It makes a bit more sense if you look at the comma as the separator:

My baby:

CPU - i7-4790,

MB - Z97-A,

RAM - Corsair Veng. LP 16gb,

GPU - MSI GTX 1060,

PSU - CXM 600,

Cooler - Hyper Evo 212,

I'm confused.

They say you get 1,000 of their digital currency, which according to this page is worth 1,000 of whatever your local currency is.

But in the official terms and conditions they say 

 

So each grand prize is 1,000 EVGA Bucks.......and 1,000 EVGA Bucks = 1,000 in your local currency......and yet somehow 1,000 in your local currency also equals 1.00 USD?

Maybe a way to avoid paying high taxes.    Instead of a few ten bucks or so on taxes, you pay like a few cents.

I own EVGA, just not a GeForce 4 series, I could've owned one if i worked at the "legal" age and saved (had enough time to do so) but the cost of getting one plus everything else minus Min wage at the time ($6.85 less taxes), wasn't worth it nor feasible considering the 7600 i got a few years later, and back then not actually needing a computer unlike kids now. This means this is really for those who are pushing 35 years or older now, if i was 5 or more years older i likely would of owned one from this gen, but like @Coaxialgamer it probably wasn't going to be EVGA, for me it was likely going to be BFG at the time.

 

This means this promo is aiming for a niche market (those who buy GPU's) in a niche market (those old enough to of bought one of the 2 specific GPU's) in a niche market (those that horde shit). While i dont have my 7600 anymore i do have everything else afterwards, but BFG isn't going to come back and say HEY we'll give $1000 for your BFG 210... Someone old in EVGA likely just wants to stare at something before they retire, or maybe a cruel retirement gift...

Like I said. I find this type of new interesting and was glad to be able to read about it regardless if it applies to me.
