Before Christmas I kept hearing commercials on the radio for an HVAC contractor who was giving away a free furnace to a needy family. Great idea! Apparently, anybody can submit the name of a needy candidate family. Three finalists were selected and then a winner was selected from the finalists. That’s nice for the winner, but I must be missing something. And I can’t be the only one. How do you get three families’ hopes up and then disappoint two of the families? Is this like the Baseball Hall of Fame where, if you don’t get voted in, you’re on the ballot again next year? There was no mention of runner up prizes. Hopefully the second and third place families get a space heater or some wood or something...
Hopefully this was just a poorly worded commercial and they forgot to mention the consolation prizes.
The whole process left me cold.
