If you’re perhaps unaware, we’ve been running a competition for the last two weeks in which we’re giving away an Xbox One console, along with a copy of EA’s excellent FIFA 16. The Xbox One as it is now is a far cry from the Xbox One that was released two years ago.
With a constant barrage of updates and refinements, the Xbox One is a better console than the one that Don Mattrick showed off at the console’s TV-focused reveal. It is, in 2015 and now beyond, certainly a console that’s worth owning.
And now, one of you will soon own one. We’ve done the draw, and we have a winner. Of the 3607 people who had qualifying entries, after removing the TONS of complete duplicates (you naughty lot!), we have our winner. The draw, which took place at 2015-12-07 04:33:14 UTC (That’s just after 6:30 locally) has found its winner – and it just happens to be Martin Du Preez.
We’ll get hold of you during the course of today. Your prize will be delivered by competition sponsors Prima Interactive, and should be with you within the next few weeks. That right there? That’s a pretty damned amazing Christmas present. A huge thank you again to everybody who’s entered, and an especially big thanks to Prima Interactive for giving up the prize in the first place.

Of course how else can Geoff share pictures of his latest hipster culinary delight or Darryn find willing recipients for his “tastefully done artistic semi erotic” selfies inhis batmask.

Do you enter own name 3000 in an random,org list and then act surprise and delighted that you won but also sad that you are 7th?
PS – If I do this random.org will probably still not pick me.,

few days later did get a 2nd prize since it was suppose to be competition of skill not luck.
Use to have a lot of those on LG.
Remember the epic competition, Latest CoD with lost of goodies and tacticool branded duffle bag. Who got closest to the guessing the amount of games that fit in the bag won the prize.
