No purchase necessary

Just for the heck of it, I was reading the instructions on what you need to do if you want a chance at winning a drawing for a free Bowman 2007 insert card and I came across this line: "Potential Canadian winners will be required to first correctly answer the mathematical skill-testing question. Include on a 3 x 5 card the answer to the following skill-test question: 30 + 10 x 2 - 40 = ?"

What's up with that?

    The mathematic question is a loophole in Canuck lottery law allowing those citizens a chance to claim a prize.
