Festival Deals and giveaways: Know anyone who won a bumper prize or a Car?

Festival season in India - including Diwali and Dussera - came and went. To promote the sales, many large retailers offered Cars,  Fridges and other luxury items Festive season has gone but some of the adverts and banners continue to linger (picture Above and below, dated 8th Nov 2017) If you have won a 'Bumper Prize', share your experience. The banners and display of cars raise questions: Do you know anyone who won the 'Bumper Prize' or a Car?   Is this yet another marketing ploy by businesses to entice customers to buy? Worse yet, is this a large-scale scam to hoodwink consumers?  Who verifies and audits the 'prize distribution' ?
