Car contest incentives- Matching Numbers?

I'm sure many people around the area have received some bulky envelops or pamphlets for contests for matching numbers from various car dealers. Basically, if you have a matching number (after you scratch it off) on the mail item itself, you would have to go to the dealership between certain days to get your prize (sounds like it's first come first serve), varying from Cash prizes, a Car (grand prize) and more. I received two, one from Galaxy Toyota and Sansone Jr's 66 Automall, which both had matching numbers. These sound like  scams to me. For anyone who also received them and wants to take their chances, be careful being that there are lots of similar scams from all over the country.
