    It's all down to our Gold Members.  Their membership money goes into the bank and after our regular running costs have been paid the remainder of that money is spent on Prizes - every penny of it.

    Are these prize drawings open to overseas gold members? Has anyone from the US won? Recalling off-hand, it seems that most past winners have been in the UK, with some on the continent.

    It's luck of the draw. Literally.

    Many prizes go to all over the globe.

    December prizes went to these lucky people:

    December Prize Draw Winners

    John Smith

    1st Mr L. Ernst - Munich, Germany

    2nd Mr P. Curry - Newtown, NSW, Australia
    3rd Mr P. Robin - London, UK
    4th Mr P. Marter - Alicante, Spain
    5th Mr M. Siffre - Charente, France
    6th Mr L. Hockersten - Gothenburg, Sweden
    7th Mr S. M. Forsgren - Sjovegan, Norway
    8th Mr R. Harberg - Steinkjer, Norway
    9th Mr K. Libens - Limburg, Belgium
    10th Mr S. Numminen - Rauma, Finland

    And if you look through the winners within the links HERE you'll see that there's not that many UK winners. The US has won a few larger prizes in the past but there's not really that many US gold members compared to Scandinavians and the rest of Europe. However, you'd have as much chance of winning as me (already a 1st prize winner) or anyone else around the world.

    Smile

     

                                                                                                  

    If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.

    Re: Well, look what we have here !!

    You beat me to it Stonk.

    Compared to the rest of the world, the amount of Gold Members based in the USA is small - so naturally not as many US winners will pop up.  However, again as mentioned, each member has an equal chance of winning in every draw.  In fact, it's happened where a member has won TWO prizes in one draw!!

    I was told yes, but if not - i'd either supply a power converter or buy a brand new US spec model. Smile
