Anyone hear who won the RMGO AR-15 giveaway?

[GilpinGuy]

I hope it was a forum member.

[TheGrey]

There's no information on his FB page...and people are starting to post the question of who won in other places than the thread for the giveaway. I hope it was a forum member, too.

[jackthewall81]

That would be sweet!

[BuffCyclist]

Or was it all a hoax and it was just a COUPON redeemable for an AR15?

[glock74]

I hope its me.

[newracer]

The rifle was displayed in the store.

That would be a terrible hoax... Groupon did away with firearms related coupons...

[Boadie30]

I was in the drawing, without the best luck in the world... A libtard might have won it and it is currently being melted down.. Maybe that's why there is no announcement... Maybe Elway won it but he's fucking undecided... Jackass!!

[BuffCyclist]

The rifle was displayed in the store.

Was it? I didn't know for sure if it was in-stock or if they would order it. I registered at the very beginning and then in later emails, they put disclaimers saying you had to be a Colorado resident to win. (not that i'm not surprised about that)

[Ronin13]

I WON!!!!





Nope, nevermind, false alarm... it was one of those "I need your donation" emails from Dudley... Nice timing jerk! [fail]

[StevenP]

[RCCrawler]

For once, when everyones sitting waiting for an email from Dudley, nothing.

Exactly..... He probably saw I won and said, "he bitched about the emails.... We should just leave him alone....."

[jackthewall81]

Maybe they haven't picked yet... Hopefully not.

[JM Ver. 2.0]

Oddly enough, Gmail has a great spam filter feature. Adding RMGO to it works wonders.

Yeah... Did that. Now I just get the emails on my other two emails.

[GilpinGuy]

Maybe they haven't picked yet... Hopefully not.

I thought it was supposed to be 1:00PM today.

[waxthis]

Think I got the shaft!

[blacklabel]

I'm pretty sure that Dudley screwed up my email address.

[DavieD55]

I'm glad some of you guys didn't win... You guys dont deserve to win anything.

[Sharpienads]

I hope its me.

Me too.

And by that I mean me, not you.

[Luck]

[Southbridge]

Wasn't me either.

[Tinelement]

Musta been Burt Reynolds or sumthing.....

[waxthis]

I'm gonna sue! The suspense has shortened my lifespan By at least 24 hours.[dammit]

[HBARleatherneck]

so, tinelement was there, but he couldnt provide reconnaissance for us? you should have hooked us up, unless you won. in which case you suck.

[TheGrey]

I watched the 5 o'clock news, and they covered the drawing and winning, as well as a brief part where he notified the winner by telephone. The winner was male. No name has been given out yet.

[Tinelement]

Hey, just reported there coulda been a celebrity in the house..... I mean seriously, Fox News was there!!!


I didn't win....

[Ashton]

Hahahaha LOSERS!

[Monky]

Hahahaha LOSERS!

Why are you insulting yourself?

[Ashton]

Why are you insulting yourself?

=(

[kwando]

Was just on fox31, they mentioned they were not going to announce the name of the winner. The winner was called on the phone, didn't sound too excited.

[SideShow Bob]

Musta been Burt Reynolds or sumthing.....

Naw, he is in ICU down in Florida. Complications from the Flu......

[HoneyBadger]

I didn't get a phone call :(

[StevenP]

Was there a spot to enter your phone number? If I remember correctly it was just a name and email address. Maybe if you donated to RMGO then you would enter a phone number.

[bigshane]

That's suspicious. When I entered there was no phone # field.

[GilpinGuy]

Fukin A - I remember no phone # field too...

RMGO[fail]

[82ndShooter]

I do not remember a phone number field on the entry form.

[GilpinGuy]

I wonder if Dudley will reply. [Flower]

[82ndShooter]

Here is the cached html for the give away page.... no phone number field here!!!!

[Gman]

He could easily contact the winner via email and then get the phone #.

Is everything a conspiracy around here?[tinhat]

[theGinsue]

Is everything a conspiracy around here?[tinhat]

Why? What have to heard? :)

[Ashton]

So the guy won the drawing then he sent him an email asking for his number then he told him he won?? really now...

[Ashton]

Oh wait I forgot to add while everyone and the news cameras are waiting to see if they won and will get the email...

[Ingman]

The thing that I thought odd about this sweepstakes was that I couldn't find the official rules anywhere before or after entering. Promotions like this are so regulated that it is almost impossible to hold one and not run afoul of some law without having carefully drafted sweepstakes rules. Hopefully they didn't run into any sort of trouble in this case, but some things I have read about RMGO suggests that they may occassionaly act without fully understanding the legal implications (not filing taxes, alleged copyright violations, etc.).

Still, I hope the winner emerges soon and they were someone who will appreciate a LE6920.

Edit: This is the closest thing to official rules I could find:


DISCLAIMER: No purchase or donation necessary to win. Void where prohibited. Must be a Colorado resident to be eligible to win. Winner drawn randomly via CPA-certified process. Firearms prizes must be claimed through a licensed firearms dealer in accordance with federal and Colorado law. Firearms prize winners must meet all legal requirements and will be subject to a dealer’s background check.

I don't know if that is sufficient to satisfy the requirements of CRS §6-1-803 (5).

[waxthis]

Out of courtesy I though I'd let you folks know that I did not win. Thanx ahead of time for the well wishes and support through this tough and emotional period. You guys, and gals, are great.....

[StagLefty]

I'll be lip syncing my acceptance speech ! [ROFL1]

[HBARleatherneck]

did you guys really think he would put the winners name out there?

maybe something like "jim" from Windsor. But, not the whole name. as said above, if he had to wait for someone to respond to an email, they may not know who won yet.

[sniper7]

I got it.

[waxthis]

I got it.

[fyou]

[Rooskibar03]

So we're 6 pages in and still no one has any clue about who won.

Cant say I'm surprised.

[blacklabel]

I'm not worried about who won but they should have sent out a notice that the winner had been notified after the drawing yesterday rather than leaving everyone hanging.

[MAP]

I read this http://kdvr.com/2013/01/25/assault-rifle-giveaway-attracts-tens-of-thousands-of-entries/

[XC700116]

So let's say the winner that was drawn doesn't pass the BGC, and we all know that's out to 8 days right now. Then they need to pick a new winner right.... Point is, if I were running this, I'd do everything I could possibly do to keep the winners name out of the media, along with the status of the BGC, and if it didn't clear, the next person's name and so on.

Yeah everybody wants to know who won, and everybody wishes they could walk into their local shop and pick up 5 stripped lowers for $75/ea too.

How many of you would love your name spread all over the internet, along with the fact that you just won a shiny new AR15???

[Rooskibar03]

Again the question is there was no spot for a phone number on the entry page. So are we to assume they drew a winner, emailed them, and then emailed back his phone number for a "winning" call announcement?

Seem fishy to anyone else?

[Gman]

It wasn't you. Get over it.

[BigBear]

Sure wasn't me, I've never won a damn thing in my life. Anyways, hope someone, somewhere did win and it's not just another "trick" to get more emails/letters/publication/etc... It's happened before with other companies.

Ever stop to think maybe the phone call was a show for the cameras? You know there's a bunch of people and cameras there and how do you think it would play to pull a name and go well we have a winner, but I'm not telling you who it is, and I have to email them for a response. Kinda anticlimactic don't you agree?

So to get around that you either call a shill to go Yeahhhhhh!! that's great!!! on the phone, or you email the real winner ahead of "release time" and get the number to call them and do it.

I'm not involved with RMGO beyond being a member and having entered the contest myself, but not everything is a conspiracy either.

[Ashton]

but not everything is a conspiracy either.

Blatant lie.

[jerrymrc]

I would not know until Monday as it was tied to my work mail that I have no access to at home.

[ChunkyMonkey]

Did we get an influx of infowars folks lately?? What's with the paranoid?
