If you were lucky enough to get a golden ticket, could you sell/transfer/give it away/use it for your own competition prize etc?

moviedrome · 23-05-09, 05:00 PM

Someone asked me on MSN if we would post the number of entries this week so here goes:

So far this week we have had a mammoth 81 entries into the competition

I had visions of a much bigger total than that Rich, is that about what you would have expected?

for the first week i think that's a fair total

about 1/4 of greens completed were entered - so perhaps i underestimated - hmm

Harvez · 23-05-09, 05:18 PM

oh nice thats roughly a 16-1 chance of a golden ticket

Dunstan · 23-05-09, 05:56 PM

1 in 233668955520 of getting all 5

Harvez · 23-05-09, 06:24 PM

only 2 tickets a week issued though so still a high chance

Was there an answer to this question?

Harvez · 24-05-09, 09:22 AM

dont think there was, dont think it should be allowed tbh.

delude · 24-05-09, 09:31 AM

They should make a ticket (or use Omairt's) and then watermark over the top of the person's name.

Why not? Why would it be any different to me sending traffic to an eXceem member to help them get entered?

I personally disagree with you/anyone sending traffic to someone else and so they getting automatic entries. It's supposed to be about effort isn't it? And if someone doesn't put effort in and wins i would be quite annoyed. That's what i think anyway

Is it? Someone can get just one green and win.

I imagine the idea behind it is to improve FJs market share, greenage and ratios. Surely that is about sending traffic.

Whilst there is unlikely anything that can be done about it i still disagree with it personally.

Oops, sorry we missd this. The golden tickets belong to the account holder themselves, and can't be given away etc because we wouldn't be able to monitor/regulate that (for instance, we couldn't make sure that one person only gets the maximum of 5 golden tickets).

I think we have said before, but I will say again to clarify... we have no problem with people diverting traffic to another account(s). If the account you divert traffic to wins a golden ticket, the golden ticket will belong to that account holder (as above). We have no control over where the traffic to a particular account comes from, and as long as the account itself isn't being accessed by anyone other than the account holder there is no problem as far as we're concerned.
