Getting down to the end. As for the random drawing, I will do that once the polls are closed. I've counted 37 entry's. The first entry will be #1 and so on to #37. Random.org will generate a number between 1 and 37. Then whoever that entry belongs to wins the last $100.00 prize.

If any body objects, speak up before 10:30p.m.

 

[D.Oliver]

2.7% chance per casing entry of winning that $100. Just over 8% for those who entered the maximum 3 entries.

 

[EBorraga]

2.5 hours to go. Get your votes in.

 

[EBorraga]

I will try and announce the winners tonight. But may have to wait till tommorow. I just received some terrible news and have to take care of a few things.

 

[seamus7227]

Do to an emergency the winners will be announced at a later date. Ernie will be tied up for the rest of the evening. He apologizes for the delay but this cannot be helped at this time. He can provide more details upon his return if he so desires. Thank you all for your understanding and patience.

 

[seamus7227]

I say we keep the voting open!! I would love to hit at least 500 voters. I hope all is well with Ernie on his homefront!

 

[hewunch]

Ernie, take your time. Sorry to hear that something big has come up. I hope that it isn't anything life threatening

 

[Dalecamino]

Hope Ernie's OK. The contest can wait.

 

[David M]

Ernie , take all the time you need , hope all is ok .
David

 

[Alton Slaughter]

Dayum..Ernie, hard to vote for only four, great job !! Hope you bring some of these at lunch tomorrow.

 

[EBorraga]

Sorry for the delay guys. I received some very bad info last night. My best friend's wife tragically passed away lat night. She was only 43. Was pretty tough on me since i've known them both for 20 years. She has battled a failed kidney transplant that created quite a few more health problems for the last 8 years. It just hit home very hard with me.

I'm not sure if we received many more votes with it running over one more day. I'll tally up the votes and announce the winners in a few minutes.

As for the random drawing for the $100.00 gift certificate from CSUSA, the random.org site pulled out #22. I also have to double check who was the 22nd entry into the contest.

Thanks again for everybody's patience with this contest. It's been a huge learning experience for me.

 

[EBorraga]

And the winners are​

1st place - Mudpuppie - $100.00 to CSUSA
2nd place - Sylvanite - $50.00 to CSUSA
3rd place - Seamus - $25.00 to CSUSA
4th place - Workin4Wood - $25.00 to CSUSA

The voting was very close. Only 1 vote deperated 4th and 5th place. We had a total of 239 voters. Congrats to all and i'll pm you guys your gift certificate info.
​

Random drawing winner​

#22 is what the random.org machine picked. The 22nd entry belongs to TERRYF. You receive a $100.00 gift certificate to CSUSA. I'll pm the info to you as well.
