Is that where my essay goes too? Didn't see a place for it on the form and I was promised #guaranteedaccess with essay submission

you promised it was a doozie... I would like to be the judge of that!

Not sure if they did but if order #'s started at 1, there have been over 100,000 entries. Awesome for the charity.

That is incredibly tough to believe. I was expecting a few thousand, but 100,000 and in the first few hours?

Likewise, I won't expect a return smoke signal.

Mine was up there as well and I registered at like 9:02 so I doubt it.

There's going to be a lot of grandparents getting dragged to Vermont twice a year.

Perfect timing with me moving back to Philadelphia in December after living in So Cal for the last 7 years. Crossing my fingers I get selected because I finally need to make the trip up there at see what all the fuss is about

I am guessing the numbers started at 100000, which would put it at a few thousand entries thus far. 100,000 entries would like the entire population of a medium sized city entering at once.

I think I could do biannual and not piss the wife off too much since she does love vt.road trip?

 

[MikeG1]

I entered at 9:43 and was 102300 (or something). I doubt 102,000 people ordered in 43 minutes .

AT 12:38 I was 1032** so presumably it started around 100k (unless the taper of when people entered was just dramatically skewed front - i just assumed entering at a certain time wouldn't help things)

yeah absolutely.. i was kind of hoping with their options we could be more selective of the frequency.. for me bi annual of for the two points to be End of December early January then again in late June/July would coincide with my trips to Canada... but I understand it doesn't work with their year(calendar) of 10/1/16 - 9/30/17

i'm just glad something like this is potentially a viable thing again... Really hope to get in since it seems once you are in you can remain in.. have to imagine getting in next year will be that much harder since i doubt many drop out and i doubt many new spots open each year.

A local friend is having the same problem, just an FYI.

At 9:33 I got #102557

 

[cardinalbruintriton]

"Q: Can I purchase a Collected Works membership for my significant other or for a family member as a gift?"

To all you lucky winners, keep me in mind <3

But srs, as an educator, I hope the local school system gets a fat check of all our money.

 

[skrip]

did everyone get a confirmation email? or is that not a thing lol

 

[MikeG1]

I got one

 

[Fahmie25]

I got one

got one as well. #102319 at 9:01 for those curious about numbers etc. can't imagine they had a whole bunch earlier

 

[PrinceCaspian]

Not surprisingly, this appears to be a very thoughtful initiative, thoughtfully designed (to include the $1 donation/person donation to local childhood education!).

Wondering why they require you to specify a pickup frequency at this stage if this is purely a lottery based selection, i.e. would that have some sort of sway as to your chances of getting in?

I'd be willing to bet they have an allotment of winners for each frequency, with the most number of winners for monthly and the least for bi-annual. That way they aren't sitting on a bunch of inventory taking up space.

This is a good point.

Am I the only one who feels this may not entirely be a full blown lotto?

The wording in the FAQs does mention random selection but above that in the opening description it mentions being entered into a "pool" and "if selected". Based on what this club entails and what they hope for it to be, I don't expect them to take their members on pure chance, when they can easily identify individuals who are already embody the appreciation and support they are seeking.

I read this as a way to identify potentially unknown people who would embody the appreciation and support. Essentially, an approach that--through randomness--would allow them to see old friends and would also allow them to make new friends.
