I believe I had heard(although a Google search to confirm was fruitless) that in Canada you have to prove some ‘ability’ to claim a prize. In otherwords you must earn the prize, not just be handed it for free. To get around that restriction, contests will often have the selected winner answer a question of about the same dificulty as your spambot blocker.
