Something appears to have gone wrong with a contest that Lee Jeans ran on Facebook, and the company was forced to change the rules partway through. However, instead of canceling the contest or changing the rules in their own favor, the change means that everyone who entered the contest before Wednesday, December 2, under the original rules, won automatically. Yay!

For the company’s 120th anniversary, they held a drawing where 120 people would win a free pair of jeans for each day in December. Then the rules changed.

All entrants who submitted prior to or on December 2, 2009 at 2:05 p.m. CST that have not already won, qualify for one pair of jeans from Lee. Entrants will receive a free pair of the product originally submitted for (Men’s Premium Select or Women’s Slender Secret). To obtain your jeans, please send an email to lee120promo@gmail.com by December 31, 2009. We will then verify you submitted your entry on or before 2:05 p.m. CST on December 2, 2009 and send you your jeans. No substitution, cash redemption or transfer of prize except with Sponsor’s permission (which may be granted or withheld for any reason) or where required by law. Sponsor in its sole discretion may award a substitute prize/prize component of equal or greater value if advertised prize/prize component is unavailable at time of awarding for any reason. Shipping may take 4-8 weeks. Please see full rules for more information.
