The Drawing

In order to select the winner of the $100 Amazon Gift Card, I utilized Random.org. Since there were 628 entries, I lined up the emails in Excel, 1 through 628 and entered this range into random.org. I hit “generate” and here is the result:

I then referenced the names within my table to find entry 123, and the winner is…

And there it is! Congratulations to Crystal from Budgeting in the Fun Stuff! You have won the $100 gift card because of your generous linking to my site. Thanks Crystal.

AUTHOR Derek

My name is Derek, and I have my Bachelors Degree in Finance from Grand Valley State University. After graduation, I was not able to find a job that fully utilized my degree, but I still had a passion for Finance! So, I decided to focus my passion in the stock market. I studied Cash Flows, Balance Sheets, and Income Statements, put some money into the market and saw a good return on my investment. As satisfying as this was, I still felt that something was missing. I have a passion for Finance, but I also have a passion for people. If you have a willingness to learn, I will continue to teach.
