Rush
Rush is a deal where they sell X amt of something at a very big discount. But you can only win by responding quickly enough when the 14,000 slots are filled.
It's up to 12,000 right now. They have 14 of them, so 1 in 1000 chance.

A lottery for the right to purchase something for cheap on very short notice?

Used in the same as any other product lottery I would guess. To give your personal info away for sales and marketing purposes.

Kind of a more transparent Google.

They deny that explicitly.
RUSH is an experiment to bring more traffic to DailySteals.com. The mission of Daily Steals is to provide amazing products for insanely low prices, and RUSH is the truest form of that idea. We hope that our customers will love RUSH (and our deals) enough to help us spread the word without ridiculous marketing costs.

We only use your email address to let you know about RUSH. We will NEVER send you spam or sell your information.

I figure it's mostly a way for them to get new users. At any rate, please sign up so this damned thing will trigger

It finally triggered. 4 claimed in the first pass. 2 more claimed in the next pass. So still 8 remaining.
The time to claim is 10 minutes.

How do the notifications come through? Email?

I don't know. I assume winners get an email, maybe they don't.
As a loser, the only notification I got was onscreen/.

So if I'm reading it right, once a certain number of people are waiting it triggers the "sale" and x number of random winners are picked and notified somehow.
If you "lose" 5 times in a row, you're entered into a loser's bracket.

It's down for me too. Also, no emails to my Inbox regarding winning or losing.
