Okay, I'm working on picking a winner.
I just got everyone's names on a list. Now I'll count them and hit the random number generator. I'll let you guys know who the lucky guy is in just a few...

The lucky winner is...

:-) awsmith4!!! :-)

Congratulations, my brother!!! :-)

Do me a big solid and pm me your address, will you? I'll try to get the winnings out to you tomorrow.

Hopefully I'll know the results of the Weather Machine contest in the morning and I'll get back to you guys on that. I really honestly think we got the job done.
I know the kids had slipped into a far second place, from the emails Lisa's boss sent, it sounded like they were almost 2800 votes back. I do believe we closed that gap and then some.
If Lisa's office team worked half as hard at this as you guys did, and the leaders rested on their laurels thinking they had this sewn up, I'll just bet we sneaked in and stole this thing. :-)

Sorry missed this, Scott. I hope the kids got enough votes.

Thanks for letting us help Scott. :-)
[Reply]

Can't wait to hear how it came out!

And Congrats Albert!
[Reply]

So...did they win...?
[Reply]

We'll know if they won tomorrow morning.
Together, everyone involved came up with 42,000 votes. I can't even imagine our kids could have possibly lost. I'll let you all know as soon as I find out.

I didn't get Albert's prize out today, I'm sorry. I've been sick as hell, thought I turned the corner last night, only to find myself even worse today. I'm getting couch sores. :-)
Hopefully I'll straighten up tomorrow and get back on track. :-)

crossing my fingers for your win Scott.
[Reply]

Fingers crossed that they win

Scott feel better and no worry or hurry on the prize.

Welp, we came in second place in the contest. There's no score totals, so we can't see how close we were.
The good thing is that there's a second place drawing. The more points you have, the more chances you have to win. So we can still win the second chance draw.
Dammit.

I got some more info on the contest scores...
It turns out the winners had right around 400,000 votes and we scored in the high 300 thousands. There were right around a million votes cast for the contest.
From Weeze's old emails, it appears Portville was leading, then about a week ago they were overtaken, then they caught up, then they just waited a couple days too long to mount a strong enough comeback.
Weeze's boss was real pleased with the effort, but I'm sure he's as bummed as I am. That's tough to put up almost 400,000 votes and lose.
Regardless, everyone involved busted their ass to get it done. Portville won second place by a HUGE margin, so they should have a good chance in the second chance drawing. :-)
