FYI to you winners, the final few are still choosing so that's not finished yet. When everyone has finished selecting, then I will contact the companies with each person's name, and they will send you coupon codes or however else they plan to get your prize to you. I expect that'll happen on Monday. Smiling

Not keeping secrets, just keeping my mouth shut since everyone is still picking.

Maybe Dave post a list with the names and the prizes everyone picked when it's all over.
