Well the contest has closed and the winners were announced. Before I go on with my rant, I do want to congratulate the two winners. Out of all the videos submitted I do actually believe that theirs were in the top 5 for sure. The winner “Captain Kirk” I thought very early on had a strong chance of winning, and I do believe that he was a good choice for the grand prize winner.

But here are my complaints.

So my wife and I are trying to win a trip for 8 to Jamaica. To celebrate the launch of a new lottery game, the BC Lottery Corp has put out the Lotto Max Video Contest, where contestants submit their video of what they would do with the money if they won. The winning video gets the trip – The top 10 videos with the most votes are then hand picked by the judges for a winner to be determined.

Here are the videos my wife and I have submitted, and the links to view them on the site and Vote for us. You can vote again every day. I am BEGGING for the support of my readers. Log in and vote each and every day! Please?
