when we'll be going. Today marks six weeks since we sent in the first set of papers. I've called a couple of times, and was told the last time (a week ago) that it can take 4-6 weeks for them to do the background check.
They sent me cash value of trip . And that really works better for me I was diagonosed with polycethimea Vera and that is leukemia I've been going to local cancer institute had none narrow biopsy waiting on results and just went on Oxegen blah blah I could go on and on
I received an e-mail mid-november stating I've won the chill off the grid trip. sent all necessary papers on Dec 3rd, so I'm still waiting for my trip date. So excited to go back.
I got an invite to Rsvp on 12.22.12 so does that mean that I'm going for sure? This is the first time I've ever gotten anything like this so I'm a little confused on how it works.
im going jan 8 - 11
Did it come on fed ex envelope . If not THATS what you will get next. They pay for overnighting it I had fed ex come to MY house Pick UP paperwork.
We were given those dates also but had it changed to Feb 14-17. Did u get it changed yet?
My name is James. Just don't have an acct w the selections it gives
James - when did they change your dates? I received our plane tickets last week, we're just waiting on the package with the luggage.
Wow they even send you luggage ?? That's the first I heard of that . What else do they give you ? Before, during , I just want to know it All . Thank you to whoever answer my questions
So. sorry I won't be able. To meet some new friends.. Hope someone post pictures of trip. Wonder where the pictures of the vegas trip , that looked like fun

I am hoping you will post pictures of the trip? I have been checking daily.....did you have as much fun as you expected?
How do you win?? where do you go to enter contest??
I entered at www.marlboro.com - they have different sweepstakes at different times of the year.
Hi I just received that I won no idea on the date yet but my friend that is going to go with me has a heart problem and she wanted me to ask how cold it is in the winter there and what all you should pack as to boots and coats or if anyone has anything else to offer me as to what to take thank you
If you will google the marlboro ranch read eveything you can, theres a lisdt of gift they give you for the winter trip of they are all alike i have read. @ coats, 1 light weight , 1 heavier, longjohns, boots, cowboy hat, 150.00 chip to spend in gift shop, canera, cigs, other things i cannot rem. oh your pull luggage, a 600.00 chk for the taxes or whatever. a 25.00 gift card to pay for luggage on board, I havent gotten trip dates yet , either jan feb march, I have ask for warmest dates b/c of muscle disease.
I won the winter contest but I just got a letter from D L.Blair and now instead of getting the trip they are going to send me a check for $4910 the value of the trip. I know that my background was good I never have been in trouble before same with my guest they work a lot with the state police but now I can go were we want and when ever we want to . Has anyone else gotten the same letter ??
I also won and I was on medication and was to start chemo after The trip. And the person I was taking with me, Works for a big law firm where we live ' She is a Legal Secretary plus more . they also called me JLBlair company. So moral of story I was also sent a check and had to pay taxes on it when I did my taxes. The check came fast. All I can think of either my illness or Because I was on medication. I explained I knew my limits to what I could do , because I got worn done easily from my diagnoses .My doctors said I could go. I really wanted to but they would not let me . only question I have is did the other person you were going to take did they also get a check. Since now they have all there information.
To anoymous I was just reading comments people with heart disease and muscle disease. It seems to me your friends works around people of power my friend I was taken with me works for the biggest and best listed in Forbes magazine Law Firm she was going with me I have been asking for awhile if anyone else got the check and your the first also.I find this very interesting I am going to leave my name in case you want to contact me . Wonder if there being predujist against people that they assume could have higher contacts makes me wonder . sounds like my meds or treatments had nothing to do with it.Sandy
Hi everyone. I found out about a month ago that I had actually won a trip to the ranch. I am so excited because I don't win things like this but now I can't say never anymore. My dates for the ranch are Feb. 16-19th. F:-) or those of you who have the same dates maybe we will meet there.
I sent my first set of paper work in on 11/23 they got it on 11/25. Today FedEx called and said they are sending me an overnight envelope from DL Blair! Its been 4 weeks just like the paper work said! I seen people saying they are getting checks for the prize value instead? I wouldn't mind that, need a new car! And I'm so glad you made this blog about it, its helped us a lot! Thanks!
If anyone that is going Feb 16-19 t, shoot me a message on fb. I am under peggyrico and live in California. I know that I am getting more excited as the days go by. did anyone get confirmation that the second set of paperwork was received? im not sure if I should call to make sure that it was received.
Official! March 21th - 24th 2014
I am going to this Wonderful ranch on March 18-March 21st. I am REALLY excited! Being the Frugal Person, I am concerned about the Taxes that I will have to pay next year. Has anyone paid over the $600 they give you? I am afraid it may be more. Any info will be appreciated! :)
You should only have to pay taxes on 100 dollars first 500 you don't have to claim be
Well we also won the trip to the ranch the value of the trip is $4,910 which we would have to pay taxes on in January 2015 and get the check in the amount of $600 how much taxes would we have to pay on the trip any help would be great
