As you all know by now, DF has had a donation drive going for the last month or so.  A total of 11 people donated at least $5 and nearly $100 was raised to help cover site costs over the last month!  I want to thank everyone who donated, and now is the time when I give away the gimmick- I mean prize! 

I've been advertising an Amazon.com $30 giftcard raffle.  Recently I added an additional $15 giftcard if a certain number of more people donated.  Well that happened, so I am giving away two giftcards here today!

Now about the process.  I have printed the page with all 11 names out, and cut them out into pretty much equal-size pieces of paper.  They have all been thoroughly mixed up and placed into a bowl, and mixed up even more.  I will be choosing one name, the first the winner of the $30 giftcard, which all 11 have a 1/11 chance of winning.  After the winner of the first giftcard is picked, I set that person's name aside, and of the other 10, selected a winner for the 2nd giftcard.  It was all done completely random and if you want to know, yes my eyes were closed while picking the winners. 

On to who won.  The first name picked out was:

Nicolas Montes 

Nicolas is the winner of the $30 Amazon.com giftcard!  Now on to the $15 giftcard.  The second name picked out was (this time excluding Nicolas):

Angela Paris

Congratulations to both Nicolas and Angela!  And thank you to all who participated and donated, I appreciate it!  Sorry but we can only have two winners, and those are it!  I do appreciate all your donations, though.  And in the future, if you can donate I would really appreciate it as well.  Thanks for making this a success!

Nicolas and Angela, I will be getting in contact with you both later tonight or tomorrow.  Once again, congrats on winning the giftcard raffles!
