99x Note 9 Black Friday Prize

In total, ninety-nine (99) Galaxy Note 9 smartphones were given away.

If you placed an order valued at $9.99 USD or more between November 23rd at 12am EST (00:00 EST) and November 30th at 11:59 PM EST (23:59 EST), then yes... you would have been good to go. Each eligible order placed gave you one entry to win. The $9.99 minimum threshold included shipping (meaning that if you placed an order below $9.99, but the shipping fee put you over $9.99, you were eligible).

For the sake of clarity, below is a list of example purchase values and how many eligible ballot entries would have been gained by a customer making the example purchase:

• $9.98 = zero eligible ballot entries.
• $9.99 = one eligible ballot entry.
• $10.00 = one eligible ballot entry.
• $99.99 = one eligible ballot entry.

Of course.

Great question. Let's break it down.

Each order placed generated a unique Order ID. This Order ID was used as your entry (called a Ticket ID). Additionally, each No Purchase Necessary mail ballot was assigned its own unique Ticket ID. Upon completion of the Black Friday promotional period, all Ticket IDs were gathered and represented as unique records in a database table. From this pool of unique Ticket IDs, ninety-nine (99) random entries were picked using randomly generated seeds based on the NumPy project. These random selections were the resulting winners.

Yep! To enter without making a purchase, you could have sent us a paper ballot, available here.
