Also funny trivia… when I generated the random number between 1 and 26, the first two numbers it picked were five and six… which were already winners :thinking: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/4/4/0446c1b12d5b5bb5d637878659dcbae0140b1a1a.jpeg) ---

Wow… Codinghorror, you’re a pillar of the yoyo community. Thanks so much for running this! One of, if not THE, best thread on the board. Also a really great way to remind folks not to fear dings! So much awesome here. And I’m THRILLED, I never win these sorts of things 😳 ---

I deem this contest COMPLETE! 1st 🥇, 2nd 🥈, 3rd 🥉 and bonus prize have been mailed out and the majority already received. One thing I thought you all should know, @yoyo_girl_700 asked if she could send her prize to a friend who was affected by the California Camp Fire. That was such a generous gesture that I was also inspired… and asked her if she would permit me to send a second yo-yo (of equivalent value, a MIB bimetal CLYW) to her friend, so both of them could “win”. She graciously agreed. More winners = more awesome! Thank you to everyone who participated, and I hope everyone enjoyed the stories of well-loved and played yo-yos!
