Did you confirm the Disney stuff?
I did get the paperwork off for the Disney trip, had a few anxious days, and got confirmation email from helloworld that they received it. Cost me about $13 extra beyond 2-day express delivery charge because it was a holiday, and USPS did not update the status as delivered until 8 hours after it was delivered. I'm thinking Amazon should take over the postal service...LOL
Now I have to wait 8-10 weeks for helloworld to confirm everything is OK.
For instance, a Group 1 prize can be expected every 48 second on average between 6:00 a.m. and 10:59 a.m. ET, while any specific prize in that group will have a lower frequency.
Similarly, a Group 4 prize can be expected roughly once per hour on average between 3:00 a.m. and 5:59 a.m. ET each day. Note that the flight tickets and the snowboard have an expected frequency greater than the daily time window for the group, so these prizes will be available every day.
Here are the average number of prizes available in each prize group each day:
No biggie if you want to continue to try to sell them, or let them die in your email, just an offer if you'd like them to maybe get some use. The ones I don't give out by private message, I'll post on either the 30th or 31st.

I was pretty philosophical about whether I would get it or not. Turns out, it came.
Comparing the table entries in the Holiday IWG that you did, at first sight it might appear that a United Airline tickets win was 1.97 times more likely than an Xbox win in the previous contest.
But that would be wrong!
We have to adjust for the fact we were given 20 tries, per account. per day in the previous IWG and only 3 tries, per account. per day in this one. That makes the odds of winning the airline ticket vouchers 3.38 times more difficult than winning an Xbox in the previous IWG.
But given the fact that the ARV of the tickets is $1,500 and an Xbox One S 500GB Console - Madden NFL 18 Bundle is $239.98 on Amazon, a value ratio of 6.25 to 1, the airline prize is still well worth the effort. Assuming of course that those were the only two prizes you wanted.
What I haven't yet tried to adjust for is the fact that in the previous IWG if you won one of the minor prizes you could keep playing. In this one as soon as you win any prize the music stops.
I was pretty philosophical about whether I would get it or not. Turns out, it came.
Congrats!
