I am search for my jaw , I dropped it when I saw the mail this am and saw I had won!
This most certainly is an honor and I appreciate all of the people that had a hand in making this happen. That thanks goes out to Chris Allingham for this awesome site, all of the people that donated to this drawing and every member of this forum because if there were no members the site would not exists in the first place. Over the years I have been fortunate to learn and grow my bbq skills from the information I was able to access on this site . Congratulations to the other winners !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There were 1,144 entries. 33 were disqualified as either duplicates or non-United States addresses. That left 1,111 entries from which 10 winners were drawn at random.

Congratulations to all winners.

Chris,
Is there a piece of software that generates your winners from your entry collection? This would be a handy tool for my school to use when we draw for prizes on occasions.

Thanks, Chris; I've never won anything of value from any contest I've entered. This is a first for me. Thanks for the gifts and a great site.

I import the entries into Excel and scrub them for duplicates, out of country entries, etc., then use a random number generator to pick the winners. The one I use was written for me years ago by a brainiac friend, but nowadays many random number generators are available online for free.

Chris

WOW! Congratulations to the winners!

And a great big thanks to our sponsors too, for providing the donations for us to have this!


Yup, I'm jealous of them 10.
