Ethical or Not?

[StormRichards]

That's true, you can just logically assume they would not put that disclaimer in there.
I guess my point was, if you can logically know it is probably against the rules, then it is more likely to be unethical.
In this case, they just screwed up and others will benefit from it. Perfectly fine.

Reminds me of that youtube video of that autistic guy who won on the price is right.
Totally confident he knew ahead of time how much that prize was worth and he knew he already won it. How?
He watches every single day. And saw that prize being used in another show. A pretty funny video.

All because of being able to see the codes before buying the product? Or have you gotten some randomly, too?

There were a few winners that I would have received because they were inside the first package.

I think it's ok, although I think the fine print usually would reserve the right to void wins if there are malfunctions or other errors in the contest.

If you're using artificial techniques to determine which are winners or not - xray, infrared, high powered flashlight, tearing open the package, etc. that is not ethical.

Nope, just my eyesight. And that isn't even 20/20
