/gg FTW! Christmas Laptop Giveaway

[NoeJeko]

Merry Christmas from /gg FTW!

We know you like getting cool stuff for Christmas so Gavist Media is giving one lucky /gg FTW! member a new laptop this Christmas! Here are the specs on the machine:

• Dell Latitude E6400
• Intel Core2 Duo 2.80 GHz (T9600) Processor
• Windows 7 Professional 32 bit
• NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M Graphics
• 3.0 GB DDR2-800 RAM
• 160 GB HDD (7200 RPM)

The E6400 was dubbed the "best laptop for students" by CNN Money:

This offer is open to all /gg FTW! members, including staff, who have 100 (one hundred) or more posts by December 15th, 2009. If your key is selected and you do not have 100 posts when we draw the winner, we will draw another key.

If the event runs out of keys before December 15th we'll reload as many as necessary to ensure everyone has an equal chance. Remember, you must have 100 posts at the time we perform the drawing to win.

A winner will be drawn on December 15th, 2009 and will be notified via forum private message. If the winner has not responded within 5 days, the winner will forfeit the prize and a replacement winner will be drawn. This process will repeat until we've contacted and verified a winner.

This is not a raffle; no purchase of any kind is necessary to enter. Subscribers and donors have no priority - everyone has an equal chance of winning. Odds of winning are approximately 1:50000.

Grab your key for this event on our Key Distribution System - Laptop Giveaway page.

1/50000 chance to win 8D!

good luck all ^ ^

[NoeJeko]

Hey it's better than the lottery odds lol..

CA law requires that I give you odds estimates. Actual odds will depends on how many people actually enter and are eligible -- I imagine half the people will tl;dr the 100 post requirement.

[Amanda]

It'd be better if the post requirement was 500 or 1,000.




No, I'm not saying that because I have more than enough. *cough*

[SpinSpinBunny]

lol, I'm entering this just for the hell of it 8D

Gewd luck to all <3~

Yeah, something about Skiegh saying "Hi Skiegh" is a bit eery but completely awesome.

Knowing my luck, I will somehow lose this free lottery so bad that I will actually lose the money that the laptop would of cost me in some bizarre accident.

[rulerneo]

Odds are high.

[SkillzKillz]

This is a wonderful idea and a step forward for GGFTW. Good luck to all participants!


Q:

How can the odds be less than 1:10,000?
Was this a donation from Dell?

[Glykeria]

Yeah, the odds kinda made me frown, and my math teacher probably frowned somewhere in response. But anyhow, good luck to all participants! I should be able to get my post count up by then, starting.... NOW! =P

[NoeJeko]

No, to my knowledge Dell doesn't donate hardware.

[Kebin]

Why not and omg If I win I will faint

[prison]

Sweet! I wanna lay down and play games :>
