Good thing there's no purchase necessary, because I don't think I've eaten at Burger King in five years (or more) and don't plan to start anytime soon. Will enter once they email my code to me.

@ludist210Bear in mind they won't email a code, they will email you a receipt number, date and time that you have to use to enter. I think there is a field for a code but it is left blank.

@warerareYeah, they just said it could take up to an hour (and I think it took ten minutes). I lost anyways.

I wish the music was a little higher quality, haha. I wouldn't mind saving it. I really love the themesong they're using. I think it's way better than the NSMB theme. I just wish they'd go ahead and use an actual guitar and get rid of those *******ing wahs.Edit: Are we allowed to enter as many times as we want? Can I use more than one email address?

@ludist210 All US contests involve no necessary purchase! It's the LAW! (Almost everywhere, at least, as once you charge for a contest it's technically considered gambling, so it depends on how sleazy your town is.)

@Xbob42But if you're paying for a product and they give you a chance alongside of that product as a promotion...how is it gambling? You're paying for the product, not the chance. America is a very weird place sometimes.

@Shadowlink Because they're using the competition to lure you in to their store. i.e. They're using gambling to sell their product under the guise of "something extra." Otherwise they could have slot machines that give you a slip of paper that says "FUN TIMES" on it with each pull of the lever. You're paying for the slip of paper, not the gambling! The gambling's a bonus! You can run contests as promotion, but you cannot require a purchase. It can only be used to raise awareness, to advertise your product. @JargonPfft. There's no greater prison than Vegas!

@Xbob42 I guess, but it couldn't be much worse than state run gambling. For instance, exploiting people's LOVE to emotionally manipulate them into forgetting how numbers work.  @Mop it up At Burger King? Really? Well... if you want to purchase something, you are free to, of course.

I hate state run gambling. When it finally got passed here in California, that was a sad day. The only reason it even DID get passed is because the Lotto promised that millions of dollars from each lottery would go to schools. What they didn't clarify is which part of the schools -- so all that extra money goes to the administration, which in most of California does NOT use it for things like school supplies of better facilities. Just goes straight into wallets. One of the biggest mistakes the state has made imo.

I think there was some controversy here about gambling money for schools too. Like some politician promised to use it for schools, and did... but removed other funding from schools, so that ultimately the school funding never actually went up. Smoke and mirrors. Ug. But that one about love bothers me, to exploit what is (or at least should be, when not twisted) a wonderful yet powerful emotion just to get more people gambling. Hmm, and it seems to suggest that finding love has 1 in 7 billion odds, which I hope isn't true, because if so, only 1 person on the planet will find / has found love... that'd be a lonely love.
