Wondered exactly how the winners are picked? Is it just random from all people who answered the question correctly or do you have to have had a perfect score over the last month? I am a high school math teacher, so just wondering about the odds, etc. Thanks and Keri you do a super job!

Mark - every time someone gets a correct answer they earn one entry in our computer for our daily drawings. So, if you get five answers right in one week then you have five entries. The more you play, the more entries you build up and we hold all the entries until the end of the year.

Regarding Mark’s question above: So if I forget to answer one question for the week (let’s say I miss Wednesday’s question), I may still be able to win the next day’s prize (Thursday’s)?

Javier - Yes, if you miss a question one day all of your previous entries are still in the computer that we pull the names from so you can still win!

So as the contest progresses, your computer will hold more and more winning entries from which the winner will be chosen. If that is the case your odds of winning are actually decreasing as winners are added.
Is this accurate?

How do we win a round of golf with Keri?

C’mon guys it is not that complicated: you get an answer right you get another entry. You get the answer wrong and you keep the same number of entries as you had before. They do a random drawing and you get your prize.
Of course, everyone is rewarded every day with the distinct honor of enjoying Keri’s company!

Thanks, Tommy! I have no idea what the actual odds are for winning based on all the entries in the computer but the more you play the more entries you’ll have, so that seems like it could only work in your favor. Good luck, everyone!

Are the winners picked randomly per region on different days? Example: Monday a winner is pulled from the West Coast region, Tuesday a winner is selected from the Eastern region, Wednesday is from the Mid-West? etc..

Carlos - no the winners are picked each day from the total number of entries which includes any and every state that we have entries from.

okay, let me see if I’m getting this right. The more you answer the questions, the better chance you have of winning because it’s like the lottory, the more tickets the better chance? So is it fair to say, if you can not get to a computer every day and and answer that question for that day, you are just crap out of luck? Fair? Well i guess that way, only certain people can win. Some fair game.

ihope you find away to only give so many seconds or a short time limit to post your answer short enough so people can not goggle it for the correct answer everytime this would make it a real contest for the golfers out there and test thier brains (instead of cheating )
