Just saw the puffy shirt ep, and I think it was pretty obvious George didn't lie about winning the contest. He would've found a different way to word it had he lost. In their own way (George proclaiming to a total stranger he'd won, and showing everyone but George give up in the contest ep), I'm sure the writers have always meant that George won.
George didn't lie

Not a total stranger. A stranger at George's new job. A place where George might want to impress people. A place where George might LIE to impress people. I couldn't tell if that was supposed to be the manager or just a co-worker, but if it was a lie, it would have been completely within George's character.
Well, in The Contest, George and Jerry both weren't "Masters of their domain" at the same time, so the logical thing is that Jerry gave in and George, knowing that he would win 350 dollars (free money, said that he hadn't given in yet.
Since he probably won it wasn't a lie. They never told who won for sure, but it had to be either George or Jerry. I think this was the writers way of telling everyone that George won. Dave wrote in message ...
