Just curious because it's unusual for a couple of relatively small amateur sites to award prizes of this nature and it would be easy to rig for the exposure without an unbiased and non affiliated third party overseeing it and verifying things. Should i win though i'll post a followup confirming it's legit since i know i'm not in on it ;-)
You are right, i would assume most stuff like this would be rigged. I also believe that *legally* they cannot even do the drawing like this. Someone else will have to fill me in, but for prizes over a certain ammount, there are a set of procedures you need to follow, things need to be audited etc etc. Doing it wrong = Fraud.
