Can you all tell us who won the 508 contest yet?

Or has a name not been drawn yet?

I was just checking cause I can't find the results for the polls and who won.



I hope it's me :) (I'm still using the DPlayer) :) if you no what I mean, I need it.

The number was just drawn, now we are waiting on the verification of the number.

The way it worked was that all the correct entries were randomized and put into an excel spreadsheet, the spreadsheet was then shared between Mark and Chris (and ONLY with Mark and Chris) then John Corn was asked to randomly select a number (which he just did) Now they will match up that number with the same number in the Excel spreadsheet, and will name the winner.

Congradulations to whoever is the winner from us here at DBSTalk.COM and DishDepot.COM!

The winner will be contacted via email, and as soon as we hear back from this person, the winner will be announced, and we'll start up the contest again for the next month with the new prize package.

Email hasn't been sent yet, Tony. :lol: I'm still waiting on confirmation from Chris. Who knows if you'll be the one getting the email or not? The only thing that I know for sure right now is that the email won't be coming to me. :( Oh well...the price I pay for running these things... :)

Good luck to the winner when we find out who it is. I hope I win it but I think someone that has never had one before would enjoy it more being that they will more than likely never had one.

Sorry guys...the email's been sent. If you haven't gotton it from me, then unfortunately your name wasn't the one drawn. But, on the bright side, we're getting ready to start the next month's contest!

John - that's the email addy you have registered here.

I'm still waiting to hear from the winner. If there's no word from them by the end of the week, then it's off to draw a new winner.

My ISP has a "spam filter" and I noticed that they are marking mail from DBStalk as spam (I have no idea why and I have got mail from Scott that wasn't blocked). I have to submit a "permit" so that all DBStalk.com mail gets through. I would hate to miss that "you are a winner" e-mail.

your ISP must be using the same "smart" spam filter that mine uses.
I just disabled it becaue it seemed to be random at what it caught. It was even catching personal emails that were plain jane, no attachments, etc.
Be a good idea for anyone with a email filter to check the quarantine list. ;)

Is there a reason why you can't post who the winner is?

There seems to be alot of us (me included) that are afraid we might have missed that important email message.

I'm sure he's sent a PM to the winner also.

Mark Lamutt

Yes, a PM went to the winner as well. And just to let you guys off the hook - no one that has posted to this thread to this point was the drawn name.

The reason that I don't post who the winner is yet is that he/she has to come forward to claim the prize before I can make it public in the event that we have to draw another winner.

In case you've missed it, the official winner of the 508 has been announced. Look at the top of the page.

Better luck next time around everyone! Still lots of prizes to give away! :)
