The codes don't work anymore because they noticed the huge influx of sweepstakes entries within the first few hours of the site going up. They figured, "wow, we should probably put a stop to these internet low-lives who have nothing better to do than crack our codes and get more entries than they should have".
At least, that's my theory d:
I assume you're talking about people who are using multiple emails/identities to get more than the normal 24 entries. Personally, I would hope that they already had something in place to deal with such people, since it would have been foolish NOT to expect cheaters.
Personally, I suspect, given this is the first day, that it's some sort of error occurring due to the heavy load of people entering the codes all at once. It would certainly explain why some of the codes that failed for me initially eventually worked after a number of attempts. Give it a few days, and I'm sure that, after the heaviest amount of traffic ebbs, and their web developers crack-down on those errors, it'll be back to normal.
