31 Days of the Dragon-We have a Winner!

Sharon Crawford from Bellingham WA, congratulations. I know you will enjoy the HDX Dragon.

The correct answers are:

1. http://digitalmediaphile.wordpress.com/2008/01/01/is-this-your-lucky-day/ (or for those of you that entered from my older blog where the contest was mirrored, this URL was also correct.
2. Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme Processor X9000 (2.80GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
3. TX1000 (or TX1001xx, or several variants of that number for the notebook used in that series of reviews)
4. Acer Ferrari 4000
5. Nikon D300

After removing/deleting entries above that didn’t meet the qualifications, I sorted the correct entries oldest (first in) to oldest and exported to Excel. Then I visited www.random.org and put everyone’s fate in their hands. Click the image below for a full-size screen shot.

Contest Stats: 

The bad news:

403 entrants did not follow directions and were eliminated from the contest. Issues with these entries included not using the correct subject line, “I want a HDX Dragon” or “I want an HDX Dragon” (a vs an being a grammar issue). And some folks that didn’t do the treasure hunt but simply sent their contact info or told me a sob story. And a few that included images and graphics where I specifically stated “no images or stationery”. Additionally, I was very clear, one entry per email address. You could enter from multiple email addresses, but not from the same one more than once. Sorry if you were in this category of disqualified entries.

The good news:

937 correct entries
