Tell Me Something I Don't Know...

Specifically, why some national companies, businesses, programs and/or organizations have exceptions for residents of a specific or a couple specific states.

I wanted to enter to win Ellen's 12 Days of Giveaways and it seems all Florida residents are eligible for is $1k.

I don't get it.

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

No. You know too much already.

It's not the organizations... it's the varying State laws.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

State gambling laws. Some states like to have a government monopoly on gambling (in the form of their lottery)

I mean I always see Texas excluded, but that's self-explanatory.

This is the first I've read about FL. (I always read the rules before entering any sort of sweepstakes, giveaway or contest.)

What a bummer!

Edit: Yea, I think that's pretty fucked up I can't win all thirteen days of Ellen's 12 Days of Giveaways.

The Peoples Republic of Florida have very strict rules and laws about many things, contests, insurance, extended warranties, etc. This is due in part to so many people scumbags preying on the elderly.

For many years, Applecare was not available in Florida

Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.

And the Federal government has the monopoly on Ponzi schemes, but they call it "social security".

Hey! Don't fuck with my SS, dude.










I'll need the $$ for jumping by then.

My reality and yours are quite different.
