Caveats:
- After winners are announced, they do not become official until 24 hours after the announcement. If there are any disputes or discrepancies, one or more prizes may be redrawn within that 24 hour period. After 24 hours, all winners are final and no further correspondence will be entered into.
- Please note that if you are outside of the United States, I will do my best to ensure you are able to get the listed prize, but if it is not available in your area I reserve the right to substitute cash or a similar prize of the same value from a retailer in your country.
- If your chosen prize is no longer available due to supplier difficulties, a similar prize of equal value may be substituted after consultation with the winner.
A big thank you to everyone who has donated this round. Without you, we could not run the game with the required bandwidth and on the expensive hardware and these prizes would not be possible!
