STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TumTiki (www.tumtiki.com), the largest online video library of TV Episodes, Movies, Local Content, Clips and Original Web Series, announces a special contest around free episodes from popular Showtime series. Beginning January 6th, viewers who log into TumTiki and watch free episodes of the SHOWTIME series CALIFORNICATION, SHAMELESS and HOUSE OF LIES can unlock special badges featuring Showtime stars and be entered into a sweepstakes drawing to win great prizes.
As part of the TumTiki sweepstakes, three winners (one for each episode) will be chosen at random and receive a suitcase filled with premium items valued at $500 and centered around one of the featured shows. Items will include, but are not limited to, full season DVD sets and apparel and novelty items. Viewers must watch free episodes by January 23rd and winners will be announced by February 1, 2012.
The premiere episode of Season 2 of SHAMELESS, the hit show about a dysfunctional Chicago family and the premiere episode of Season 5 of CALIFORNICATION, Showtime’s comedy-drama about a troubled novelist and his many personal dramas, will be available at TumTiki.com beginning on January 6th and will run through January 23rd.
