Woot! Just got a "you won an H2O" email, minutes after successfully snagging an Early Bird reward tier on the Pebble Time Kickstarter. (I guess that makes today Two-fer-Tuesday?)
Now, that's just greedy!

Congrats!

The next step is that they will email you a quizz (the same quizz for everyone) and after you complete that you will be in the holding mode for the device to actually be allocated to you and then leave wherever it is.
I seem to have jumped straight to that step; here's what I received (from the contest@ address, and with excess blank lines removed):

Quote:
Dear [redacted],
Thank you for participating in Kobo's Accomplished Aficionado Trivia Contest!

CONGRATULATIONS! You are the winner of a Kobo Aura H2O eReader!

While the contest closed several weeks ago, your name has been drawn from our participating players in a random draw as a part of our prize fullfillment process.

Please reply to this message with your full shipping address (including a daytime phone number), and an answer to the below skill testing question so we can prepare to ship your prize.

Skill Testing Question: (42 + 3) – (5 x 3) = ________
Please note, we require a response to this email by 5:00pm EST March 6, 2015 to claim your prize. If we do not hear from you by this date, we will be required to draw an alternate winner for this prize.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact us at this email address at any time.
Thank you,
Christopher (on behalf of Team Kobo)
Naturally, I replied with the requested information as soon as I saw the email, which was about 45 minutes after it was sent (and about 5 hours ago now).

Last year when I won a Kobo Touch, I got the winning email immediately after I answered the contest question, but they didn't send me the follow up email until three months later. At that time, they didn't ask me the "skill testing question." They only requested my shipping address and phone number.

Maybe they've changed their processes since then; this email was my first clue that I'd won anything.

Bob I thought you won one of the end of Contest prizes not one of the daily prizes.

That is, if a person completes the entire 10 games then they are in the draw for the final Contest prizes, either the cash etc or the ereaders.

That's my impression; it certainly fits the text of the letter.

Other than opening it, it is the same a for the other devices. Opening it is the problem as there is some glue around the screen sealing it. Someone posted details in the Kobo forum not that long after the H2O was released.

Congrats Rev Bob! Make sure you keep all emails as you will most likely have to repeatedly prove you won it. And hunker down for a loooong wait.
You will get it eventually, just dont plan for it to be soon

Accomplished Aficionado Trivia Contest? Is that the last month contest? So they only email you now?

I'm wondering if it's later because the people they contacted initially didn't respond by the deadline, etc., etc. and it led to Rev. Bob also eventually getting the offer. That's how I interpreted the email. Could be wrong though.
