I think a lot of it is where you are located in the world and how fast your internet speed is. I had two duplicate pages open in IE and one in Google Chrome, the two pages in IE were out of sync by 5-6 seconds and the Chrome page by 10-12 seconds. Refreshing the IE pages a couple times got them in sync but it didn't help with Chrome, I even closed Chrome and reopened it, still showing slow.
I also had paypal open on another page and logged in just five minuets before the end of the count down so once I clicked to pay I'd already be logged in to paypal but I never came close to that step anyways. I doubt there is much we can do to improve our odds, your either lucky where you live and your net speed or your not. As the halfempty stated, 99.9% odds you won't get one. But it's a good marketing tool to get folks to your website, sell five near, at, or below cost and gain sales out of it, much cheaper then advertising.
