Dave:
We put the entrant's name, town/state and phone number on the ticket stubs so we can immediately contact the winner when the ticket is drawn. All you sent with your entry money was your name and a PO Box.

I will post the winner's name tonight after the drawing. If it is you, then the only way you will find out is by reading this forum unless you want to send me a private message with your phone number which I would put on the ticket stub. Then we would be able to call.

Thanks,
Fred

I sent the info to your clubs e-mail @ lonestar@jordan.com
Glad you got my entry!

Gentlemen we have a WINNER! So you guys won't be waiting by the phone all night for the "lucky" call - I just arrived home from the awards banquet and our winner is JACK DEVENEY, of ST. PETERS, MISSOURI (a suburb of St. Louis, MO)! I called him when his ticket was drawn and had him on the speaker phone at the podium microphone in front of about 250 attendees and when he answered I said, "Is this Jack?" He said, "Yes" and I said "This is Fred from Texas - you just won an engine!" He replied "TREMENDOUS" and the audience heartily applauded his enthusiasm and his luck. I jokingly asked if he could pick it up tomorrow and then told him I'll put him in touch with Jim who offered free delivery and he'll get his new engine.

Thanks so much to all you guys who entered the engine raffle - it could have been any of you but Jack was the lucky winner!

Now you can go to bed. Maybe you'll win next time!

Chris:

I too have some (now useless) stubs but am glad one of the out-of-state guys who bought a ticket won rather than one of our local club members. I personally bought some tickets which were in the drum with my name on them and my wife's name on them and was worried that if they drew one of ours everyone would think that maybe things weren't on the "up and up." Just in case, I used my iPhone to videotape the drawing and we used a totally unbiased, neutral person to draw the ticket which was the manager of the Marriott Hotel where the convention was being held. We used her to draw the winning ticket since she had no dog in the fight.

FOLLOW UP NOTE: The engine winner lives in a suburb of St. Louis, MO and was thrilled when I called him. He says it is going in a Coupe he got 41 years ago in 1972 which he bought with his Vietnam bonus and the current engine is worn out. He's a lucky guy and we're glad the engine is going to a good home.

Thanks again to everyone who entered!!!

Viet Nam bonus? I guess I missed out on that one. My bonus was another tour.

I didn't bite for that bonus, and that tour was promised. Bob E.
