Alright. Is sharing a phone number allowed? If so, how do I handle texting?
Also, I assume it wouldn't come via USPS? It doesn't seem like it would. I'd hope so, because I can't receive anything shipped via USPS at my dorm.
Text the code to 72823.
Thanks

I don't see why not. Unless you do the text thing, that probably ties a Phone to an email.

Yes, and most likely you don't need to even bother with the VPN. You're basically playing on behalf of your parent's address. Prize Logic (the company that is actually running the giveaway) is not going to ask you to prove that you are currently living there. I won my Wii U from a Burger King promotion when I was living outside of the country and had my mother bring it with her when she visited a couple months later.
When living in the US, I also won multiple PS3 games from Prize Logic during a Subway twitter promotion and they shipped each game. Point is, they don't really give a shit.
I just ask because generally a cell phone is expected to be used by one person only.
Can anyone else confirm this is safe?
Yes. I don't know if the phone numbers need to be different, however.

Would they even bother to check if someone registered 5 different email addresses under the same name? Or if someone used more than 5 through some VPN chicanery?
The whole thing seems ripe for exploitation. I'll probably wind up losing if I keep wasting my entries. I can't be the only one waiting until 4-4:30am
Time to diversify.

Let's say you put a code in at 5:00 am, it better to do it at 5:00 or 5:01?
Its anytime between 5 and 5:15
Its actually better to enter at 5:14 but someone else could have entered and won the PSVR that was at 5:05.
The trick is to be a little bit later but not too late.

wouldn't that just be 12 hours? i thought it was actually 24 hours (not going by their time but yours). i played around 10am the first time and had to actually wait until 10am again.

I thought it was once per day, where the day rolls over at midnight, not every 24 hours. :/

I just played twice in 24 hours but two different days without a problem except both losses. =(

if that was the case my second try would have worked but it said the code was already used for the day but worked fine right at the time i entered the first time.

0-6. And it's almost time for my Friday afternoon Big Box lunch.

Is there only one free code? Do I keep on entering the same one every day?
Congrats.
Congrats. Nice to see another member won.
Probably will try close to 3:50ish Eastern.

How do you get a code? I registered and everything, havent gotten an email code.

Oh thanks! I clicked on the "get code" button and it takes you to a register page where you enter your email address, physical address etc. Then after all that they send you a registry confirmation email which takes you to a page with a blank for you to enter your code and press submit....but i was like....what code? I was waiting for a dang email code that was never going to come!

I think that is if you got a code from a Big Box. I'm not entirely sure though.

Yeah, either you use the free code that is not unique or you have a unique code from the box. The box apparently does not improve your odds.

Thanks man, crazy how it works out. I'm at work and was going to enter the code at around 415 but got held up. When i saw the winner page i thought....no way. Im being pranked here.
It's becoming harder and harder to keep myself from believing that my IP is on some kind of shit list. It's nonsense conspiracy talk, but man, it's just lose after lose after lose. I'm going in harder than ever this year, but my luck is just doodoo.
