Count me in

ETA: Will there be a reputable accounting firm on site just to make sure everything is done according to the stated rules

Hey....I think DougG lives near you...I think he should be there for the draw


Good idea Jo Jo.
I should keep an eye on things to make sure there is no funny stuff. I do accepts "gifts" from those interested. :roll: :wink:

Ladies and gentlemen....the draw has been made. Under the watchful eyes of the most trusted and respected members of my family (my wife and daughter), the residing lottery official (my son) reached into the official lottery drum (his Christmas stocking) and pulled the name. The name was shown to a fifth party (Nemo, our fish) to confirm validity, and Nemo deemed it was an official draw.

The winner of the 50/50 book by Dean Karnazes is........


(drumroll please)



NewFinnLoper

So if the winner will kindly PM me her mailing address, I will swiftly send off the prize, with the hopes it reaches her before Christmas Day.
Congrats, and thanks all. This was kinda fun! :D

I'm glad someone within Canada won it. If a Maniac residing in the US had won it, AirForceRunner would have to send half the book to the IRS.
