Ace in the hole

The next time you buy a roll of LifeSavers, look before you lick. If your candy has no hole, it could win you one of five Volkswagen Beetles or a “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” CD-ROM game. No purchase is necessary, though. To enter, send a 3-by-5-inch card or paper with your name, address, date of birth and phone number in a business-size envelope to: LifeSavers Win the Hole Thing, P.O. Box 1091, Maple Plain, MN, 55593-1091. Deadline is March 22, 2002.
