Uh – this is one contest I DON’T want to win! LOL – As cool as it would be – scary!!
Thank You. Space the Final Frontier 🙂
“In lieu of the trip and check for $25,000.” Does this mean that you can collect $25,000 instead of the trip? Did you perhaps mean “a” instead of “and”?
And did you notice that the trip will be taken sometime between now and 2020?? I’ll be 70 years old in 2020!! Yikes!! I’d still go!
Nope, it’s just missing the beginning part of that sentence: In the event, the Grand Prize winner does not meet space travel requirements, or if Sponsor is unable to provide trip by December 31, 2020 because of any technical, governmental or other reason, Sponsor will award the winner, the complete prize of a check for $86,000, in lieu of the trip and check for $25,000.
Pass!! LOL
Wow sure sounds cool on paper but no thank you! Who thought up this prize anyways? I mean why not give someone a week on a submarine too?
