Abstract

By constructing an actual product in a distinctive and readily identifiable manner and distributing the uniquely constructed product with conventional products, a unique prize winning notifier or indicator for a promotional contest is realized. Preferably, each prize notifying or indicating product is manufactured as an actual, individual product, using generally conventional production method, and comprises a unique, distinguishable, feature or characteristic which designates such products as prize winners. As a result, prize identifying products are packaged and sold in direct association with non-prize related products, without any degradation, contamination, or other difficulties as previously encountered with prior art systems or promotional vehicles.
