And the winner is.....

Ok, we had the drawing for the raffle last night and the winner is.... well, you will just have to keep reading. :)

First, I want to say how thankful I am to all you who bought tickets to help Nate and Erika bring Elijah home! God calls us to care for the orphan and by supporting adoption, you all did just that!! Thank you!! The raffle raised at total of $1,620.00!

Next, I wanted to share with everyone how we did the raffle. Everytime someone bought tickets, or reposted after buying a ticket, we entered their names in an excel program. We entered their  name and the number of entries and then assigned numbers, starting with 1. So, for example, if the first person bought 8 tickets, they were 1-8, and the next person, if they bought 3 tickets, were 9-11, and if someone reposted after that then they were 12, and so on...So, we had a list of everyone's names and groups of numbers assigned to them. We had numbers 1-314. Then we used a computer program to generate random numbers. We used random.org. First, we drew the number for the Ipod and number 200 won that. Then we drew for the IPad and number 39 won that. So, who are those numbers???

Well, the winner of the IPod touch was Tami Balts with #200 and the winner of the IPad2 with #39 was Lindsay Gibson. So congratulations to both of you and enjoy!!!
