    So I was looking for an idea for a new contest, and I got one today watching the price is right :D. It's slightly harder than my last contest, but still very easy. So you know the Price is Right Wheel right, it's based around that.

    I'll be using the random number generator, which will be like the wheel. Each member can have 2 spins, unless you get $1.00 on the first, just like the price is right.

    **If the total of your 2 spins goes over $1.00 you lose.** This is where the thinking comes into play, because you can set a maximum number for your first spin.

    The winner is the person who comes closest to, or gets $1.00, if there is a tie it will go to a spin off, and who ever gets the highest number wins. There will only be 1 winner.

    The contest is simple, all you have to do to enter is post here a maximum number for your first spin. (So there's a little thinking).

    **The maximum number you enter means if your first spin is the maximum number or higher, you will keep that number, AND NOT GET A SECOND SPIN. **

    ** The numbers on the wheel go by 5s starting at 5 and going to $1.00, so only pick a multiple of 5.**

    Here's a sample post:

    Maximum number .90
    -In this case the maximum first spin is 90 cents, so if the first spin is under .90 you get a second spin, .90 or above and you keep the first spin, and don't get a second.

    Pretty simple, Good Luck everyone, let me know if there are any questions. The prize will be below in a second post.

    I'll take a bite at the first contest I enter. I hope this is the correct way to do it.

    First spin is: Maximum 0.55

    That's right :thumb:. I thought it might be a little confusing, so I tried to describe it the best I could.

    Take a look at the directions again, you need to pick a max number for your first spin, and it has to be a multiple of 5 cents (Between 5 cents and $1.00).
