OK - winners have been drawn.
Here’s how the selections were made.
-
I took everybody who followed the rules, and even a bunch of people who didn’t but got close enough for government work
-
Everyone got assigned a number, and entered into a hat (actually a spreadsheet)
-
Gold and Platinum members got assigned two numbers (so if they entered, they had double the chance to win, but of course, no one can win more than one gift card)
-
I used a random number generator to pick the winners.
For this particular contest, there was no judging the “quality” of the posts, so if you did an awesome post and didn’t win, don’t take it personally. Hopefully you can take comfort in knowing that the average bench exchange post gets 300-500 views in the first few days after posting - so people are learning a lot by your generous contribution of content.
In any event, enough chatter - here are the winners of the $100 gift cards. To claim your prize, click here and fill out your full contact information. If we don’t have all of your information we can’t process your prize.
