Donari.5237 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 From the official rules:WINNER VERIFICATION AND NOTIFICATION: The potential Sweepstakes winners will be contacted via e-mail by Marden-Kane Inc. (“Administrator”) on or about January 8, 2019. When a potential winner accepts the prize, the potential winner will receive written confirmation via email, and will be required to complete and sign (and where applicable, have notarized) an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability Release; where legal, a Publicity Release; and IRS Form W-9 (U.S. winners only), all of which must be returned within 72 hours from prize notification date or the prize will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate potential winner.We are now around two thirds through that 72 hours and I haven't seen anyone exulting yet. Perhaps there is an NDA in the initial contact email? I know I'm not one of the winners, or at least have not received an email, so I would love to vicariously enjoy someone else's fortune. If you won, and are allowed to say, and are willing to say, please exult! :)(And if someone official can confirm the first batch of prize notifications has gone out, that'd be awesome).

Vision.7265 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I would like to know the winners as well. I checked my email around that date (along with spam folder) and nothing. Checked today and nothing. There's a ton of prizes per week too, not just the grand prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 Well, not a ton-ton. 50 total prizes I think, or thereabouts? And who knows how many qualified entries, there were lots of racers all day long, even though each one of them only got an entry a week. I'm not at all surprised I was not one of the lucky 50, I'm just wildly curious about how it all came out. I genuinely love watching other people open presents even if I don't get any myself :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm curious, too.I'm also curious about the results of the poll the in-game NPC was taking about 'What do you like best about roller beetle racing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 They announced on twitter that they're drawing them but nothing ever came from that. Would just be cool to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kas.3509 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Anything new on this? Maybe I missed the announcement or sth. It should be out so many days after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I suppose they have to wait for winners to respond, and give unresponsive ones a reasonable period of time before looking for an alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Nothing in my E-mail, been checking regularly although I wasn't actually expecting to win.. hell I don't even know if my registration was successful and I was even entered in the competition lolIt would be nice to get some confirmation about the competition though.. I've also heard nothing about any winners nor any information that they've been drawn etc. (I don't use Twitter or Reddit and never will)These official forums are my only direct link to Anet so the lack of information provided here does often lead me to think that things get forgotten about.

Twium.3428 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'm surprised there hasn't been much mention of this competition lately. It was advertised all over the place. Did no one win at all? Seems odd nothing has been released as it's 2 weeks since the supposed draw for it. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply never trust these kinds of promo's, much like those phone in comps on tv... but who knows maybe there was a lucky winner, maybe there was a positioned winner or maybe they just forgot to pull out a winner from the hat at all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kas.3509 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 It's not that Im doubting they did it -> because that would blow up in their face, so doubt that's the case.I'd understand if there was 1 prize and 1 person didn't respond for quite a long time. But there were a few prizes, 2 weeks passed and no one is telling they won anything etc. That's disappointing.I know I didn't win as I didn't get the mail -> and my country was basically banned for no reason from 90% of prizes which is sad -> feels like 2nd class customer, should never organise competition at all if all players cant be treated equally.But I'd still like to hear somebody is happy about it and won. It's always good when fellow player got lucky and happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted January 21, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted January 21, 2019 I have reached out to see what I can learn about this. I don't believe we will be posting a list of winners here on the forums, but I will try to determine if all winners have been contacted and have sent back the verification form.

dDuff.3860 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 For the community competitions it is a common sense to announce your winner. I'm speaking about it professionally from my position. It is needed to show that prizes are actually distributed and the community aware about results. Otherwise, it looks like marketing scam. Cheers.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted January 21, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted January 21, 2019 Update: I inquired about the winners, and learned that the e-mails about this contest are going out in the current timeframe, so you should watch your in-box and see if you won! Once all contacts have been made and prizes have been awarded, I'll post again to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
