Is there a way to block the whiners in the contest thread who do nothing but post sad faces and whine if they dont win something for a week? I feel like throwing up when I see full grown men constantly posting sad faces because they havent won something in a week.

i was wondering the exact same thing. with the amount of prizes to be won and notifications of prizes given out, ive only seen a couple posted. maybe it takes a few days to get emails out?

We've been winning a lot of medals (yay!) so I'm sure there's some prize winners here. BTW, the iPhone app is very buggy...

hi! Has anyone in Ontario received their Kokanee prizes yet? I think I'm going to send them a terse e-mail.

Those posts don't bother me because after seeing/reading them I know I am not alone on the island.

Could it be because you only qualify for the secondary prizes by downloading apps?alexle wrote: ↑Did anyone win anything from this contest lately?

These rules are a bit odd:
To enter for the Grand Prize, on the registration page you must check the box to indicate you want to enter for the Grand Prize trip to Sochi, Russia. Please see 3 for eligibility criteria for the Grand Prize.
All App downloads or signups via the website during the Secondary Prize Period automatically count as an entry in the Secondary Prize draws.

... and people who complain that they only won $16,000 worth last year compared to $25,000 the year before. I'd love to win even just $100 annually.

But the thing is you don't need someone to post "they're on a dry spell" to know you're not alone on the island. It's named the "contest win's" thread for a reason and it should only be used for that imo. And also for congratulating the poster for their win obviously

My kids always laugh at me because I get excited even over a $2 prize. I must say that I have won some nice prizes including trips. My goal is to try and win 1 prize a month not matter what the value of the prize is. I'm always happy when others win and I guess that's why I'm a sucker for watching wheel of fortune or let's make a deal. I love hearing about other peoples wins and for those that haven't won anything here's hoping that this is your year!

The best SNL skit in the long history ( IMHO )
It never fails to make me belly laugh.
It was sounding great, but I could have used a little more cowbell.

Looks like they contacted the Wiser's finalists, so I guess I didn't get picked. Sadface. Anyone here make it? If so, you have the power of my vote behind you.

Question: I am curious...
In reading the rules online for some contests offering all-inclusive trips, the rules state "not included: transportation fees, taxes and service charges.. currency and fuel surcharges, etc..."
If you look online the "fees" are in the range of $400 to $450 per person on top of the package price per person (I was looking at sunquest.ca)
If you win the prize do you have to pay that much in taxes in fees when you book your trip?
When I won an all-inclusive trip package on-air from a radio station... we were not out of pocket anything for our trip.
But when you win online, you pay those extra fees after you win?

It all depends on the sponsor-regardless of the method of entry; I won three online trips and I did not have to pay anything out of pocket even though two of those contest said that the extras like taxes are additional and not included in the prizeTriever wrote: ↑Question: I am curious...
