And how many of these users are inactive - quite a bit it seems. I think I once registered under a work email which is not valid any more.

Have any FlyerTalkers won anything yet? I just saw that no prize was claimed by today's deadline and the next winner can take 30k!!
Only one guy has won anything!

I haven't won anything yet and I've been checking every day! I did win a booklight and a lint brush from office.com. I haven't received them yet http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Has anyone won the chance for first class for life yet?

Hi,

I won a chance at the Lifetime gift on office.com.

Unfortunately, I did not win! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

PG - all the people we pick from are active. As you might know, we pick the winner from those registered to receive MilesLink. We send a MilesLink newsletter out every month and if there were any inactive email, they would bounce back and our system deletes them. In the case of an old office email, the chances are probably pretty good that eventually it would have been kicked back by the "post office" there at work. If you received a MilesLink from us at he start of the campaign and received a normal MilesLink just today, then you are registered. If you've not gotten anything from MilesLink in the last week, then we don't have you registered. Only those registered for MilesLink have a chance at winning. Yesterday a lady won 30,000 miles and there's still 42,000 miles to give away.

What are your odds? Well, they are much better than one in a million. In fact they are one in 250,000 to win a daily prize from the 12 Days of Christmas.

Good luck.....and don't be too disapointed, I haven't yet won either.

you have TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND subscribed members? Wow! How many of those are Flyertalkers, if you know?

Deleted due to misinformation.

Regarding what happens if there's no winner on the last day... IMHO they should keep going until there is one. If they want to donate some miles to charity, that's great, but they can do that independently of this contest. The two things are not related in any way. The contest was designed to generate traffic to the webflyer site, which it surely has done, and all the prizes should go to the people responsible for that traffic. IMHO.

I looked this morning and they have posted whose name was drawn on each day. Thank goodness mine wasn't among them because I couldn't check for a few days. I would have felt a real loser if my name had been on there. Now I'm just not among the winners.

I am pretty sure Nanook, that if you would have won, FlyerTalkers would email you right away.

I lost too! I think there should be a 'hand recount' as there might be a hanging chad or two.

Perhaps an e-chad?
