If you're a Quebec resident, you know how frustrating it is to join and participate in contests. This past week, we tried to join a couple for my daughter (and a College basketaball NCAA March Madness tourney), and discovered we were not eligible.
Very annoying.
So. Why is this so? Why is Quebec the only jurisdiction on the continent to have people go through this?
Why, what else is new here? It's a complicated process for sponsors to even bother:
"The reason why residents of Quebec are not eligible to enter many Canada sweepstakes is not because the sponsors don't want to advertise in Quebec, and it's nothing personal against any of the residents of that fine province. Rather, many sweepstakes are void in Quebec because the sponsors must follow a stringent set of rules set out by the Quebec government."
More in detail here.
Of course, it's always under the guise of "protecting citizens."
Yet, no one still knows what happens to all the money in Loto Quebec's coffers.
Happy birthday to your mother, even if a day late.
