We have a winner!
According to the Coin Star machine at our friendly neighborhood Albertsons, the Change Jar contained:
- 429 Quarters
- 526 Dimes
- 277 Nickels
- 2,748 pennies
- For a grand total of…$201.18
Out of 16 total players, the winner of the L.A. Dime’s “Make a Dime” contest is….Laurie Perdue, a work friend of Tina’s. Her guess was $167 making her $34.18 under.
In second place was Mandee Riddell, who was $41.36 over, and in third was Rick Riddell, who was $63.22 under. Laurie will receive her fabulous prize in the very near future.
Thanks to all who played, and please remember, it’s not too late to donate to my Dash For Dimes Marathon run for the March of Dimes. Each dollar I raise will be triple-matched, so even 50 cents per mile ($13) becomes $39 instantly!
The Racin’ Eights finished our final long run of the training cycle yesterday — 22 miles! Now we taper down to race day on March 4th. If you’re in town, I hope to see you along the course!
I demand a recount.
Guess that tarheel education wasn’t for nothin’!
It’s a travesty to have a Tar Heel win my contest. Indeed, a Tar Heel who won two contests at Kelley’s shower to boot! Your fabulous prize is a Duke T-shirt and a copy of Coach K’s book.
Please, I cannot encourage you to support dook in any way, shape or fashion.
I kindly request that any funds that you allotted for a prize, be donated to the Dash for Dimes, it will be much more satisfying to my psyche!!!
