Why do you say that?

Thats the number for the controllers that call you from Marden_Kane. It will come up blocked on the notification call though then for future contact they have with you afterwards, IE paperwork, faxes, waivers etc, it will be unblocked.

I have dealt with them on numerous occasions for my wins on Treasure Hunter and 2 wins on Gold Rush

I found this little nugget, so today is the day or "about" the day! :blink:

Prizes will be awarded on or about February 2, 2007 after the January 30, 2007 deadline for earning points, and the grand prize winner will be publicly announced a couple of weeks later. Once the final points are calculated, a random drawing will determine who the prize winners are, and which prizes they will receive. For complete details click here.

. . .

Edit: nv, found in the FAQ

So, what does awarded mean? Does that mean receipt of prizes or allotment of the prizes?

Autter,

I was one of the folks that didn't believe Brilo - so sorry about that and congrats.

One one question. Brilo said you entered your answer on Sunday. How did you arrive at that one Sunday? We didn't even really figure out the Hardee location until Monday. Did you "luck" into the Ivy answer on Sunday? Brilo said you guys wern't sure, so he entered Ida and you entered Ivy.

Thanks in advance for you answers.

autter211,

I was thinking about your prize, and if I were you I'd buy the domain name for your name (YOURNAMEHERE.com) and host a little site about the prize. You could even link off to your favorite sites (cough cough... neowin) and have ads. If you are in the web business at all that would be useful for you to promote stuff. Then when you get to put your name on the chip, just have them put a ".com" at the end. That will drive some traffic to your site. You can also post about your site here and elsewhere... maybe even do a press release about your winning.

They say the prize has no cash value, but you could work it into some money or at least fame for a bit.

Enjoy, and congrats!

That's a good idea.

Maybe you can go on some talk shows. Like maybe Jimmy Kimmel Live. You better get an agent.

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By Circaflex · Posted

      I noticed this was already happening within my organization; my teams location will change between remote and on-site without me having to do anything. Is it possible this is live already for select customers?

      I wonder what it will show when I'm plugged in with my ethernet cable at home and not using WiFi.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)
    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
