"Residents of the Province of Quebec are not eligible and Canadian residents must complete a skill testing question to be awarded the prize should they be selected."

Quebec is excluded from a lot of contests. This isnt unique.
 
Yeah, our laws are anal about constests and suck pretty hard for no good reason.
 
Having never won anything, what happens when you win a pricier item like the LSI? If it's worth around $7000.00, doesn't that mean you then have to fork out a "win" taxes of about $3500 (50-ish%) if you are lucky (or unlucky) enough to win? While it would be cool to win and play with, forking out $3500 in i-won taxes would suck for something like this that's hard to sell.
 
Paying down the tax would certainly be a bummer for that particular item... but the others.. lol
 
I think you're taxed at the regular bracket on your winnings if you're in the USA, and if the winner is in Canada they'd have to pay %30 to the IRS.
