We had 649 entries to the Mark Durham Memorial Giveaway as of midnight last night. That means we have raised over $6500 so far for Sheri, Marissa and Jessica Durham.
I obtained the services of a local gentleman who owns a Michigan Lotteries-approved lottery number picking machine. He installed only balls 0-9 and let it warm up for a few minutes. We then picked three numbers and we returned that number to the tank each time so as not to disqualify that number from repetition. I used those three numbers to generate a 3 digit number between 1 and 649. I was satisfied that it was completely random. Apparently the Lotteries Commision carefully weighed each ball to make sure that they each had an equal chance of being picked. I never knew ping pong balls were so consistent!
Our first winning number, which is for the fantastic prize of the Gabriel Sound Garage Voxer amplifier, goes to ticket number 162, which when I look up my ticket register, reveals the following name...
Congratulations to
Simon Higgs
(2006creditcard@higgs.com) for winning the Voxer!
I played a Voxer at the Chicago Tonefest last summer, and that is one great amplifier. It has a tremendous range of great tones and it looks fantastic. Simon has a great amp coming to him.
So, now everyone else, please dig up some holiday cheer and click that paypal link above and donate your dollars to the cause. Every $10 donated gives you a better chance of winning a prize. Sheri and the girls are very appreciative of what we are doing and they certainly need it.
to Simon!!! Awesome!!
