Yeah that's hhwat i was saying! U should've seen me at 415 in the morning! LOL! woke my son up to read it where it said to confirm. Asked him if i really won he said yeah mom. And so i went and looked in email an got that email! Couldn't believe it. Can't wait. I was on listia and someone actually won 2 of them and listed one to give away. Said they said it takes 3-4 weeks but it really he said only took him 7-10 days to get here! Hubby's xbox 360 got the ring of death and it's outside the 3 yrs and we can't afford to get it fixed. So this is truly a blessing for our family! It's his only form of entertainment other then the tv since he's so ill also and so it couldn't have come at a better time.
What's even funnier? I was about to go to sleep at 415 am and decided i'd go play the last # .. figured what the heck since it was the last day of the promotion and believe it or not that's when it hit.
If Pat remembers the Fabreeze last year? I won the $100 am ex card (my biggest win till now ) on Nov 28th 2009. Told hubby maybe i should play lotto using 11/28!! :) Thanks so much Yvette!: )((((HUGS)))) back at u!

Marlboro covers the shipping [same as with other contests], it's listed as you are only responsible for taxes, but you only are required to claim a prize at tax time if is over $500.00. I don't think that tax rule has been changed recently.

What confuses me is it says a (n). seems like it should be 1 word although I agree that bar stool is 2 words

At the official race site they have two words in the title when stating plural but in the text they say barstool when speaking of the required part needed to race. I have gone with one word for the resaon you suggest where Marlboro said noun, not noun with adjective. It doesn't sound right they would be looking simply for stool. Your thoughts?
 
Here is a link to the bar stool racing. They use one word barstool and two words bar stool interchangebly. (Is interchangerbly a word?) barstool is in the dictionaries and obviously bar and stool are in a dictionary. Merriam- Webster and random house both list barstool and definition for whatever it is worth. Bar Stool rules

If you look at the link the first line of the chart says "USFRA BAR STOOL CLASS RACING" The second line says "BARSTOOL CLASSES TOP SPEED BY YEAR" I am torn between the two.

Marlboro does say (n) singular as others have pointed out then they tend to lean towards "bar stool" which is singular but an adjective and a noun. Thoughts please?

It should be Ariosa and bar stool. Hope that helps.

I agree bar stool is 2 words but the clue says a (n) so i'm leaning towards barstool. a noun being singular 2 (n) would be bar stool. barstool is a (n) bar stool is 2 (n)
 
I'm going with a "bar stool".

Cup holder, tooth brush, mail box, bar stool. All officially nouns, just have 2 words to them.

I really don't think they are meaning a noun.. when they have a(n) ... and I've double checked.
That refers to ... a or an
a ..used with words starting with constantans. an ...used with words starting with vowels.
a dog ... an apple
 
bar stool (or barstool) is used as an adjetive in this clue....you wouldnt say "I am going to the bar stool"...when you really mean "I am going to the bar stool races"...races would be the noun here so that would make bar stool singular and there are several differet kinds of stools so IMHO bar stool would be 2 different words....I am not sure if bar stool should be one or 2 words but I am sure that it is not being used as a noun in this context
