Probably didnt want to be overwelmed with demand for tickets so claimed some will be online.
Then didnt want to sell online because they messed Nola up.
Call it crowd/flipper management.

Pretty sure its you addressing this type of question to the wrong people...you say you don't want to start an argument or create conflict, well my friend you will because nobody outside of a very select one or three at POW proberly know the answer.
Ask the right fecking people...stop flaming this forum...
damn anyone would think this was the POW complaints department

Asked POW via email same question and no answer.
Asking the forum politely and specifically stating that no debate regarding whinging should occur.
what else can I do save for saying nothing?
Im just trying to figure out some concrete info for my own records thats all, no complaining etc.
sorry if i'm 'flaming' you dude

Go and get a life. Go and do something worthwhile.
They're a business, no a f***in' charity. Perhaps you feel they ought to employ a customer services advisor to deal with the undoubted flood of emails they get asking such trivial information or requests.
They've got better things to do than waste time trying to satisfy your 'own records'.

POW Misinformation or Mistake?, by Mobu on Dec 10, 2008 16:31:13 GMT 1, Everyone cracks me up on this forum.. it's like a bunch of old women in a sewing circle!!
Maybe the draw was from back to front so they have yet to draw the person who gets one free etc! I have yet to hear one person on this forum say that they won one for free... also who has a very low number on the forum?
I knew the odds were against me to winning one so I can live with it  even though I think it's probably the finest print banksy has released in a long long time so I am a little bit gutted!
There is a chance yet of them coming online so keep your fingers cross and stop moaning or bitching.. also I find a lot of the replies ont hsi forum very aggressive in nature so lets all chill out a little, drink a mulled wine and be thankful for our health and families, after all it is christmas!!!!!

Nobody has really considered that there might be a different image released online. Just because they didn't say it, doesn't mean it won't happen. End of the week I reckon.

They do try but I think the truth is that POW isn't the most organized organization in the world. And I wouldn't want it any other way!

Sightsavers banked £24,406.61 from lottery ticket sales, so many
of you were very generous. All lottery ‘winners’ will be notified by noon Friday.
there is still a chance people won! stay positive

I agree! It's generally greed or desire that drives people to queue for a print. Clever of POW to turn these naughty elements of human nature into a vessel for raising money for a great charity!
HATS OFF I SAY!

Who cares, they sell street art, not stocks and shares (although they would do a better job at those too at the moment)
