And the winner is…. OMG who woulda thunk it?

October

winner champagne

The Wednesday lotto results are in and can you believe it? the bonus number was 49 . OMG. that’s the only number that wasn’t allocated to anyone ! HAh! such good drama :-) I mean, what are the chances of that happening??? (well, 1 in 49 actually but it feels like a million to one chance to me!)

As per the rules, if the bonus number happens to be number 49 the the winner will be whoever matches the first drawn number.

Congratulations Footie Blog

You win the headphones from Vmoda. I’ll post a message on your blog to remind you to contact me for your prize. Please leave your choice of colour on this message and email me your name and address so I can get your prize out to you! Choose colour 1,2,3 or 4 from the picture below (1 is at the top)
Vmoda Vibe Headphones Selection

Well, that was exciting! I really fancy doing some more contests, I may want to have a monthly competition that involves people who comment on this blog, once my next version of CommentLuv is finished, I’ll see if I can put some code together so that commenters get automatically allocated a unique number on each (approved) comment and then have a raffle at the end of the month..

what do you think?….

oh and thanks to everyone for taking part, it was nice to see so many people make an effort with their posts and being so generous with their blog real estate. Keep watching this space for more contests!

    LOL! That’s very funny. :D
    You know what? I wanted to suggest that you give that number for one of the participants based on some criteria: Best blog entry about the contest for example, or top commentator for this month so far. :p But I thought that maybe someone could still jump in at the last minute.

    Congratulations to the winner, and waiting for your coming contest. :D

    mira: I was considering doing something like that too but I wanted to keep the choice of winner and numbers completely random so everyone got the same chance. I’m glad the winner has already posted about their success! thanks for entering.

    The King: don’t worry, there will be plenty opportunities for smilies :-)

    everyday weekender: see link baits comment, thanks LB for the explanation.

    thanks Chessnoid, it did seem to go quite well and I’m already thinking of what can be the next contest, I’m pretty sure it will have something to do with interacting with this site in some way to get an entry.

    maybe commenters get a raffle ticket automatically and I draw a random one at the end of the month? hmmm…..
