Hi all,

The numbers have been drawn! Please visit: http://www.briansinsanity.com/pool_with_numbers.xls to see the completed grid. Please note that because this is a 50 square grid, you have one number for the Colts and two numbers for the Bears so you actually have two chances to win! This is the same as buying two squares in the same column in a 10x10 grid.

For those of you who don't know how to win, lets say that the number you have for the Colts is 4 and the numbers you have for the Bears are 3,7. If the score at the end of any quarter ends in a 4 for the Colts and a 3 **OR** 7 for the Bears, you win!

I'll upload a screen shot of the grid to my diary for those of you who don't have Excel.

Good luck!!!

HI, what are the letters for? KathyT

Eugene, OR

LOL Wayne. You got it!

Kathy, the letters were there so people could choose a square if they wanted to. They have no affect on the results. The only thing that matters now are the numbers of the row and column your square is in.

Regarding seeds, if everyone would rather send seeds to me to send out, that's fine by me. I just thought in the interest of getting the seeds to winners more quickly, everyone would just send their seed/seeds directly to the winners once the game is over.

I was thinking of just posting the names of the winners and what they won after the game. Everyone who participated in the pool would then just look at the list to find who won their donation and send it directly to the winner.

Whatever the majority wants to do is what we'll do. I'd be happy to do whatever is necessary.

that sounds good to me just post who won

I agree Brian sending the seeds directly to the winners would be the fastest and cost efficient. Also, easier for you. If some people want to keep there addys secret from the rest of the world we could keep all the personal info in email form.

Good job Brian,

Agree with Brian's suggestion - he has put enough time into this. He does not need to babysit a ton of seeds. Just post the winners and their E-mail along with a list of their winnings. People sending the seeds could then E-mail the winner directly for their shipping address. Thanks again Brian.

Better yet......just bag 'em all up and send them to docgipe, Pumpkin Guy, Somwhere on the sidehills of Montoursville, Pa. That will save a lot of hassle. I'm going to win them anyway. :)

Eugene, OR

LOL Dwaine. You may just win...ya' never know.

Just wanted to post to let everyone know that I'll be posting the winners, along with the seeds they won, at the end of each quarter. Once the game is over, we'll draw names from the 46 people who didn't win the pool for the remaining donations until we're out of seeds.

In the interest of keeping everyone's mailing address as private as possible, please email me your mailing address and I'll give it to the people who need to send seeds to you. Since email addy's are hidden now, the emails you send will also help me contact everyone if necessary. Please include your BP.com name with your address so I know who's who.

Good luck!!!
