Hi BTOR, I went to the site and it seems you are correct, the rules have changed. I agree with you: VERY DISAPOINTING. I left a comment asking confirmation about this change, and I will edit my initial post. I'm sorry for every non-US residents (including me...).

UPDATE (February, 3): This is the answer from the site:

Yes, only US residents are qualified to win the prize. The sponsor has just confirmed it the other day as they forgot to specify it with me on our previous communication. If there would be anymore changes, just in case, that would be extending the contest duration to gather more entries but hopefully it could be announced on the date given above.
Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you and thank you so much for posting this on your forum.
