Give Aways
-
Thank you YoopeeDog. I didn’t have any problem connecting either. For me, connectivity wasn’t the issue; the primary issue was the difficulty in entering the giveaway, nor the website. The link worked great for me to enter the website discussion. Registration (entering) for the giveaway was the problem. And clearly I am not the only one who had this issue. This situation also meant that several users who wanted to participate in the main event spent all, our time in frustration trying to use the website function of registering for the giveaway. It is so great that Jonathan and the crew even have the giveaway lottery, So for that, kudos to Walton’s! And congratulations to the winners!
Some of us just had unnecessary frustration, and I don’t think that Is what Walton’s would have wanted. -
It seems like youtube has been having livestreaming issues recently. Sadly, there really isn’t an alternative service that offers the same functionality.

Jonathon Thank you for hearing us and trust me there are more people. Its not connecting to the live stream thats the problem. It’s trying to connect to the drawing entry while connected to live stream. It will not let you do it. Please make it easier to like a link to push while watching live stream. Not fair not being able to enter the drawings… The problem makes good customers turn away. Just being honest and just saying my friend.

Thank you, Jonathan. Would there be alternatives such as Zoom that might work for the informative sessions and then a simple sign up at Walton’s? Maybe separating the two: the live stream and the entry, would work? I am not being critical of YouTube, but I don’t think that it was designed to efficiently do these two tasks simultaneously, and it is just so darned frustrating. They wanted private information to proceed with the entry process (birthdate) which is highly unusual and certainly unnecessary. I imagine the reason is for marketing other products. Really, does Walton’s care if I am 31 or 51? Other sites do, so my name and birthdate can be sold to marketers. Is that what Walton’s wants?
So back to my original point, isn’t it possible to find a better way, rather than just deferring to a process, Youtube, that “had problems”? I think those problems reflect unnecessarily and badly on Walton’s -

Hopefully, they will hear you and in my layman’s terms do something to make it easier to enter the drawings and still watch the live stream. Good job explaining.

Robb Most contest/giveaways require that you be 18 years of age or older, they can’t verify your age, if they don’t have your date of birth. Yes I understand you can just put in whatever date you want, but that is why they are collecting the information. I doubt Walton’s is selling your information to anyone. For your convenience I have included the applicable section of the contest rules below:
NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.
A PURCHASE DOES NOT INCREASE THE CHANCES OF WINNING.
Eligibility: Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”) is open only to those who are 18 as of the date of entry. The sweepstakes is only open to legal residents of the United States and is void where prohibited by law.

I’ve only noticed this date of birth thing for last couple of livestreams. Never had to do that prior. I was hopping between the house and garage yesterday and had my laptop on YouTube and Chromebook on the Meatgistics link. No issues either way. Entries appeared on both. Very strange what this folks are experiencing. -

I am most appreciative of Walton and the effort put in by those who make the live stream and giveaway possible. It is a gift to us and I don’t feel entitled to it, but rather a blessing to be able to participate and learn from both Walton and participants. Thank you Walton and the fantastic crew.

PapaSop I had trouble getting logged in myself but think it was you tube causing it. Used my email and bam, I was in.
@Fat-Bob yes it was difficult. Thanks for your response. I lost my chances to win.

Chef You are so right. It is very nice indeed. Awesome as a matter of fact. But I am certain that waltons wants to know about the problems people are having inorder to enter and so that winning is fair for everyone. Thank you for your response.

Little Baby Teddy There are to many things out of Walton’s control. You surely can’t fix them all without saying you can ONLY enter at our link. Just try a different one if the first choice doesn’t work. Gmail, You Tube, Facebook what ever…but you’re on the right track. Walton’s does want to know about issues. It helps them give their providers a hard time about their system not working when we overload them.

@Fat-Bob the funny part is I did just that. But it only worked for me after the prizes were already gone. Lol. I should say I think it work? Thanks for your response.

I just wanted to enter for the daily entry for July’s giveaway and all my entries are gone. I have entered every day since this giveaway started. What can I do to get all my entries back?
Bilbeau sounds like you just need to get logged back into the account you entered through.

I just entered into the August Giveaway for the first time this month, and it shows 58 days remaining. Is August and September being combined into one drawing?

I see it’s fixed (it’s correctly showing 27 days left now).
