Loto Quebec have nothing to do with this!

It's the "Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux" that rules the contests and drawings.

But yeah, I'm bored myself 'cause I'm from Quebec too and I can't enter in a lot of contests.

[mtlnorm]

The question should not be whether the Regie is extorting contest holders, you should be asking why RedFlagDeals.com & NCIX.com, both of whom do business with Quebecers, can't be bothered to register with the Regie and offer the contest to Quebecers?

The contest was only finalized a few days ago, so there wasn't time. Sorry.

It's always like this...we never can enter the NCIX wishlist contest.

who won the last $1000 1?

Question about the " NCIX 10th Anniversary: Create & Win $500 NCIX Wish List!"

In the rules it says :

5. If an item is on sale, the regular price will be used to calculate the wish list total. DO NOT USE SALE PRICES.

6. If an item has an applicable rebate, it MAY NOT be subtracted from the Wish List total. All Wish List item prices must be before Mail-in Rebates.

I just want to confirm, does this also include "Instant Rebate" which many NCIX itmes have in the description but the price column shows the price after the instant rebate. So for example is the item below ok (or is it not ok because without instant rebate it is over $500) ?

I believe you can find the winner in the previous promotions forum.

Anyways, I had two questions. Is it okay to modify your wish list once its in a thread? Also, can you include items that NCIX currently does not have, like the physics cards?

Yes, and no.

[sxz]

Yes, and no.
How come you can't include items which are not released yet (namely physics cards)? Since the draw for the contest is on May 13, 2006, the physics cards should be out by May.

If they have a price and are placing preorders, you can include it.

[THE JEW (RaVeN)]

I always wondered how you guys selected the winner (ie. the "randomly chosen" method). Any way you could shed some light on that or would that compromise the method used?

We use a random number generator.

[darkwolf0982]

how does that work if u can tell us

[sxz]

how does that work if u can tell us

Write a small program that'll spit out a random number between 1 to x # of threads. Then whatever thread corresponds to that number is the winner.

[Balduno]

Does it have to be on an item in stock? Some items say not available, are those allowed to be on our wishlists?

Thanks.

If you want, but if you win you might have to select something else.
