1043 would be a good winner this month.
I would guess some people are out for Spring Break, Easter, and forgot to enter this month. |

Damn, still going? Everyone must be out for spring break shaking their naughty bits!
Thanks for the contest every month, Mark, and thanks for ensuring I don't ever have spare cash for very long. Gotta do my part to help the economy! Buying awesome products is such a sacrifice... |

Like many, I pick the same number every month. The contest report is great and helps those who don't have an attachment to any particular number. Mine is my class number from the Border Patrol Academy. If I changed my number every month, it really wouldn't matter and I'd surely check the report before posting in the UHFO thread. If I picked the same number every month and then changed it the one month it's actually picked, imagine how frustrating that would be? LOL!
Quoted:
Whats the etiquette in regards to duping and number "ownership" ? I accidently duped someone because I couldn't find this thread when I realized the UHFO thread had been posted. But to my credit I used the same number I used last month so I'd like to think I have some claim to the number. Should I drop out of the contest this month, or just ride it out and see what happens? This lists the rules. It specifically addresses duplicates. Basically, the only thing a dupe does is lower the chances of winning for ALL the people that chose that number. It doesn't disqualify you or the person(s) you duped. You brought up etiquette. I would like to think that there is some sort of etiquette to all this, but frankly, there are A LOT of people here that just post a number regardless of others' numbers, post in unrelated threads, and some are just dicks. I think any effort you spend on etiquette is probably wasted effort. I think just throw a number in, and hope for the best. Personally, I'd like to see the rules change to what I think that they used to be, which is that dupe numbers are DQ, and the original poster of the number is the only valid pick. Honestly, I don't ever recall reading when duping was prohibited. If someone has proof otherwise, I'd love to read it. As for etiquette, how about those of us that have been picking the same number for years? Should we abandon it simply because another who may or may not support the site is now able to enter the contest & happened to get to the computer first? Truly, the only etiquette is to simply post something similar to the below statement and not complain about being duped in a contest that costs nothing to enter but the return on which is very high. I just want to thank Mark for his generosity month after month in the UHFO contest and all his other philanthropic exploits outside this site. Thanks as well to MND for the report. |

Why.
Why must people dupe my number nearly every month. Is 151 one really that popular? I hit the contest early and got it. I like it. If it's taken I pick another one... WTF! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! |

Rats, Republican's are not so interested in "Free Stuff" ... Can't get it to 2,000 numbers this time. And I even posted two numbers this month... My old age must be catching up!!! I do not recall posting the first number... Thank You Mark, for all you and the LT crew do!!! I still hope to buy you a beer someday! |

I had to leave town for a funeral but still managed to log on and post a number. This is the first time I can remember so many open numbers. Strange

Life gets in the way I imagine. I know that's why I almost missed getting mine in before the 6th.
This is the first time I can remember so many open numbers. Strange As far as all the people bitching about "dupes", give it up. So many people play this thing, new numbers are often being added every minute. I don't expect people to do this checking of the thread business. My badge number is 667. I play it every month. Never pay attention to see if someone else played it. If they do, no biggie, there'll be a coin toss or whatever to make the final determination. 1st world problems... |

Do we know what the prize was, or is it something the winner finds out when he opens the box?

Thanks Mark and mnd. I lead a very shallow life and enjoy my chance to win 'sumton'
every month. You both do a great job and thanks again for the opportunity. |
|
That's the farthest I've been from winning. (Haven't really checked.)
But I still enjoy the hunt! |
|
Hey "capnswervon", I also liked the two girls one finger to.
Congrats to the winner!! |
