You know how every once in a while, something happens that makes you laugh out loud? Well that just happened to me when I assigned numbers to everyone who entered and then used an online number generator to choose a winner.
Now according to Google Analytics, we have Musers all over the globe. Austrailia, Singapore, the USA, the UK, Iraq, Canada, you name it. I couldn't wait to see where Waiting to Score would go.
So here's the screenshot from the Random generator I used:Twenty-one was the winning number. I went to see who's name matched the number, and well...here's a scan of the part of my list (you might have to click on it to see it better):
Well this book could have travelled anywhere in the world. In fact, I figured it quite likely the book would go to someone in the United States, as I know many of the entries came from there.
Instead, it goes to Brown-eyed Girl, who is not only a Canadian...but my neighbor! She lives just down the street, like three houses away. Isn't that crazy?
Instead of popping it in the mail, she got a personal delivery. Like I said, you had to see it to believe it.
Congrats, Brown-Eyed Girl and thanks to all who entered!

Congrats, Brown Eyed Girl! Love your screen name!
Congrats.
*grin* Hugely strange, but neat!
Yeah!
LOL, Nate--I stole the idea from Beth--that's what she did for her book giveaway, and I thought, 'We'll wouldn't that make life easier!' so I did it too. ;-)
Brown-Eyed Girl: Congrats on winning. And yeah, that is strange about our house colors...*twilight zone music*
Thanks for playing everyone!
I had a book giveaway in my last contest and my friend, who I was having dinner with the day after the contest, also won. It felt so rigged but that's how it went!
