Important News for Unemployed Canadians w/ No Girlfriend by Jerry Whorebach 10/18/2006, 10:05pm PDT
This site is giving away one prize every hour to some lucky resident of Canada. Each day, twelve of those prizes are X-Box 360s, one is a $3000 TV and the rest are not worth anyone's time. You can pick which prize you're playing for.

Since gambling is immoral and therefore illegal on the white man's stolen land, the corporation running this thing is required to give everyone who asks ONE no-purchase-necessary entry per hour. Since I'm playing for myself, my mom and my brother, they give me THREE.

Each day, roughly THIRTY-THOUSAND entries are received. I sleep eight hours per cycle and after that my schedule is pretty clear, so about FORTY-EIGHT of those entries are mine.

According to my calculations, if the number of entries-per-day holds steady (Big if, but we're already ten days in), and if I were to play every day until the contest closes on December 2nd, odds are that I WILL win an X-Box 360. I don't mean they're 50/50 or some bullshit like that, I mean they actually favour me over the house.

I didn't finish highschool so it's entirely possible that my calculations are not correct. In which case, I really hope someone points out my error before I waste three minutes out of every waking hour for the next month.
