Seems like a waste of money to me. And why UK but no Ireland?
So poeple, do not complain about countries not being listed. Yeah it sucks and I feel for you. I'm from Belgium and i'm always EXCLUDED from every contest (even art contest, e-sport contest, fanstories contest etc) this is due to the LAWS of YOUR COUNTRY. Zenimax can not do anything about it.
I see Germany in there, they have even strickter rules then my own country, Holland.
So no it's a choise, or they should have put more effort in it to get the right papers to do this everywere.
Germany may have stricter rules, but clearly they have one allowing the giving of a large sum of money without entry fees etc from a sweepstake style giveaway.
Annnd Quebec isn't eligible to the contest....
Thank you ZoS.....
sigh

And then the excitement turns bitter and you realise it is just a huge insult, to all those who have been supporting ESO since Betas, from every corner of this PLANET.
Nice try, thanks for nothing.

Don't thank ZOS... thank your local government. I am surprised at the hordes of players responding to the issue as if ZOS decided to throw a dart at the map and exclude the locations they hit.
If a country, region, state, etc., is excluded from the contest there must be more to it than ZOS's natural desire to make the maximum number of players suffer with the least amount of effort. To satisfy my curiosity in your case, since it was the first of many such comments, I made a quick search to find out what special rules Quebec has imposed on privately owned sweepstakes. You can check out contests.about.com/od/sweepstakes101/f/VoidinQuebec.htm if you're interested.
I will leave verification of why other locations are excluded as an exercise for the class, but I'm sure similar reasoning applies. I hope this helps.

So you're saying that it's my fault to live in italy and can't partecipate? or maybe Zenimax could try to offer to ALL the playerbase something like crown or in game pet instead real money to only a fraction of their playerbase .
I know it's hard maybe you live in country admitted to the lottery and it's all right to you but we paying customer excluded from the lottery cause zenimax choice to give away real money we are a bit upset, i feel disrespected and the actually situation of the game ( lag in pvp, broken class ) suggest that the 1 000 000 $ was spent better elsewhere in my opinion

Ok for all you hate spammers do not blame Zenimax for the exclusion of your country. Blame the laws in your country. Many sweepstakes, RL cash gambling, and the like are outlawed in your countries. This is for your protection, it does mean you can't win free giveaways also but that is not Zenimax's fault. The in game currency is covered by these laws as well thanks to game's like EvE online. Where the in game currency can be traded for real life currency.
Want in on the next giveaway get your government to change the laws.
