Ever get the suspicion that you're entering a promotional contest with no chance of winning? How about the feeling that someone is taking advantage of your love of football and beer? How about both at the same time?

Well, there are others who agree, and they're doing something about it.

Lead plaintiff Mario Aliano says he bought a Coors Light case because of the promotion -- a chance to win two NFL tickets and other prizes -- but found out his prize code was invalid. He says there have been hundreds of consumer complaints ignored by Coors, who issued five million defective tickets and gave no notice they didn't work.

Coors didn't immediately return a request for comment.
