New Executive Update : Comment 108 of 128 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gary_c on 24-Jun-2002 23:34 GMT | In reply to Comment 47 (Bill Hoggett): > Basically they're talking about prize draws, and AFAIK making someone buy a product before they can enter a prize draw is illegal in this country. I might be wrong though. I'm no lawyer.
It's illegal in the U.S., too, AFAIK. When an entry form for a drawing is included in something purchased (which would limit contest participants to buyers), there's always an alternative described outside the packaging, something like "or submit your name, etc., on a blank postcard." This is to assure would-be drawing participants that they don't actually have to buy the product. This is apparently necessary to comply with the law.
