Dave, I'm new to ATP, and of course I never win anything. I only had 5 acorns. But how are we contacted if we win and how & where do I go to check to see if I won? Thx Donna King

And you will be notified on this thread that the video of the drawing for the winners is up for viewing. Dave & Trish & their kids do it & we get to see "raffle boy" as he is known, unfold the papers that have the winners names on them. It's always loads of fun to watch!

@donnabking,
Don't be surprised if people randomly send you 'extra' acorns so you can participate in the not-a-raffle. The more, the merrier!

I just sent you some Acorn Acorn !!
