Re: UKNM: Funmail - The 'Big Yellow Envelope' Theory

[Jason Dale]

>>Of course it doesn't guarantee you a win, but if your address ends up being 

within the field of vision it certainly has the potential to give you an

edge over the other 50 or so other email addresses on the screen (thus the

name of the 'Big Yellow Envelope' theory).


>>We've had a couple of wins through a certain gaming site that shall remain 

nameless, so I'm pretty sure they use this system - but was curious to know

if this really is the industry standard. If so, I can get on with some

serious experimentation (and maybe win a car or two).


It's not something we've ever come across - and we have a lot of information 

from a fair number of web competition winners........


To be honest though the industry standard should be such that the picking 

process is entirely random although more aimed at magazines the following from 

http://www.ppa.co.uk/comp/ should apply 


"Arrangements should be made to ensure that the draw is totally at 

random. The drawing person should not be able to identify the entries while 

selecting the winner(s). 


An independent trustworthy witness should oversee the draw."
