If I'm next on the list, I'll complain like there's no tomorrow. :laugh:

I think he means proactive complaints. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if a handful of people here have contacted MK.

True story: Winner is not eligible for prize. Plain, simple, done and done.

True story: MK people are watching here and now will be alert to mismatched names on the affidavit.

True story: Picking the next winner down is a lot cheaper than potentially getting sued by someone who didn't win because the pool was 1,200 ineligible votes bigger and thus, not in accordance with the rules set forth in the sweepstakes guidelines.

But also, autter skirted the one-account-per-household rule, which I was surprised about. I think since they were two different people and both (ostensibly) actively contributing, it's been mostly overlooked, but them's were the rules, too.

I still don't know where everyone found this list of winners!

There is no such list yet. Due a snafu from MK we were able to learn the destination of some

envelopes delivered by DHL, if you didn't get one yet, most probably you are not on the top

15 first prize winners.

Hang in there and be patient for the other prizes.

OK this is the final line on this one. Please read and take note.

MK is fully aware of all situations surrounding Jason and will act in the way they see fit.

All possible lines of discussion related to this situation have now been exhausted and most posts now are simply saying the same thing, or flaming the individual in question.

For this reason, as moderator of the forum I'm requesting you now cease discussing this situation. I am quite sure Jason can see the uproar that's been caused surrounding his first place win, and now the matter is being dealt with by MK.

Nothing good can come from discussing this further. I appreciate your support and cooperation in this; let's not let this thread descend any more negatively than it has already.

Thank you! :)

I was getting so sick and tired of the discussion.

This has been brought up before. It's not 1 registration per household. The "Oficial Rules" state: Limit one (1) Registration per person per household

Audrey won fair and square.

Congrats Audrey! :yes:

Agreed. 1 per person, per household. If you have 4 family members, all 4 could have played. I think that there were only 2 outstanding questions, which really don't matter at this point:

1. Did Audrey play herself, or did her husband just have her use her account to enter an alternative answer?

2. How did Audrey or her hubby figure out Ivy as the answer on Sunday, long before 42Entertainment decided to give the 3 other clues that led us to Hardee, MS?

I'm really curious to know how many points winner people has collected in the game..Someone know that? :p

I'm not a winner (YET!), but I had 1,470 points. All four boxes completed, plus 17 referrals (real ones).

Just watch...a cluster of people who didn't even do all four boxes might win big. :pinch:

I read somewhere that the winner to the meta-puzzle didn't answer the correct answer until late Tuesday night. This can't be right, because I know for a fact a member on her (not brilo or Autter) solved the Ivy thing on Tuesday afternoon. Can't remember his name and I'm too lazy to dig back thru the posts.

Maybe that member then went and changed their answer, as only the latest answer is taken.

Well I can tell you that I got 980.

It's kinda a kick in the teeth when someone with a low score wins first prize, and many many others with the full 1300 at least, win nothing.

Congrats to you though I hope you enjoy the prize when you get it :)

Number 1 is fairly irrelevant, as far as I'm concerned. Number 2 is an easy one to answer. She guessed. When you're looking for girls names starting with I, the list isn't that big. In fact, the very first thing I did was pull up a list on the internet, look for likely names, and took an educated guess. Almost had it, too ... because I was between picking Ivy and Irene, and went with Irene, and this was fairly EARLY on Sunday. Irene then became a front-runner later that afternoon, and I was feeling pretty confident that I had it before anyone else. If only I had chosen Ivy, I would have won. As it stands, I stopped following the game after making that guess so that I couldn't be swayed into changing my answer ... and then missed the remaining clues. No sour grapes, though ... that's how these things go. :)

    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
