From the “I won the lottery--sort of” desk…

So we opened out staff mailbox today and discovered a press release from The American Balloon, né former DT blogger Miroku Hotei (yes, we know this guy; no, we’re not getting paid off), announcing PopLottery. What is PopLottery, you ask? The PopCopy web site says it best:

PopLottery is a promotion offered by PopCopy.net, where you can win free stuff just for using or buying PopCopy.  Think of a PopLottery day as a Software Holiday.  Whenever it is a PopLottery day, it will be announced on this page.  Some will be scheduled, and some will be completely random, so keep checking back here to see whether it is a PopLottery day.  When it is a PopLottery day, enter the contest by following the instructions below.  You can enter by email or by purchasing PopCopy.  Those who enter by purchasing PopCopy have the greatest chances of winning.

No purchase necessary, void where prohibited, etc…

Simple enough, I guess. PopLottery’s prizes include free goodies from Mac developers The Omni Group, Specere, and shinywhitebox. More information can be found on the PopLottery information page.

UPDATE: The first PopLottery drawing has been extended until Thursday, June 29 at 11:59 PM Pacific (UTC -7).
