I think if the kid gets his prize taken away from him, he'll learn something valuable about life.

i didn't participate in the contest, but I think it would be lame to see some kid steal everybody's hard work and end up winning.

Here's a grand prize for ya... A kick in the head

Wow, lots of new posts overnight.

Anyways, just to make things clear, I am not trying to "defraud" the people administering the sweepstakes. They will know that the name on the affidavit/W9 forms and the name originally registered on the Vanishing Point site is different.

Forums cannot be used as real evidence. I say in my profile that I'm 15 years old, but how do you know that I'm not lying?

All in all, we'll just have to wait and see what MK people decide to do. If I get the prize, great! If not, well, it's not like I ever expected it anyways.

Too everyone who says I'm stupid by posting my win here, you're probably wrong. I knew that people would start realizing I'm under 18 and the sweepstakes was open to people 18+. The reasons I wanted to post that I "won" were:

1. I wanted to get your guys' opinion on whether or not MK will accept my dad's signature and stuff. Some of you have said maybe, and some have clearly said no.

2. Someone said that I don't understand what I'm risking by posting my win in here. What am I risking? I have nothing to lose, only Dell or Alienware PCs to gain.

Look Jason, you are a smart and bright kid, we all know that many folks like you, I mean under 18,

participated in the game, the big issue and what makes you not that smart is that you won and made

it public that you didn't follow the rules.

Where this is gonna end, who knows, but you are flat wrong, these days anything can be used as

evidence, your "digital fingerprint" is all over the net, so as I said before stop spinning the wheel,

lay down and keep sharpening your pencils for the calculus test.

As you are apparently under age, the notary will propably not exemplify your signature, unless your legal guardian will sign too, which will certainly cause astonishing reactions by the game makers. Then it would be obvious that you violated the participation conditions, which might lead to a potential disqualification.

Since we have photo's of the original package, we have a reference number :)

FTP222...I remember seeing a picture of Jason's letter on top of a DHL envelope, but where was the picture of the package itself with the reference number? I think that I missed that one. Was it in this "Prizes!" thread (which page) or elsewhere?

He posted it on his flickr page.

It's weird, I should really take that link down because it exposes peoples' addresses but the cat's out the bag now so I see no point. Unfortunate they've been this lax though, that's pretty poor on the part of MK.

If you follow the links off DHL's site you can go so far as to see peoples signatures...FOIPOP
