THE WINNERS ARE ANNOUNCED!
We used one 8-sided die and two 10-sided dice to find the three-digit numbers that would correspond with the winners. Three members of the audience rolled the dice. The first numberthat came up was 440. The second number was 822. There were then two alternate numbers rolled in case there was any problem with the first two. The first alternate number was 105, the second was 382.
Numbers 1-211 were on paper, the rest, which turned out to be 212-811, were in the http://Going.com website. So HERE ARE OUR WINNERS:
#440: Jason Lowery prze: $1000 shopping spree at the Big Apple Convention
#822: (ineligible, no name at that number)
#105: Eric Montesa: $500 shopping spree of gaming merchandise at the Big Apple Convention.
The second alternate number's name will be announced if one of the winners fails to respond in 14 days.
If you are the winner, please respond immediately. We want you to use the shoping spree today. If you cannot make it to the con today, you may use it at our September convention.
Look for Captain Zorikh at the convention, he will be wearing the black uniform of the Death Star Repairman, with a "Shazam" shirt underneath, and he will be hosting the costume contest at 3:00 PM. If you cannot make it today, contact us at http://going.com/bigapplecon
