So am i reading this correctly? Theres a chance that if you did get a email stating you are a winner you may not be a winner after all?

If you respond late, yes. First come, first served on 250 units.

I wouldn't sweat it too much though, as they said, the reason they're doing it that way is there are usually quite a few unclaimed prizes in contests with hundreds of winners, so notifying 300 people helps makes sure that 250 find a home.

EDIT: I suspect one of the reason there are so many unclaimed prizes is due to some "creative" use of referral email addresses by people entering the contest. Somebody gets a bunch of referral points by using email addresses that aren't checked, and the bogus email is actually chosen as a winner.

There are people claiming to have THOUSANDS of points for this contest, so at 30 points per referral, it's easy to see that even if all the addresses were actually valid, some percentage would not be seen by the winners.

Hello everyone,


50 winners on ECF, we have got your post information from ECF, for most of them don’t have mail address, we’ll not contact anymore. If you want to confirm the rightness of your post information or change it, please contact this mail address: support [at] smoktech [dot] com within 3 days, please write the title of your mail as: winner for ECF thread + ECF username,or smok will post prize according to the information which offered by ECF.


Except the 50 winners in ECF thread, today we totally informed other 300 members, who are informed as winners by ECF by upvrial before, by support [at] smoktech [dot] com. But the real winners only for 250 members, so as the ECF said that as long as you reply us according to what we required in the email, we will send the prize out, ONLY for the top 250. Rank after the number of 250, we'll not send the prize.


Notes: Please check your email box including spam folder and reply us in 10 days.

I got a email stating I won and was in the list of winners you posted. Why all of a sudden it's I may not win that's not very fair in my opinion.

This is what the email said:

Except the 50 winners in ECF thread, today we totally informed other 300 members, who are informed as winners by ECF by upvrial before. But the real winners only for 250 members, so as the ECF said that as long as you reply us according to what we required above, we will send the prize out, ONLY for the top 250. Rank after the number of 250, we'll not send the prize.

My interpretation is that if you are one of the 250, and send the email within 10 days, you get the prize. The other 50 will be numbered. If people do not reply in 10 days, then they will distribute the unclaimed prizes in order of the 2nd list of 50.

Ok I"m patient

But I'm ECF member and won, but if I didnt send anything to any1 here that will be a problem? )email, adress etc)

Did you get chosen in this thread by Ollie's Prize Bot/SmokeyJoe, or did you win via the online contest?

If you were one of the 50 chosen in this thread, you need to send SmokeyJoe a private message with your information.

If you were a winner and contacted by Smok via email, you need to wait for the second email. Patiently. :)
