    I'm sad that this

    This globally run promotion is not open to residents of Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and China who are ineligible to participate in this global promotion due to local requirements.

    is in force, with no-one able to answer WHAT these local requirements are.

    I can't say for sure about NZ, but in Australia, competitions which are won "by chance" or "random selection" qualify as lotteries and have to meet certain requirements, be registered specially and recieve and display an LTPS permit number. Many competitions I know instead force you to do a "25 words or less" to change it to a "game of skill" which makes it exempt from these lottery governmental requirements. At least, that's how someone explained it to me previously image.
