Notice the postcard "TEXAS" with the Oil Well picture.....

Paperwork is involved and will need to be notarized before presenting the prize.Then on that day they ambush the winner.

This is simply used to select the BIN number.... If the BIN falls on the Mail In Entries then they walk over to the Bin and dump all mail out and select from the pile (blindfolded of course). If the ball falls on the virtual bin then they go over to a computer that is randomly shuffling all entries received associated with the bin number that was selected, once the space bar is hit the system stops shuffling the names then the winner's name is displayed Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:00:18 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/urban-oasis/2010/11/10/we-chose-a-winner/#IDComment109930906 http://blog.hgtv.com/urban-oasis/2010/09/23/urban-oasis-coming-and-going/#IDComment100588403 We have a scheduled vacation trip to NYC/ Brooklyn in December of this year to celebrate Christmas early... hotel and flight are already booked. How sweet would it be if we can have the luxury of canceling the hotel accommodations to break in the Urban Oasis home B) Thu, 23 Sep 2010 21:20:53 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/urban-oasis/2010/09/23/urban-oasis-coming-and-going/#IDComment100588403 http://blog.hgtv.com/urban-oasis/2010/08/03/introducing-urban-oasis/#IDComment90825648 That's hilarious... but you hit the nail on the head with that one.... dreams via HGTV do not require you to give your hard earned cash to the state... unless you win of course.

If my family is chosen to be the lucky winners of this pad in Manhattan... I wont even need to find another JOB, my employer's headquarters is literally around the corner from there, but on a serious note good luck to all and keep the comments positive and remember you shall give to receive.
