I just checked the rules and it indicates that the draw was to be held on November 1st. It also says that the winners have 7 days to respond, so maybe they're still waiting for people to reply before posting a winner's list?

:confused:

Contest was void in Quebec but I entered just because their lazy web guy couldn't be bothered to remove Quebec from the list :razz:

emailed them. it just seems suspicious that the contest was posted in this forum, for rfd members, and no one has posted a win out of all of us... and 25 prizes...???

Everyone's been busy lately. But you're right, usually there's a thread for winners and we post up what we won. Newegg held that $50GC at the beginning of the year and several RFDers won.

They've posted this message: "The contest has ended! Winners will be contacted via email on November 2nd, 2009!" see link here: http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/main.php/halloween/contest?PIID_1081_0=rfd_banner_home

They've already emailed the winners. I wasn't one of them as I didn't get an email. :( It just takes time for contests to post winners list. I think they're just waiting for the winners to send back release forms.

So who are the lucky 25? :mad: Joking. :D:lol:

We've heard from the majority of the winners.

You have to remember that most people who visit the site don't come to the forums at all and only a percentage of those that do visit the forums go to the contest forum.

But did you draw all 25 on time and if so did you draw again or do you draw a extra amount the first time and when you did not get a reply from someone on the first group of names you brought up a reserve person. Also did winners get to pick what prize they wanted?

Yes, they were all drawn on time. There was a redraw for those that didn't respond on Monday.

Winners were randomly awarded a prize.

We'll post the winners when we've heard from everybody.

So does this mean if there are still some no respondents come this Monday you will draw yet again?

Yes. There were 5 people who hadn't responded last I checked. We draw until everything is given away. It can take a couple months sometimes. Don't enter contests with emails you don't check! :)
