How To Play

Everyday we will be giving away one or more prizes worth $300 or more. For each of the prizes there will be a daily reverse auction. Never heard of a reverse auction? Well, unlike a normal auction where the highest bid wins in a reverse auction the lowest unique bid wins the given prize! This makes the competition a lot more fun.

Worked Example of a Reverse Auction:

Worked example:

- four people bid ‘1′

- two people bid ‘2′

- five people bid ‘3′

- two people bid ‘4′

- one person bids ‘5′

- five people bid ‘6′

- one person bids ‘7′

there are two unique bids, 5 & 7, but the person who 5 wins because theirs is the lowest

four people bid ‘1′
two people bid ‘2′
five people bid ‘3′
two people bid ‘4′
one person bids ‘5′
five people bid ‘6′
one person bids ‘7′

In this auction there are two unique bids, 5 & 7, but the person who bid 5 wins because their bid was the lowest unique bid.

It’s free to enter and you can bid as many times as you like each day. To play all you have to do is go to http://www.windows7news.com/auction and register -it’s that simple! Register now so that you are ready to start playing in the first auction starting on Tuesday. Remember to keep checking back to see what prizes are coming up to win.
