No my post was number 395 of many more posts and I think the random numbers are probably from a random number generator program that Adam used for the number selection. So post number one or 201 or any number could have just as easily been the winning number.

Contest Period

The November giveway will last from November 1 through November 30th (GMT-8). There will also be a third iteration of the giveaway in December, with different sets of prizes each month, including lenses, cameras, and swag.

This giveaway series will feature rotating prizes in three different categories: "past", "present", and "future", to honor vintage, classic, and next-generation Pentax gear.

How to Enter

Starting at midnight GMT-8 on November 1st, there are three ways to enter to win each set of three prizes!

"Grand Prize" raffle - Your choice of a Pentax KP in black or silver, Pentax Forums T-shirts, loyal site supporter account upgrades
- How to enter: You get 1 raffle entry for every 100 forum posts in November. 20 bonus posts per review posted once you've reached 100 forum posts. Claim all your raffle entries by posting once in the raffle thread.
"General" raffle - DA 55-300mm PLM lens, Theta SC, site supporter account upgrades
- How to enter: You get 1 raffle entry if you've made at least 10 forum posts in November . Claim your raffle entry by posting once in the raffle thread.
Official photo contest - Your choice of a MZ-S or LX, site supporter account upgrade, Red River Paper sampler pack

Prizes

Winner Announcement & Contest Tracking

The winners for this month's raffles will be announced at the beginning of December, and the winners of the photo contest will be announced in the third week of December, per our usual photo contest procedure.

As usual, there are no geographical restrictions on who may enter, but limit one grand prize per household for the duration of the event.

There will be a notice at the top of each forum page so that you can track your raffle progress:

I already have a KP, so I'm not entering the 'raffle' for the "Grand Prize" this month, but I'm expecting the "Grand Prize" in December will be the not-yet-announced camera ..... in which case posting volume ~~may~~ will be up just to compete for one.

added: for each of October and November, the new month was announced around 8:30pm EST of the last day of the previous month. If Adam were to stick to that pattern, he will announce the December 'raffles' in just about eight hours.

Adam · 11-30-2019, 11:30 AM

As an FYI guys, today is the last day to enter in the November raffles. Best of luck to everyone!

Adam · 11-30-2019, 10:46 PM

2 hour, 15 minute warning for entering in this month's raffles!

NotMyFatDog · 12-01-2019, 12:35 AM

Wow! Looking forward to December - bit late on the Nov contest. Great of you guys to offer that!

**aslyfox** · 12-01-2019, 05:06 AM

We are awaiting news of the winners of the now closed Nov Raffles

Time to be patient and let Adam do his thing

While waiting do some posting so you qualify for the last Raffles
