CIRRUS (little 'r' in circle) "MONEY MONEY EVERYWHERE" SWEEPSTAKES
OFFICIAL RULES
1. etc.
2. etc.
3. etc.
4. All winners will be notified ... Winners who are Canadian residents
must also correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question which will
be administered by Productcom at a pre-arranged, mutually convenient
time before a prize will be awarded.

This is based on some obscure feature of Canadian law. If you have to
answer the question (probably What's 2 + 2?), it ceases being a
lottery. This avoids taxes in some way, or perhaps, prevents it from
being illegal. Of course, the provinces run lotteries...
