Same here - I take pride in not winning each and every month!

Thanks again to B&O for the BeoTime in 6th by the way - they sent us not one, but two upon launch.. very kind of them

Indeed! I think that is a just about perfect product for a prize draw - I suspect even the sceptics wouldn't mind actually having one if it was forced upon them

Once per month seems the ideal interval to me. I would get bored waiting two months to not win!

Would anyone prefer it on the 22nd out of interest? What day would you think will suit everyone more?

Lee

Whatever suits you, as long as I win!

BTW, I just check the december prices and I think they're absolutely fabulous !!! .... love the beocenter with beovox speakers ... :)

Thank You! - The speakers are MINT as is the BeoCenter.. a real perfectionists prize and one i'd love to own myself !! I thought something like that would be a really nice 'complete set-up' for someone wether a B&O 'old hand' or a novice alike.

Not everyone is into it - but the Golf Bag is stunning!! I don't play Golf, but a bag like that could encourage someone to start!!!

I will find my way to a computer no matter what day! Unless im at work haha, I dont think I could sneak off for an hour without someone asking for me.

The thought about having bigger prizes is very interesting but I think people have more fun with the current setup. More people are winning and people have higher chances at winning.

Keith, I believe Lee is doing the draw early at Christmas. 23rd of December.
Kind regards, Andy.

The prize draw clock has been corrected.

It is no so much a bug, more that I was not around at prize draw time to change the setting.

The countdown was actually showing the time until the November 2010 draw !!!

You may need to do a browser refresh..

If you look at the Prize Draw page, right in the very middle of the screen in full view i made sure to put a link to the Prize Draw Rules & Regulations.

I then worded these as plainly as i could to avoid any confusion, devoting a whole paragraph to it entitled 'Prize Collection' explaining that prizes can be collected from BeoWorld HQ or sent anywhere in the world at cost.

I do try and make things as clear as possible, but i apologise if they are not clear enough

Lee

Hmmm...

It is clear, but what isn't... is just how much is owed?

We actually have an old open converstion / PM regarding what I owe you for shipping.

There was no reference whatsoever to the cost? Should I just pay a strong guesstimate so that the extra can go towards the site and/or offset winners that don't pay?

Another thing is that it might be a good idea to inform a little more about that the winners have to pay for the shipment of the prizes. Only reason i have found out is because i have won a prize.

I like the monthly prize draw! 6 prize draws a year would be to far between.

Another idea could maybe be to cut down the 5 smallest prizes. In the "you are a winner" mail you mention that only about 70% of the winners follow up on the shipment for the prizes. I only guees but maybe these small prizes cost to much for Beoworld if it is them people fail to pay the shipment for?

Just my two cents

What about more expensive prizes and have a draw every week

What about you send me a cheque for £100,000 and we get the ball rolling?!!
