The list was long, and ventured beyond candy bars — Prize 94 was four Green Monster tickets, with a chance to watch the first inning from behind the Fenway Park scoreboard, and 97 was $31,000 in cash. On another page, called “Weth wants to give you Ice Cream,” he organized group meetings at Cold Stone Creamery so he could chip away at a $1000 gift certificate.
This year, in lieu of posting his winnings, Weth is providing links to interesting contests so that others may enter. Up for grabs are four trips to Hawaii, 1000 Blockbuster rental memberships and 350,000 packs of popcorn, a chance to record a song for Epic Records and perform it live in Times Square, and 8000 one-day lift tickets for Stratton, Vermont. The prizes are alluring, but Weth’s not worried about increasing his competition. “Weth can’t win every prize,” he says. “Weth has already snagged seven bags of Blockbuster popcorn, but there’s plenty to go around.”
