Hillary Clinton is offering a chance for one lucky person and a guest to join her for dinner. The campaign is inviting supporters to “chip in” to be automatically entered in the contest, although no contribution is required:

However, it’s not all luck and “chance.” In the end, the Hillary for America campaign (the “Sponsor”) will hand-pick the winner from a pool of 100 “potential winners” based on “views, backgrounds, and interests.” A look at the contest fine print (which in reality is not that fine, but must be accessed on a separate webpage) reveals the following paragraph:
It is unclear from the rules how the campaign will determine what the “views, backgrounds, and interests” of the potential winners are. The rules do, however, allow for a background check on potential winners, although that check presumably has more to do with security than anything else:
The Clinton campaign did not respond to a request for an explanation of the process to determine the “views, backgrounds, and interests” of the potential winners.
