There were 79 entrants with the correct answer to my questions, and almost everyone obeyed the rules to the letter. I saved them all in one email file folder, listed by email reception time.
After the contest was closed on Sunday night, I went to www.random.org and entered 79 into the maximum number field and clicked on the "Generate" button.
#14 was the winner! On my email list, the 14th entry was Rod Van Cooten of Melbourne, Australia.
I passed Rod's email to my contact at Ancestry.com, and then I emailed Rod with my congratulations.
As part of this contest sponsored by Ancestry.com, Rod can select one of his friends to win another 3-Month Ancestry.com World Explorer Membership. How cool is that?
So - did you miss out on this opportunity? Well, stay tuned - I have a second, similar contest coming up later today!! Can my readers beat the 79 entries of the first contest?
