you have to answer a quiz to claim a lottery prize?
Replying to Dialga #god_of_time you have to answer a quiz to claim a lottery prize?
Yes
Not lottery sorry
I always say it wrong
its sweepstakes
so my grocery store had a digital wheel and I won a free pack of american cheese slices for instance, and I had to answer a basic middleschool level math question to claim it
Its a legal loophole to make it not gambling
you did not win because you won a funny dice roll, nonono, you won it because you can do math at a middleschool level
Dialga, I honestly like it because its funny that I have to do math to win anything ever
its better than Quebec, where their laws just make it so all sweepstakes say "residents of the USA and Canada (Excluding Quebec)"
Replying to legorhin #jazardly by middle school do you mean solving for x?
simple type of question like that usually yeah
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak its better than Quebec, where their laws just make it so all sweepstakes say "residents of the USA and Canada (Excluding Quebec)"
The reason, btw, is because by Quebec law anyone giving away a sweepstake must pay of percentage of it to the government of Quebec
so they just don't run them in Quebec
a tax is an effective ban
at least for giveaways
Canada does not tax winnings at least
I was locked in, spooky and I agreed to vote against garbage
thus is how the cookie crumbled
