The Mantis-Eye Holiday-Themed Raffle
Why hello there! Since it's the holiday season, we here at the Mantis-Eye Experiment Offices feel a holiday-themed giveaway is in order. After a lot of brainstorming that may or may not have involved playing video games instead of brainstorming the idea of a holiday raffle was born!
Instead of paying for each raffle ticket as in a real-life snail raffle, this digital e-raffle involves free tickets. After you grab a ticket you are eligible for a new one six hours later. You don't even have to remember your ticket number(s) since it's all digital, but in the spirit of make-believe and Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan and Festivus I will be doing a live drawing tentatively scheduled for Saturday, January 2 at 7:00pm eastern which will be streamed on The Mantis-Eye UStream!
How About Some Fabulous Prizes?
Oh, prizes? You want prizes? Yeah I guess that makes sense. Up for grabs will be BifBangPow! bobble heads of Brock, The Monarch, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and Dr. Orpheus along with an official, genuine Mantis-Eye Experiment hot beverage mug! It's like Christmas in December!
(Your Dr. Orpheus will hopefully have all his fingers, I'm currently working on getting a replacement, otherwise you might need to buy some glue. The boxes on these are a little dinged up but the bobble heads are otherwise fine.)
Enter To Win
It's easy! Just enter your name and email and tell me which character is pictured (if you don't know you probably don't deserve to win anything) and click 'Get My Ticket!' to enter!
Sorry, this giveaway has ended!
Tell Your Friends
Look, I know telling more people technically decreases your chances, but let's share the joy or something, okay? Help me out here, social networking begins with you! Also feel free to use another social network of your choosing. Like... Bookster... or MyFace... or one of those other ones that's popular in Brazil but nowhere else.
Stumble Upon It
Tweet About ItContest rules and legal-ish mumbo-jumbo:
- Winners will be picked from a pool of elegible entries. Each participant can enter their name/email for a random ticket number once every six hours for the duration of the giveaway, from December 17th until January 2nd. Efforts to game the system will be thwarted and render you inelegible! And yes, multiple entries/tickets increase your chances of winning and you can potentially win multiple prizes.
- In the event that the winner refuses or cannot be contacted then another winner will be selected via the same method (though probably not streamed) and so on until a legitimate winner is picked. Each winner will have seven days to respond via email before they are passed over.
- Prizes are won randomly based on the selection of the tickets. The prize will be announced before picking and will be associated with that ticket number. Participants will not be able to request a specific prize and cannot make substitutions if they win. If you refuse a prize your ticket will not be put back into the selectable pile for any subsequent drawings (if there are any).
- Tickets come in a limited number! There are only five-hundred thousand (500,000) tickets and once they're gone, they're gone! They probably won't even come close to running out though.
- Once I mail the prizes it's out of my hands. So if it gets lost in the mail or damaged there's nothing I can do about it, sadly. No replacements can or will be issued. It's never happened before (as far as I know) so I'm sure this won't be an issue, but just in case I'm putting this here. On top of that no prize substitutions will be made. Prizes are as described and pictured and in more or less brand new condition as best as I can tell. If you win the Dr. Orpheus bobble head the box will be opened so he can be properly packed because his fingers are very susceptible to breakage during shipping. Trust me.
- By submitting you adknowledge that your name and email will be stored in a database. However I will not use any information to do anything other than contact you in the event that you win. Email addresses will not be sold or otherwise solicited. You will also have to provide me with a mailing address via email but that won't be stored in the database and only be used to mail you a prize.
- I reserve the right to change rules or make up new ones as I see fit at any time. I probably won't do that but just in case now I have all my bases covered.
- By clicking the 'Get My Ticket!' button on this page you acknowledge that you have actually read and more importantly that you agree to these rules.
