Well then if not everyone win once, the time limit that you have to pick the ball should have to expire before you could win again.

If the winner is picked randomly by computer, then people that enter 10,000 times a day have 10,000 chances to win?  Is that how people increase their chances of winning?  (And maybe win twice?)  Does anyone actually know how the system works?  If this is how it works, instead of creating good will (and rewarding regular Track ball users) this promo may backfire.

Adam, do you know that for sure?  If that is true it is very improbable that anyone would ever win twice.

I have no problem really, other then maybe wanting some extra stuff. Yet I say if he was picked let him get the ball. This just means he is lucky. Heck I say dont hold it against him.

If you read my post here Scoot, you will see that they apparently held it against me, but having already won once, I will live with it with no hard feelings as I think it is fair that others have a chance to win. I just want Track to be fair to all.

Im not saying that they did hold it aginst you, they may have forgot in your case. If the number you had didnt work and you are not listed twice maybe they truely made an error by calling you a second time. Hey I would love for them to be fair but sometimes things cant. I wish you would have won the second ball, I wish all of us here on BR won at least once. That would be awsome, dont get me wrong with when I said to not hold it against him.

Yes, I am the anti-christ...Seriously though, I log on every day with one account.  I'm sorry that you guys haven't won once or especially for brick's experience, but I haven't done anything to "get over on the system".  I come here just about everyday and go there for information as well.

I still think people are able to enter multiple times per day from the same email address.  No where is it stated that this can't be done.  It's the most logical answer for a double win.  Just look at the math.  If you are only able to enter a single time per day (no matter how many times you enter by logging on) and 1000 people enter per day you have a one in a thousand chance of winning each day.  To win two days in a row the odds would be one in a million and to win twice in 60 days the odds would be about 60 in a million.  While this is possible, it is not likely.  But if a person is able to enter the contest several hundred times per day the odds would go up considerably.  (I really don't see anything wrong with this but I would like to see the ground rules explained a bit better.)

I agree though. I don't have a problem with the guy who won, that would be awesome, and honestly, if I won 2 times, I wouldn't argue. But I do think Track ought to allow only one ball per member.

Honestly, at this rate, Willaby can have his own 6-ball aresnal raffle just like Clint!
