Where do you see this phone input? I don't see it even after entering my email. Unless maybe I did it the first day and now it's not asking anymore?
in the email confirmation. After confirming, you get a chance to double your entries

Working on a solution for this.

While we’re at it, the email confirmation also doesn’t say what day the entry is for. Especially pertinent Motzei Shabbos where you might enter once for both Friday’s giveaway and Shabbos’.

@jj1000 not getting email confirmation
Due to the tech difficulties, we entered everyone into the day 2/3 raffle, even if the email wasn't confirmed.

We're still debugging the issues for day 4, so please try to verify if you get an email confirmation.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I got an email confirmation pretty quickly. (Email came 26 minutes ago. Don't remember how much before I signed up, but not too much before.)

The problem is people with odd email domains I believe.

Server doesn't think they are real.

Domain or TLD?
Are you using SES?

@jj1000 , in the giveaway, shouldn't 'Marble & Grain' be clickable to promote them?

I have always appreciated how honest DD was with its advertising.

I am very disappointed that today DD is advertising an "All you can eat wine and steak" yet limiting it to $1500. $1500 worth is FAR from all I can eat. such a letdown.

You know I debated this in my head right?

So here was my logic.

I never said the time period.

So let's assume one meal.

Most expensive cut of meat is $84/lb so that means eating 5.9lbs of meat.

Then I went to look at the most expensive bottle of wine and found one for $529.99 and the next for $399.99, so you can at least get 2+ bottles of wine.

So.

Let's assume you ate 5.9 POUNDS of steak and you drank 2 bottles of $500 wine... I felt it safe to assume you would no longer be able to pick up a phone and call me to complain.

So with that in mind, I felt comfortable saying all you can eat and drink ;)

That amount of meat and wine in one setting is ben-sorer-umoreh grade

Oh, should I try again with my gmail account instead of my zohomail account? (Re: Day 4 - entered yesterday but still didn't get confirmation)

ETA: I entered as "Testing NotRealEntry" with my gmail account and got a confirmation email in ten seconds (autoforwarded to my zohomail account, naturally). You should comment that entries work best with a gmail (etc) account.

I believe the winner phone calls are fake. Who still answers calls from unknown numbers?
