"No later than January 10, 2011, Sponsor will hold a random drawing for alternative entries received for each Treasure Hunt objective and for the Grand Prize drawing, using the same odds as applied for each actual regular drawing (determined by the number of regular entries for each Treasure Hunt objective). Sponsor will award prizes to each such alternative entry winner. Sponsor will contact each winner via email to the address registered to the winning account. The decision of the Sponsor will be final and binding in all matters."

So it appears alternate entries will have a separate drawing all together, completely separate from the standard method. Theoretically the odds are much better to win via this method since I doubt a lot of people will submit alternate entries. Of course the people who do enter with this method will likely enter for all 28 treasure hunt objectives, which means there is little "edge" you'd be able to get compaired to other entrants.

The bolded part is confusing though. Does it mean that they'll randomly select alternate entries depending on the odds of the finished sweepstakes from normal enteries, or does it imply that the odds will be determined the same way the standard odds are determined? Probably going to e-mail them about that.

Sadly, I don't have that sitting in my Paypal because I'm a broke bitch. I do already have two of those achievements, though.
