    Selection for the sweepstakes is completely random.

    IF this is the case, may I ask - do all names go into a hat ?  How does a WGT "Random Draw" work?

    I think this a fair and above board question that the community is entitled to know. 

    List gets randomized then selections are picked.  Not much else that can be said.  Random winners are selected as I stated above.

    I never said anything bad about it Shoe. Just how amazing it was. After all, you only need to buy 1 ticket to win the lottery :)

    I know you didn't I just saw the other posts coming.  Trying to head them off.

    Was it last years VUSO random winner who was chastised?

     

    Then about 100 apologies came through...anyways...random is random.

     

    FWIW...I'm glad I didn't win the random draw...couldn't afford to cover a bar tab at a posh place;)

    There it is! THIS ^ is what I'm referring too. HOW? How are the names "picked / selected"? Sort of a two handed statement,,lol "selections are picked". 

    In the future I would suggest, and again this is just a suggestion, not to use the words "picked or selected" if you are claiming you do a  "random draw".

    Getting back on topic, again, HOW is the name of the player drawn? Just a fair and up front question. This is all I'm inquiring. 

    Just 1 more fair and straight forward question; don't you think it would be fair to say that WGT's Random Draw eligibility requirements should be reviewed considering these kind of outcomes? What I mean by outcome is,,,,,,,,ahh, I wont get back into all that. I am sure you get my point.

    Thanks for your time and consideration. edge

    Virtual U.S. Open Qualifier Sweepstakes Winner: huskerhammer
    Grand Prize: Trip for two to the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, including airfare, hotel and tickets to attend the tournament as special guests of the USGA. Plus, a $500 gift card to USGAshop.com.

    With all due respect WGT - THIS IS WRONG. I totally agree with DAZZA.

    WGT needs to change the so called "Random Draw eligibility" policy. We have players in the community that feed this game fist full of money, play EVERY DAY for years, has supported the WGT program, been outstanding members in the community, been through the good and the bad with WGT and then a player with a total # of 80,,,,,,,80 ranked rounds since 2011 who has never played not 1, NOT 1 MP game, who has ZERO friends and who may possibly never log back into the community ever again, wins a trip of this caliber. COME OOOONNN WGT!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    Talk about transparent,,,lol. Random Draw. Pleeeeeeeease! Again. Just another example to why soooo many veteran players have moved on.

     

    Sorry Wgt, I kind of agree with this too, they do make a good point...  

    ......but Congrats to all the Winners

    If you did win a random drawing Mike you could always invite me along. I'd pick up the bar tab mate :)

    Which good point, not believing random draw really is random or wanting the draw in their favour and not random?

    As I understand everyone who played in that tournament was entered in a random draw.  

    Presumably the prize was to encourage people to play in this tournament, from WGT or USPGA I'm not really sure who sponsored it.  Are you suggesting that If I played another tournament (or ready-go or whatever), with another sponsor and/or advert's , this should give me a better chance of winning this prize?

    Perhaps an entry for each completed round in the relevant tournament would be fair.

    I read these forums from time to time not daily simply because of the negativity and piss poor attitudes (excuse my choice of words). Reading the winners of the sweepstakes i find that some are complaining of a the major prize winner, it really frustrates me to no end how people are. Just say thanks to the winners and go on. Yes, we all have paid money ONLY if we CHOOSE to do so. WGT does not force us to purchase anything plain and simple. What did they charge us to sign up???? NOTHING, $000.00....NOTHING. 

    LETS ONCE FOR GOODNESS SAKE SAY "THANKS WGT FOR ALLOWING US TO PLAY WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD FREE OF CHARGE!!

    People if you have a fatal illness then you might or have something to complain about but like myself i've found that the ones that do make the best of it for they know life will be short....BE HAPPY AND THANKFUL PLEASE.....:)

    Thanks again WGT and continue the good work...
