The entrant whose name appears on the card shall be declared the winner. His/her $10 cash grand prize will be sealed inside a genuine paper envelope, stamped and hand carried to an official U.S. Mail drop box at an undisclosed location by the certified driver of an armored a car on Monday Tuesday, December 8 9, 2008, before 5 10:00 p.m. MST.

This is too funny! I will be checking my mail daily which is really hard because I have to walk clear down to the end of the block and around the corner and down half the next block. Is ten dollars worth it? YES!
I won, I won!! Truly, this is an honor. I would like to thank Nicea for a fun contest (and cash!), my washer and dryer for continuing to work, and my family for providing said laundry.
*The day I submitted my entry I had already done three loads of laundry, washed a couple loads of dishes, vacuumed the house, etc. Instead of Brian and I getting things done over the weekend while he is home to help, we decided to relax and play LOTRO instead, so I was paying the price for neglecting the cleaning duties for play time!
Wahoo! What to do with 10 free dollars? The possibilities are endless!
Most likely we will be having pizza for dinner! Thanks Neesh!
Congratulations, Megara! Because the drawing was entirely random and took place under lock and key in the vault of the DCH law firm, I had no idea who the winner was.
To the other contestants: You are ALL winners in my book. It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game. Good sportsmanship and being a good loser is just as important as being a gracious winner. You're also VERY special. XOXOXO
Yeah!!! I won! I won! I sorta kinda thought that you might end up sending it to everyone who commented. I forgot to check our mail yesterday, so it may have come yesterday. I am like Shawn though and hate walking down to the end of the block to get the mail.
It was so worth it for James to go get it for me!!!
THANKS NiceA You are such a fun, cute Auntie!
Haven't quite decided what to do with the $$$ but I'll let you know! :) You made my day!
Jana Brookes - What!? You won, too? Oh, I'm so confused. Confused but oh-so-very happy for you, too. Congratulations are in order for your very fine entries in the contest.
I forgot to check my mail. Is there any REMOTE possibility that I won too? Probably not since I still owe you money for a particular present you bought for me to give to a certain someone.
dang
Hmmm, Shawn. Forgot about that little item of business. But, like I said to Megara, et. al., I have NO IDEA who won. It's such a mystery.
I hope I didn't just get you in trouble!
Still deciding what to do with the money. Still sitting in my bookcase drawer for now!
Jana Brookes: No, you're not in trouble. If you won, you were supposed to post a comment. Way to follow directions! How did I know there would be two winners? I just work here.
What!? I won too, yay!!! diet cokes all around. neesh, you are the best! how fun is it to open an envelope with cashola inside? totally radical. thanks and thanks!
A>M>A>Z>I>N>G!!! I have no idea what you people are talking about.
YOU SNEAK! We ALL won. Oh mother. Always trying to make everyone happy--even if it costs her upwards of 50 bones.
abs

but congrats to all you weiners! ha haaaa suckas!
I WON!!! I MUST be one of your favorites!
i'm a wiener, too!
it helps to have a mailbox key when you check the mail. i dont' have one so i had to wait for one of my roommates to check it. and when i got home last night...the NiceA Giveaway prize patrol was there! oh joy! i started laughing and had to explain to everyone why my mom is so cool.
thanks, mom. you da bomb dot com.
In case anybody is still reading this and has any contact at all with Princess Consuela and Banana HamDude, I have a message for them from the Prize Patrol. Apparently there was a litter addressed to them which didn't get on the same train with other winner litters? I don't know details, but word on the street is that they won too. (That's the "official" word. But I have a close friend on the Prize Patrol who said the secretary didn't have their correct address, then when she finally managed to get it via a text message a couple days after the other litters were sent, her cell phone died and stayed in her purse for awhile longer, and was finally sent out just today. Which just goes to show you that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
That would be letters, not litters.
(Honestly, it WAS a typo the first time, but on purpose after that because it WAS kinda funny, don't you think? Even if I didn't think of it on purpose. But also because I started thinking that litters = babies and Fabulous Fifties really wants grandkids. So I'm just sendin' a subliminal message.)
You're welcome, Shawn.
Oh Hi! You mean we won! Yay! I am so excited. Oh I meant to say I(Princess Consuela) won. The word I and we means a lot like I have to split the money or I get all of it. Well we will be looking out for it but not until Jan 2 because we are in Georgia. Thanks Nicea! I love your giveaways.
You are such a hoot about the litters. I kinda wish when we do have kids that I will have a litter of them so I can get that process of birth over with in one shot. Whoo Hoo!
