  Total Award not including free PCs.
 
   

** Order was over $2,500.00. As per the rules only $2,500.00 was awarded.

 
       
   

We have 37 free order winners and one order which will receive a $2500 credit for a total of 38 order winners. This year we have winners from 4 different countries!  Some of the TryForFree winners were charged prior to selecting the winners. They will receive a refund.

As per the contest rules, the TryForFree order winners will be listed once all TryForFree orders are shipped. If you are a TryForFree order winner, either your order will not be charged or you will receive a full refund if you have already been charged. Winners will be notified that they are a TryForFree winner within 1 week of receiving delivery of there order starting August 1, 2009.

 
       
   

How the winners were selected:

All orders from the sale were placed in Microsoft Excel. A new column was added and the internal random function "rand()" was used to assign a random number to each order. A second column was added where the values of the random column were copied. The orders were sorted in descending order based on that fixed, random number. 

To select the TryForFree (free order winners) we starting at the top (largest random number) we started adding the total order amounts until we reached $20.000.00.  Non-TryForFree orders were skipped.  

The sorting procedure was duplicated to pick the 4 PC winners. Because they were completely separate selections a very luck person could win both a PC and a free order!
