What if I'm an AFOL and don't have any kids though? This seems like it's designed specifically for kids, not for AFOLs.

Special rules for United States residents: The Prize Winner (or the parent or legal guardian of a Prize Winner who is a minor) will be required to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release of Liability, and a Prize Acceptance Form within 5 days of such forms being emailed.

Pretty normal for the United States.

Special rules for Canadian residents: To be declared a winner, the potential Prize Winner (or the parent or legal guardian of a potential Prize Winner who is a minor) who is a resident of Canada must correctly answer an arithmetical skill-testing question and execute a Declaration and blah, blah, blah

But if you win in Canada, you have to pass a math test.

Somehow that seems unfair to the Canadians.

[Ye Olde Republic]

Yeah, the skill testing question here is usually something like: (6+8)/2=? Really challenging stuff.

When I was at the lego store today I was handed three forms, one for each of my boys and one for myself so I guess that answers the question.

Standard procedure in Canada for any non-lottery draws.

Nice to see that it's limited to one entry per person so that someone can't flood the contest with entries. Keeps us all equal (though if you're part of a large family, perhaps some are 'more equal' than others )

[Kosh]

Well on my last visit they just stuck 3 copies of the form in my bag and didn't even mention what they were for, no worries I passed 2 of them along for my nephews....
I got 3 copies of the store calendar as well, one thing I noticed was they are doing the buy $75 on a single visit between 2 dates, get a PAB box you fill between dec 26 and march for free thing.

What if I'm an AFOL and don't have any kids though? This seems like it's designed specifically for kids, not for AFOLs.

Of course, if anyone feels the need to assuage their guilt on entering this and competing against little kids with no pocket money, you could always just list one or two items which you might like for yourself, and for the remainder, pick gifts which would be appropriate to give to your local charities.
