from Email Landing Page: "Increase your chances of winning the Pack Share something about us: [twitter button]"

from Front Page: "we will randomly select 250 lucky startups that will get the Pack."

If this is not a biased random sweepstakes, I would remove that wording. I know nothing about US sweepstakes laws, but I think biased random is (at best) a gray area.
