4PM (Eastern Time) Deadline
There are going to be numerous Sonic FX WCF Giveaways over the next month. In general, all giveaway registrations will close at 4PM (16:00) Eastern Time Two (2) Days before the giveaway. As a result of this, there might be some late (but valid!) registrations sent in paypal after the 4PM deadline.

Each payment posted in paypal includes the exact time that the payment was posted. Any payment posted at 16:00:01 or later (on the date of the giveaway deadline) will NOT be considered a valid registration for that drawing. All these late payments will be held over to the next giveaway.

How we will randomly choose the winner(s)
Every payment will be given a number, in the chronological order it was received. You win the giveaway if your raffle number matches the last three numbers (the number before the decimal and the two numbers after the decimal) of a Wall Street stock market quote. For example, if the DJIA closing quote is 10301.29 – raffle number 129 wins and if the closing quote is 10302.21 – raffle number 221 wins.

For most giveaways we will use the DJIA closing quote to determine the winner of the giveaway. I will take a snapshot of the Wall Street Journal web page after Wall Street closes at 4PM Eastern Time. The quotes that are shown, whether correct or not, will be used for these giveaways. If the DJIA closing quote for that day results in a non-winning giveaway number, we will use the same day's closing quote from Nasdaq, S&P, and Russell (in that order). If none of the closing quotes results in a winning giveaway number, we will use the following business day's closing quotes, in the same order (DJIA, Nasdaq, S&P, Russell)

1-100 entries
If there are less than 101 entries in a giveaway - we will only use the final two numbers of the closing quote (the two numbers after the decimal). Raffle# 100 is considered to be raffle number 00.

101-200 entries
If there are more than 100 and less than 201 entries in a giveaway - any winning number that begins with a 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 will be considered to start with a 0 and any winning number that begins with a 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 will be considered to start with a 1. For example, winning number 636 is altered to 036 and winning number 701 is altered to 101.

201-300 entries
If there are more than 200 and less than 301 entries in a giveaway - any winning number that begins with a 0, 3, or 6 will be considered to start with a 0, any winning number that begins with a 1, 4, or 7 will be considered to start with a 1, and any winning number that begins with a 2, 5, or 8 will be considered to start with a 2. For example, winning number 636 is altered to 036, winning number 426 is altered to 126, and winning number 804 is altered to 204. Any winning number that begins with a 9 will be ignored and another closing quote will be used.

301-400 entries
If there are more than 300 and less than 401 entries in a giveaway - any winning number that begins with a 0 or a 4 will be considered to start with a 0, any winning number that begins with a 1 or a 5 will be considered to start with a 1, any winning number that begins with a 2 or a 6 will be considered to start with a 2, any winning number that begins with a 3 or an 7 will be considered to start with a 3. For example, winning number 636 is altered to 236, winning number 426 is altered to 026, and winning number 704 is altered to 304. Any winning number that begins with an 8 or a 9 will be ignored and another closing quote will be used.

401-500 entries
If there are more than 400 and less than 501 entries in a giveaway - any winning number that begins with a 0 or a 5 will be considered to start with a 0, any winning number that begins with a 1 or a 6 will be considered to start with a 1, any winning number that begins with a 2 or a 7 will be considered to start with a 2, any winning number that begins with a 3 or an 8 will be considered to start with a 3, and  any winning number that begins with a 4 or an 9 will be considered to start with a 4. For example, winning number 636 is altered to 136, winning number 726 is altered to 226, winning number 804 is altered to 304, and winning number 926 is altered to 426.

More than 500 entries
If there are more than 500 entries in a giveaway - we will not alter any of the winning numbers. Any winning number that does not produce a winner will be ignored and another closing quote will be used.
