View Full Version : Celebrate with a Box of Wood Contest
Kathy Marshall
02-03-2013, 11:36 PM
I'm celebrating the fact that my lathe is back up and running and someone is going to have a reason to celebrate with me!
I went out to the woodpile today and I found a mesquite log big enough to get a 12" x 12" x 5 1/2" blank from. This mesquite blank is up for grabs for one lucky Creeker!
Here's how it works:
The winner will be chosen strickly by chance, all you have to do is pick the winning number.
I have chosen a number between 1 and 300. I've sent the winning number to myself in a PM and you can see the message is time stamped.
253436
To enter the contest, just reply to this thread with your number. You may only enter one number and it must be posted in this thread (no PM's please).
The contest will run until Wednesday, Feb 6th at 11:00pm or until someone posts the winning number (whichever comes first). If no one chooses the winning number before 2/6/13 @ 11:00pm, the winner will be the person closest to the winning number without going over.
If 2 people choose the same number, the winner will be the one that posted 1st.
When the winner is determined, I will post a separate thread announcing the winner and will include a screenshot of my PM of the winning number.
I will contact the winner by PM to get a mailing address.
Everyone is welcome to enter. The box will be sent Priority Mail in the US. If the winner is outside the US I will pay for the 1st $15.00 of postage and the winner would need to pay the difference.
This is what you're playing for:

With 138 replies, okay, some are repeat numbers...I've seen some... I'd like to say "What are the odds that the number hasn't been picked yet?!?!" But then some math guy here will tell me JUST what the odds are...:rolleyes: Kathy, you should have picked a number between 0 and 150. ;) The suspense would surely be over by now...

Mike, the suspense wouldn't have lasted nearly long enough :eek:. May be a little suspenseful for you, but it sure is fun for me ;). Still got more than 24 hours to go and the number is out there somewhere, and it hasn't been picked yet.
