sweet wheatz

sweet wheatz's guess was within 27 minutes of the actual time the 20,000th member joined. Way to go sweet wheatz!! :high5:

SECOND PRIZE goes to kevcoins whose guess was only three hours and 12 minutes off. Nice job kevcoins. :hail:

THIRD PRIZE had to be determined by a tie-breaker because two contestants guessed the exact same date and time. pjh008 posted his guess before wiggam007 and is the winner of the THIRD PRIZE. (Note to wiggam007 - Watch The Price Is Right and learn to emulate the contestants' strategy.)

As a consolation prize I will send wiggam007 four 2009-D Samoa Territorial Quarters fresh off the Denver Mint presses.

Winners please PM me with your name and mailing address so I can mail the prizes to you.

Thanks to all who entered my contest and congratulations to the winners.

I have not taken photos of the prizes yet. I will try to take photos tomorrow and post them.

 

Congratulations to all the winners and to Hobo for taking the time to run the contest :hail:

 

Lol, I have been doing this :headbang: since I looked and saw that I had guessed the same time. Although, if I had listened to the Price is Right I would have guessed 7:01 and wouldn't have even got a consolation prize. Thanks for doing that, you didn't have to as the rules were pretty clear on who was the winner.

 

Glad to do it. I got the Samoa Quarters last week at the Denver Mint. I got $5 worth but I don't really need that many.

I was talking to a friend today who is a family counselor and she told me there are two types of people - Givers and Takers. She said I was a Giver because I normally give more than I have to. I just hate to see someone come so close to winning but walk away emptyhanded.

 

Thanks for the contest Hobo, and your gesture toward wiggam is to be comended.

 

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to Hobo for contest.
