I agree with this assessment. However, I would posit that a single university-aged individual is even lower on this hierarchy than a family business is, so unless Domino's had the same promotion going on and they chose to target a family business instead, the logic seems to defend their action.
It's probably also worth pointing out that the original commenter only said "local pizza place", which isn't always used synonymously with "family business", and additionally that describing an explicit instruction ("you [can] enter as many times as you like") as a loophole is somewhat of a stretch.
Also, someone was going to win that contest regardless of what he did so it's not like it matters to the pizza place's bottom line.

At the end, the coordinator herself won (or supposedly won?) all 3 vouchers and showed up with her kid. For the next silent auction we ensured to put 1 voucher per family. The shock on her face when she showed up again, with 3 vouchers in hand and my wife told her to read the fine print.
From the HN comments it looks like - we were silly for trying to promote something in good faith and we deserved to have been abused. Jokes on them because reality is small businesses stop doing fun things for the community and it becomes strictly business.
