i cant believe i havent won yet! im so disappointed! but someone won from Embro, thats close to where i live! you’re soo lucky. im still going to be standing outside winter garnden theatre even if i dont win haha. but im still hoping

Well at least somebody from Sudbury has won so far.  Congrats to all the winners and I’m still keeping my fingers crossed.

How did the winners for Wednesday September 26th get posted when the day isnt over yet?

Well congraulations much be given out yet again to people who aren’t me *sighs*.

Sigh, me too, outside Winter Gardens no matter what. Three more days…

ahah , i wanna win so bad !
i just hope the last 3 draws are more people FROM OUTSIDE of toronto
we wanna win tooo ! :D

Fingers crossed !

Every time I see the list go up and I’m not on it, a part of me dies. I want to win this so insanely much! Can you help a brother out? My life revolves around HP. Wish me luck! 

ach. my life is pointless now.

hmmph. please convince jk rowiling to come to ottawa

Congratulations to the winners. i havent won yet, but i am convinced that i will win soon.

lol everytime I enter and every time it’s not me :(

Oh by the way, does Raincoast notify the winners before they’re posted up on this site or afterwards?

What exactly happens to the tickets giving to individuals who cannot make it to the event, is there an extra draw?

Ahh only 3 days left!! thats 30 people!!... lol I so want to go this.. I wish there more tickets available somehow…

Hi Sheila - The winners announced today are drawn from the set of people who entered yesterday.

Hi Rem - I think most days we’ve been posting the names here first, and notifying the winners after.

Hi Lindsay - If it turns out that someone wins but can’t come to the event, we’ll draw another name from the batch of people who entered on the day that the original winner entered.

so tomorrow it’s anyone that entered anytime from midnight last night up untill midnight tonight?

isn’t it two more chances?

I’m so upset whenever I see the list and I’m not on it! Each day is starting to be the same: sitting in class wanting the school day to be over, obsessively checking the website to see the winner list, all to find out that my name isn’t on it… oh well, three more chances… all hope is not lost, I could still win…

Ho-hum....another day and still my name hasn’t been drawn… Faithfully everyday, along with others, I enter the “draw”, but to no avail, I’m not one of them… Is there any other way of getting tickets once the contest is over and us faithful ones would still like a shot at seeing Ms. Rowlings?

Please let us know so that we can be part of the lucky ones…

*sighing again for the eight days straight*

I am still confused.  Initially werent the winners from September the 17th posted on the 18th and the winners from the 18th posted on the 19th?  It was like all the entries that went into the draw on the 17th of September untiil midnight were then drawn the next day however those winners were for the previous days enteries.  So now there are 3 more draws?  So there will be a draw on Saturday?

i accidentally entered twice today… does that mean i’m disqualified??? :’(

I agree with Silvana… Jo should come to Ottawa, too… She should just do a massive tour of Canada.  Hopefully she’ll do that, one day, to give more fans a chance to meet her.

I always have really bad luck with these things… maybe it’ll be different for this one… *sigh* I’ll just have to cross my fingers.

Amazing to see that a disproportionate amount of winners are from Ontario.  Are Canadians from other provinces not interested in the contest?

I am still trying .... but far, no luck.

Just wondering how you draw the names (randomly)? 

It is interesting that the word I was asked to type in when I submit this comment is “hard63”.  hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

how long does it take to get a comment approved and posted? i submitted my commented yesterday and it still didn’t get put up :S

Sniff sniff… where are the winners from Quebec? Only 2? It breaks my heart not to see my name up there… Good luck to all of you! especially Montrealers!

Maybe they’re going to do another weekend draw… I don’t know, though, what you said makes sense. I hope there’re 3 more chances!
