I don't know if the drawing will live on, but I think he said that part of the point was to get people to open them and not sell them on ebay.If Pete decides to do a drawing next year, maybe he should just number all the boxes as he did this year, and then randomly draw numbers next year. Might make things a bit easier, and less bullshit.
I'd be willing to bet that this box was cracked open to sell as singles, and then it ended up being sold complete, but the retailer should've let you know.
