    In the UK, each AMoE has to have a postage stamp. Given that on discounted sites, 50 2nd class are £30, it isn't worth it for just 50 entries. Especially when you can get bundles.

    Yeh, I've done this for every "experience" for about a year and still have never received any email or phone call stating I've won... If that's not increasing my probability of winning then I don't know what is... I'm not going to reveal how but if you know how to perform online investigations on individuals you'll come to the conclusion that people with a "relative" amount of limelight are often selected as winners, I've noted some Authors, other UA-camrs and quite successful business owners. There are however some people that I can't find anything on so those could likely be ordinary people that don't share publicly. From the data I've gathered it's about a 50/50 mix which is a little concerning to be entirely honest... This goes without saying that I've since stopped entering altogether

    Congratulations! I was hoping I could win the dinner at The French Laundry. It was a pretty niche prize because not even travel was included, but nope. Ah, well. In nationwide sweepstakes, I've won a trip to Florida, two flat screen TVs, jewelry, and many other wonderful things. So I always expect another win to be in my future, and it's fun to try. 😊

    Take your final number and multiply it by 5, since the charities only receive about 20% of the funds. The rest goes to "Omaze". If you raise $20,000 for a charity, you had $100,000 in donations.

    I have a promo code that gives 2000 entries. I also read the official rules and saw that 2000 entries per Alternative Entry application. This confused me because I've been putting in the entry code. When I put the code in, it says 2000 entries successful (in green a font,) but when I just enter without the code it doesn't say that.

    Unfortunately this doesn't work in the UK, as to get a single "free" entry you have to send in a postcard, each one needs to be posted separately, and they won't accept any entries delivered by hand, so it's cheaper to just buy your entries, still an interesting video though.

  • @dazecm

    Hmmm. The UK Omaze AMOE is restricted to entries by mail / post only rather than an online form. I'm now curious as to the rationale behind this?
    Cheapest UK postal stamp is 68 pence. 15 entries will cost you £10.20. Buying 15 entries via Omaze online method is £10. So, the No Purchase Necessary description for the entry details on the Omaze website for postal entries is clearly ambiguous, and possibly deliberately so based on what the source of the 'purchase' that statement is referencing (online, or postal stamp). The only advantage postal entries seem to serve then is to allow you to enter with fewer entries than the 15 entry minimum @£10 allowed on the Omaze website I guess, although the fewer of your entries in the mix the worse your odds of winning are yes? 🙂
