Sounds alright. After reading the hidden car tickets this problem popped into my head that my friend is experiencing. It is basically the same problem as described in this forum thread.
"Well, like everyone else...I seem to have gotten the redbull gift car.
Problem is...I can't receive it.
I push the gift...click "YES" i would like to receive..and literally nothing happens. As if I didn't push anything."

It isn't that big of a deal but it is a little crappy since it seems like a tease. Was there a time limit on receiving it? If so then why do they keep it listed acting like it can be received.
