If you’ve been reading this blog long enough, you’ve probably noticed by now that I just love to give stuff away. Unfortunately, getting the prizes to the winners seems to be the difficult part, and it’s not for a lack of trying on my part. This seems like the week of contests as I wrap a few things up and try to resolve old contest winners.
I had a winner for this contest, who I emailed and never heard from. I sent a follow-up email today, so we’ll see if I get to mail that out soon.
I had two winners for this contest, but neither responded to my DM tweets to collect, so I’m having a super fast 1-day contest again to give it away.
I held this contest last week and drew a winner who I’ve emailed today.
Finally, a previous contest winner who won a PS3 from a scam artist posing as a sponsor. After some time trying to get the “sponsor” to do anything close to forking over a prize, I went out and bought the prize winner a PS3 system myself. As it turns out, she’s looking to give that prize back out to a charity this summer, as she won’t need it.
It’s been a fun week for prizes, and I’ll have more prizes to give out soon, but I need to actually send some of these out first. Look for more contest announcements here and on Twitter as soon as I send one or two of these out.

Joe, since you mentioned the PS3 and the scammer who failed to deliver- I’ll come out and say a public thank you- to you, for going through the trouble of dealing with those idiots and using your own money to pay for the PS3. I was originally going to give it to my cousin’s little boy, but, a family argument showed me not everyone appreciates someone wanting to give a gift to make a child with very little, smile. After a news story about the local Ronald McDonald house, I’ve decided to donate it to them for their game room. I’ve already contacted the director and she’s going to set everything up to accommodate the PS3. I’ll try to buy a couple of games to go along with it- I’d rather give the system to kids who will appreciate it and hopefully take their minds off of their illnesses.

Beth: The donation idea is awesome, and I agree. It might as well go to kids who can appreciate it and if it helps take their minds off their illness, that’s awesome! As for PinkyArcade, I learned a hard lesson there about sponsorships and as far as I’m concerned, it was my contest, so I wanted to come through when they failed to.
