That ended with a whimper rather than a bang. Of course it's not that surprising considering only 38 members entered the contest. The daily statistics show 80+ registered members visiting the past few days. When I started the contest I thought the first day would have 50 entries easily and get 100 by the end.
If another contest happened what could be done to get more participation? Better locks? Better odds? Longer entry period? All these things can be done without difficulty. Locks can be donated for the contest to me or shipped directly to the winner if they are the selected prize. Overall odds can be changed to 1:500 or 1:250 or 1:100 or 1:10,000 with non-stop drawings until we have a winner.
Or we could increase the number of prize locks until a winner is found. For example one lock for the first drawing, two locks for the second drawing, etc.
Ideas? Donations? Should we try again in August with some tweaks to the contest? Never hurts to give these things a try. Thanks for playing
Have a great day!
