Apple iPod Touch Giveaway: Winner Announcement



I have to be really honest. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to give away just one prize. Seriously. I started second-guessing myself, thinking perhaps I should have sold it and purchased several smaller items to give away or something. It was hard to grasp how big of a prize it was until it came down to selecting a winner.

Okay, on to business. Here is how the winner was chosen. Each entry form submitted was automatically added to a spreadsheet with a corresponding number. When I verified that the entry was completed I highlighted the entry to correspond with whether or not the entry was a single entry or a a double entry (for those who did the Twitter bonus).

At the close of the contest (5pm PDT yesterday) I selected a number randomly through random.org. Here are the results.


The chosen number was 90, which means the winner is:
