Congrats to all the winners.

I'm so thrilled and surprised to have won. Still can't believe it.

The video of little Raffle boy and Dave is just the cutest!!

Thank you everyone, so much, for such a fun raffle not a raffle.

@Dave -- who got 5th place? You only listed 4 in the winners post.

So first place gets first dibs! As runner up prizes, the 3rd, 4th and 5th place winners will each get from me 50 acorns.

Hey! Well just goes to show that using up all but 1.13 acorns in your account will suddenly bloom with acorns! Thank you, Dave. Oh, and the kid is too cute. Give that boy a pool party!

You're right!! I have no idea how that slipped past me but I only printed out four of the winners. I'll go back into the system and see who got drawn as the fifth. Thank you for that! I'll post the update here.
