Noble Dead Raffle—NOW OPEN!

The raffle is open to only readers in the USA. Deadline for receipt of all entries is Friday, May 11th, Midnight PST (via the timestamp on the email you send for your entry). By the following Monday, one random winner will be notified via email and (once confirmed) will be announced (by name only) through the NobleDead.org and its newsfeed and accepted social systems. The publisher will be notified as well, and the winner should receive the prize within 10 business days.

Winner Selection Process

The following is the process for the raffle and awarding of the prize.

1. Each entry is checked upon arrival for complete contact and delivery information as required. This saves a step in the process for having to request and then verify the winner’s shipping information.
2. Correct and complete entries are confirmed by email within 72 hours of being received. Incomplete entries are discarded and, if possible, the entrant is notified.
3. After the raffle's closing date/time, all entries are checked for duplicates based on Name, Email, and Delivery Address. Clear duplicates are discarded. Indeterminate ones may receive an email query at our discretion.
4. Verified entries are assigned a number by ordered of date/time received. The total number of entries is entered into a pure random number generator to select the winner. [See Random.org]
5. The winner is notified and reconfirmation of entry delivery information is requested. The winner has 48 hours to respond. If no response is received, that entry is discarded and a new winner is selected according to Step 4.
6. Upon confirmation of delivery information, the winner is announced via NobleDead.org and its news distribution systems, including linked social systems.
7. Delivery information is passed on to the publisher’s publicity department, and the winner will receive the indicated prize, usually within 10 business days.
