"One lucky winner and a guest of his or her choosing will receive: Must be 21 or over (thanks norfolkmist - see post #2).
Also, Moneybot (see post #5) pointed out that the T&C mention only US airfares. My guess is this is just a typo on their part as airfares from UK are clearly stated in the prize description, but best to know if you are thinking of entering.

    Thanks can I also add the prize includes

    Two round-trip economy class tickets to New York City from an airport nearest Winner's home residence in the United States

    It does say it's open to UK residents but doesn't say anything about flights from the UK
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Had a look it does say: Round-trip airfare to NYC from anywhere in the U.S. and U.K. should I be looking elsewhere on the comp ?
