And why is it that every one whos winning lives with in 3 hours of Toronto.
I thought this conest is for all of Canada.

Hi Aranka - The contest is for all of Canada, and everyone (regardless of where they live) has an equal chance of winning, as we’re choosing the winners in random draws.

I seems that the majority of people entering do live near Toronto. It makes sense, considering they need to get to the event ... getting there from Vancouver, for example, might be a little more difficult! wink

Yes, but I’m at least one person in BC who would drop everything and spend whatever it takes just to be there to hear Jo read - even though for me it’s an 11 hour drive to Vancouver and a very expensive flight from there!!!

I agree, Carly. It would be very cool to have Canadians from across the country at the event! Keep on entering the contest—and keep your fingers crossed! Isn’t there some good luck charm that they teach you at Hogwarts?

Geez! I keep entering once every morning and then every afternoon after-school I check in to only find that I wasn’t picked, AGAIN!! Oh pleaseeeeeeeee God make me win tomorrow and my life will be complete!!!!!!

Thanks very much for this contest!  I think it’s a great opportunity for fans across the country.  I too wish that more from out west would win!  Too bad there isn’t a draw for one person from each province (or something to that effect) each day.  I guess the population density in Ontario tips the scales in their favour.  But, as a long time JK Rowling fan, I’m keeping my fingers crossed!  Good luck everyone!  I hope all who win have an absolutely fantastic time!  Cheers from Calgary.
