Aren't most who sign up just going to add to their Bitcoin collection and Hoard them as well, wouldn't it be better to set up number of online shops to encourage real trade.
There are all sorts of ways to promote bitcoin use, one being what you've mentioned. We're just doing it in a fun way that will make some people very happy (it is probably not the best way to spread bitcoin but perhaps others should join in and set up their own little projects!)
You haven't won any drawings. There is no "promised" BTC.

Yes I saw your suggestions. Thanks.
There is a method to my madness regarding multiple accounts. I won't be discussing this in detail to avoid giving any ideas to cheaters (but as of now they can't cheat, new ip or not)

did someone kidnap our last winner? he/she hasn't responded yet.
its really awesome to have something like this where you give an opportunity to give other people some btcs and other stuff...really thanks for helping btc improving. hope to see more things like this.
Okay, I've been in there from about 100 users. And never won!
Just kidding, I'm not mad! I love this concept, keep it up. But, since the site is so fancy and good looking I'm sure that you've got a lot of development skills, and in my opinion it shouldn't be to hard to create a countdown adjusted to the time of the user (is it?). It is pretty confusing and I still don't know at what time the winner is chosen (GMT +1).
Look at it this way, every day you don't win the jackpot grows.
Thank you for your suggestions we will consider them.
I'd just like to remind newcomers that you should read FAQ before trying to make 100 accounts as some people are now trying to do. The only result of this is you never winning anything as you are now flagged and banned from participating.
Why ruin a good thing?
No doubt there will just be more of this in the future.
Measures that can be used to prevent this, apart from keeping an eye out, as you already are:
Only accepting people with active users on this forum, or other significant bitcoin-related communities, having email confirmation a requirement + captcha.
Also, who is the new winner? I can only see it says completed now, and there is still just 2 winners!
Timer depends on the time zone since it counts down to a specified time and date. There are 5 hours and 22 minutes left as of now.
