Sorry for the confusion -- several of us are talking about a different game from Choice brands. We got a bit off-topic here.

Ok -- cool that this has it's own thread now. Easier to discuss. (Sorry to FLYGVA for that one getting a bit too far off-topic with this.)
So, I am curious if anyone else won something they didn't want (like Gold status) and purposely did NOT fill in the winner's thing within 5 days. My wife won gold and doesn't need it, so we just ignored the "you won" thing and have continued to enter. We'll see what happens if she happens to win.
On my account, I won the 10,000 points. They have no posted yet, but the email says May 31st, so I'm not that worried. (I'm not a big Choice guy, but just did the Daily Getaways things to buy 88,000 points and got status matched from Hilton Diamond to Choice Platinum, so I might start using them more -- just good to have more options in some locations.)
Also, finally, anyone else notice that it seems to let you enter more than once per day? It looks like it is actually counting all of the entries (i.e. you can win on what was NOT your first entry that day). I'm not sure if this is a bug or what...

Still no win for me.. ( husband won but not me the 10k)
As to not accepting your "gold" status win.. I would read the rules and see if they say whether you have to claim it or it automatically gets awarded.

I won gold yesterday and do not need it (I am platinum) so I played again today and yes I got the email and plan to ignore it.
I was wondering what would happen if i kept playing and won again and I guess I will find out.
I have played up to 2x a day but not everyday out of curiosity and wondered how many times i could actually enter, the system doesnt seem to tell you you have already played that day.

So, it is here for now only because it was split from an IHG-related thread. It'll be over in Choice soon.

Originally, in was in another IHG thread and this was an off-topic discussion that started. The IHG mod split it off into it's own thread. I think to do that, it had to be split into the IHG section. He said that it would be moved into the Choice section within a few days.

Fourth Prize (50 available): $50 Sunoco gift card
Fifth Prize (848 available): $25 Shell gift card
Sixth Prize (5,000 available): Gold Status for 1 year

Either that, or it may be my first question in the ask-the-concierge thread.
Thank you!

Choice Hotel Promotion is the title of the "thread" that was created by an administrator since my comment was in the IHG thread answering someone's question about is there any other promotion going on.
