Depends how much you weigh. If you're a highly evolved hamster, then deal. If you're just some run of the mill "human" probably not.

We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't. - Frank Howard Clark
The wise man doubts often, and changes his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubts not; he knows all things but his own ignorance.
The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!” Professor Brian Cox

Screw taxes. Seriously. They make GW look cheap. It sucks that we're getting fined for being lucky. Automatically Appended Next Post: Ruberu wrote:huh, after I found out the taxes on this will be like $1200, I don't think I want a ticket.

You get taxed on all prizes you receive, technically.

Meh, it just means I get a smaller tax refund next year. Considering what I tend to spend my tax refunds on anyway, I think I'm coming out ahead!

Out of curiosity as to what exactly $65 or whatever you need to enter would cost, I visited the webstore for the first time since.. I think 2010..
Does anyone else find it annoying that any time you click anything the page snaps all over the place? If you want to look at bits.. and you check backpacks.. and then you want to look at vehicle upgrades.. you click that and it snaps back to the top and you have to scroll back down and uncheck backpacks..
Then if you want to clear all of the bitz it closes the bitz menu and you have to scroll back down and re-open it.
Didn't they pay some absurd amount of money for this webstore?

Yes the actual utility of the website is terrible. But hey it cost over a gorillion pounds so IT HAS TO BE WORTH IT... right? right?

Tickets are split among regions. 1 Ticket a region.
And the reason you don't get the whole "i can send in for my free entry thing IS" it's not a sweepstakes. Rules are different.
lol..don't blame GW for taxes..blame the IRS.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I take that back...I'm on the US website, and it says 1 out of 2 tickets found... so I'm guessing there are two tickets for NA? Then again, I don't know what they define as a region...

So the other NA ticket won't be found until the last day of the promotion, just so everyone keeps trying, right?

does the golden ticket pop up when you order, or does it come with the product you ordered?

Unless you live in a hovel with your loser parents and all your grandparents the chances of winning a remaining ticket are slim to zero.
