Oh great. Yet another wonderful prize where only the U.S. and a select few other countries inhabitants can participate.

Really?

Come on Bethesda, you make money of everyone in the game. Be fair and let everyone participate. Not a select few.

Deeply disappointed.

I mean:
a legal resident of: (i) one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia (excluding residents of Florida, New York, Rhode Island, the territories and military installations), (ii) Canada, excluding the Province of Quebec, (iii) Finland, (iv) France, (v) Germany, (vi) Mexico, (vii) Norway, (viii) Russia, (ix) Switzerland, or (x) the United Kingdom

That's a ridiculously small part of the world.

I feel the same @Hartukktu. Belgium is also not in the list

@ZOS_GinaBruno, question : even if I have no chance in winning a trip because of country restrictions, do I have a chance on the second price (1000 Crowns) ??

The game makers are great...amazing...superb. However, they cannot change the laws of countries and regions with restrictions on lotteries and online contests. Only you can try to do that with your lawmakers. You are pointing your fingers in the wrong direction...

Hartukktu · October 2016

@CapnPhoton I strongly disagree. We have plenty lotteries and online contests which do not exclude the Netherlands or so many other countries. It just feels very arbitrary. And unjust.

The only info I can find out is that to register a lottery in Netherlands, it is expensive and there is a large tax on it. the lottery itself has to either be hosted in the country or go through a lengthy process of approval. It is unlikely this would happen for a one time lottery given in a limited time.

@ZOS_GinaBruno will winners be posted? If so, where?

haunteddream · January 2017

Has anyone heard anything/won anything yet?

JJ_Rain · January 2017

ZOS_GinaBruno · January 2017

We're just finalizing the final winners, who will be contacted soon. Good luck!

Glaiceana · January 2017

NewBlacksmurf · February 2017

Did anyone win or did the president mess up travel?

JasonSilverSpring · February 2017

@ZOS_GinaBruno, it is now a month past when the winners was to be announced. If there has been a delay please at least let us know.

@ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, are you planning to ever publicly announce the winners?

It's bad juju to publicly announce winners of big prizes. Why do you think Lottery winners get hounded by "long lost relatives" and friends of a friend of a friend looking for hand outs.

Well, it is not like they are giving away million dollar prizes, but in some US states if you win a lottery you have to allow them to use your name and image in advertising. Now, I am not suggesting ZOS do that here by any means. But, they could at least announce that the winners were notified and perhaps give partial names or something. As it stands it just seems odd to say nothing.

Kova · April 2017

^^^ Especially since the "million dollar" contest winner was publicly announced. Remember? It was that guy on console who hadn't played the game for a few months and was still lvl 20?

Man, I actually forgot about this contest though. I've been so excited to see the housing contest winner announcements.
