The True Blood “Who Died” Contest Winner

Okay, by now you should know who got killed in the True Blood Season 2 finale episode.

When Maryann was killed I immediately used the random integer software to select the lucky winner! Congratulations LisaL!

But then, lo and behold, Eggs got killed as well! Or did he? Well, for the sake of this contest I’m going to assume he’s dead. So when he got shot I had 2 choices:

1. Throw the names of the people who voted for Maryann into the pot along with the people who correctly guessed that Eggs would get killed, and select ONE winner.

2. Select TWO winners.

Hmmn, what to do . . . . . ?

Well, since this has been such a great True Blood season I decided to go with Option #2! Yes, in addition to awarding a prize to “LisaL” who correctly predicted that Maryann would be killed, I also decided to select a winner from the contestants who predicted that Eggs would be killed!

So the 2 winners are:

-LisaL (chose the Sookie Stackhouse box set)
-Traci (chose the $30 Amazon gift card)

Congratulations to LisaL and Traci! Please check your email accounts – you’ve got 24 hours to respond or I’ll roll the dice and select someone else. Thanks to everyone else who entered the contest!

I encourage you to continue visiting the site. I’ve got lots of great urban fantasy books that will be reviewed here. Additionally, since I buy WAY too many books I plan on holding several book giveaway contests during the next few months!

____________________________
UPDATE:

As of this writing neither of the winners have responded to my email messages. Therefore as promised, I’ve rolled the dice again and chosen 2 new winners:

-Dea
-Yelitza

Congrats to the new winners and remember, you have 24 hours in which to claim your prize (6:00am EST Wednesday, Sept. 16th) so please check your email.

I guess some people enter contests and then never check in to see if they’ve won . . . .

ANOTHER UPDATE (09/16/09):

Thus far, from “Round 2″ only Yelitza has responded. Never heard from Dea although it’s been 36 hours.

As you know each winner has 24 hours in which to respond; this was explained in the post above and also in the email that was sent to the winners. Although one winner from “Round 1″ did eventually respond the day after the deadline, if I award a prize to someone who responds after the deadline it means I’ll have to do the same for the other people, whenever they eventually respond. I hope everyone understands that I have to attach a deadline to the response time – otherwise I’d be waiting forever for people to respond. Case in point: to this date two of the selected winners have never responded to my email notice. It’s interesting, I’ve seen this happen at other book sites as well. People enter contests and then don’t check their email accounts.

Okay. let’s try this one more time. The new “Maryann will die” winner is:

Susan McConnell!

Susan, PLEASE respond to your email by Thursday, 6:30pm EST.

Did you ever think it would be this hard to give away a prize?
