Microsoft Office Live Workspace Sweepstakes

So, I signed up to use Microsoft Office Live Workspaces -- which is kinda like Google Docs in the sense that it makes your documents available online -- well, kinda. Anyway, I guess I automatically got entered in the associated "sweepstakes" and I won! I got an email (to my junk email address, since I use it to sign up for ANYTHING online) letting me know that I had been chosen as a daily winner... here's what I won:

The Daily Prize is: One (1) 12 pack of 12 ounce cans of Diet Pepsi MAX. Daily prize to be awarded in the form of a product coupon good for one (1) free 12 pack of 12 ounce cans of Diet Pepsi MAX. Coupon may be redeemed at participating U.S. retailers. Coupon expires July 31, 2008. (Approximate Retail Value "A.R.V." $3.50 each).

Unfortunately, I don't check my junk email account very often, so I didn't redeem it in time. However, I don't really like Diet ANYTHING, so it's all the same to me. Not to mention -- WHY is Microsoft giving away Diet Pepsi MAX as a prize in a sweepstakes?? Odd Indeed.
