Question for Nate about picking the winners
Nate, I have a question. When you receive 800 + total entries for the dvd giveaway, how exactly do you pick the winner? I can't imagine that you print off 800 entries and throw them into a hat, lol. I am guessing that you pick a random # and whoever entered at that slot wins. Am I right?
yep, i find the low & high numbered entry for each person that signs up to get the range, then choose one at random within that range. If the information is correct (full address supplied) and the entrant hasn't entered under more than one screen name, I then contact him/her via email to let them know they've been chosen. I ask they reply within 24 hours with the same mailing address. If that all happens, they win & the disc is usually sent out within a week. Hope that explains it. Pretty low-tech. Nate
