Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

Okay, maybe not so much dinner as a gift card to Target.  Whatever.  We have a winner!

First, I tallied up all the comments.  Everyone was entered into the drawing for each comment they made:

Then I tore up sheets of paper and wrote down all the names for the drawing.  They were quite plentiful:

Then I grabbed the Official Drawing Hat of the Cheap Chick Empire.  Nothing says prize drawing like a cheese-head top hat:

I loaded up all the entries into the hat – they took up a lot of room.  Because there were so many comments.  Because YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME:

Ah, fake cheese foam.  Nothing could be finer – well, real cheese maybe.  But then, I wouldn’t want to wear it as a hat.  Moving on.  Here I am, digging deep for the winner’s name:

And I sloooooooowly pulled out a winner (drum roll, please):

And the winner is… CAROLYN!

Congratulations, Carolyn!  A $20 Target Gift Card is YOURS.  As soon as you email me your full name and mailing address, that is.  KTHXBAI.  And thank you to everyone for all your awesome commenting.  I hope now that I’m not paying you to do it, you’ll still continue to say your piece.

    Congrats, Carolyn! Woohoo! In the words of the great Napoleon Dynamite, “Luuucky!!”

    As for me, ab-so-tootin-lutely, I will say my piece even sans any form of payment or reward. Thanks for the fun opportunity.

    that is by far the BEST way to have a blog drawing! screw that new fangled using a computer to come up with a random number crap. Cheap Chic is drawing names old school!

    Me, Carolyn?? Could it be? Could I have actually won?! My post was about my Target vice too.

    I’ll send you an email! Thanks, Erin! :)

    Congrats Carolyn!
    And yes, drawing from a cheesehat is far more exciting that a random computer generated drawing. Woot woot to the Cheap Chick for keeping it real, yo!

    Hmm – won’t Vikings fans get upset at you using a cheesehat? Next time use a Viking hat with horns! ;-)
