Just out of interest, are entries 1 per IP address?
Seems a lot of user accounts that have posted were created in the last 24 hours, and though of course many may be legitimate, and new users of the site (which is great), I do wonder if some are just creating multiple accounts for a higher chance of winning.
Perhaps I'm just being overly suspicious :) I've never tried to create multiple accounts here of course so for all I know it's one per IP address anyway.
If nothing else, it's great that giveaways like this are potentially attracting new blood to the site.

All generalizations are false.
There's a lot of ways to determine if someone has multiple accounts. It isn't something I'll ever speak publicly about.
Just know that if you are being legit, you'll be fine.

Good stuff. I know from my linux sysadmin days doing public web dev there are different ways of checking such activity. Perhaps everyone is legit which would be nice and I'd be more than happy for my suspicion to be misplaced :)
