Is this legit? (Score 1)

All traffic from that search page is routed through http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/mgcssusa0030000003gbl/ direct/01/?q=searchphrase which doesn't really make sense to me. Why would Microsoft do something like that? Secondly, the Official Rules state that you can enter by searching at http://search.msn.com/ which is my preferred method now that I know I cannot search through http://www.msnsearchandwin.com/ without going through atdmt.com. Unfortunately, the Official Rules say:

'When the Web Results of your Web Search are displayed, click the "MSN Search and Win" link located in the "Sponsored Sites" box on the Web Results page presented to determine if you are a winner.'

So this means that someone could have purchases a whole lot of phrases and been put into the sponsored links area. Try a search at search.msn.com and see if you can find the link they are talking about. I searched, 'fast cars' and no such link appeared.

Is this a hoax?
