&lt;p&gt;All well and good Lee, but I&amp;#39;ve had me a gold membership (in two forms) since day one.....but it seems there is a block on Oldham postcodes....&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/06.gif" alt="Sad" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/07.gif" alt="Unsure" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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. &amp;nbsp;However, again as mentioned, each member has an equal chance of winning in every draw. &amp;nbsp;In fact, it&amp;#39;s happened where a member has won TWO prizes in one draw!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt; Leo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s luck of the draw. Literally. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many prizes go to all over the globe. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;December prizes went to these lucky people:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;December Prize Draw Winners&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;img src="http://www.beoworld.org/assets/200pix.jpg" alt="John Smith" class="rbox" height="200" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;1st Mr L. Ernst&lt;/b&gt;
 - Munich, Germany&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2nd Mr P. Curry&lt;/b&gt; - Newtown, NSW, 
Australia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3rd Mr P. Robin&lt;/b&gt; - London, UK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4th
 Mr P. Marter&lt;/b&gt; - Alicante, Spain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5th Mr M. Siffre&lt;/b&gt;
 - Charente, France&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6th Mr L. Hockersten&lt;/b&gt; - 
Gothenburg, Sweden&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7th Mr S. M. Forsgren&lt;/b&gt; - Sjovegan,
 Norway&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8th Mr R. Harberg&lt;/b&gt; - Steinkjer, Norway&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9th
 Mr K. Libens&lt;/b&gt; - Limburg, Belgium&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10th Mr S. Numminen&lt;/b&gt;
 - Rauma, Finland&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And if you look through the winners within the links &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.beoworld.org/news.asp"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; you&amp;#39;ll see that there&amp;#39;s not that many UK winners. The US has won a few larger prizes in the past but there&amp;#39;s not really that many US gold members compared to Scandinavians and the rest of Europe. However, you&amp;#39;d have as much chance of winning as me (already a 1st prize winner) or anyone else around the world. &lt;/p&gt;
