@Robino1 . . . Well first - here is a better smiley for "You" to use . . . .
Or - More appropriately, for those Blonde moments . . .

@Uncle
Didn't see your name or email on any of the lists. You might want to check it out. I'm pretty sure you said you had won one???? Or not. I forget between this contest and the first one.
THANK YOU . . .
Already did . . . Just As An FYI: See Below > > > > >
He wasn't sure if it was his name in this one, was the same first and part of last, but as he had never gotten a first email he was wondering if there was some way to check it out.
As
@NancyR . . . Mentioned
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ I was wondering because I saw "My" given First Name in the list of Winners, however I never received any emails (for the reasons as "We" discussed in private) . . .
SO - Given that I never got a reply to "My" post here in this thread from anyone in charge/running the contest - nor any of the the PM/Conversations I sent (NOT NICE ! ! !

), I finally contacted "Support @ Smoketech" Directly with the personal information that was requested in Becca's earlier post . . . Which finally resulted in an Email Reply 24 hours later and after going back and forth for a couple of days . . . End result - I was able to learn eventually and confirm that I was not that "Person" on the list of Winners who won . . .
I had a feeling that they would be checking emails against a list of winners emails/names.
YES - As "You" Stated, it seems that WInner's are being confirmed based on the email address that was registered when entering contest and who they sent emails out to as being an actual Winner . . . At least that is the information that they said they used to confirm that I was not a Winner of this drawing as I thought I was . . .
NOW - This is absolutely NOT A Complaint . . . It is just a thought & possible suggestion - based on "My" Personal Opinion . . . Although I know, from what has been said previously, that these Manufacturer's contest/drawing and the winners being chosen has been somewhat a "Trial & Error", especially given the size of the prize pool and with the amount of People - both within ECF and from Social Media sites entering . . . I really hope that what has happened in these past few major contest that the learning curve for any/all other future Contest/Drawings like these will be handled just a little differently . . . Maybe even have a couple of selected ECF Members become
"Contest Helpers" (Like @NancyR and @FringeChief68 to only name 2 possibilities) to work directly with the sponsors, especially to cut down on the confusion, keep the thread updated, and to assist throughout the process . . . IMO - A Contest really shouldn't be so labor intensive, nor based on obtuse responses or speculation - It most definitely NEEDS to be, without a doubt - FUN - for everyone. . .
Once again - This is NOT A complaint - It is "My" Personal Opinion, a thought and possible suggestion/s to consider . . . Just Sayin' . . .
