Did you enter the Excel 2010 Future of Productivity Giveaway, that ended at noon yesterday, Tuesday, June 8th? The giveaway prize was a copy of Microsoft Office 2010, a Flip video camera, and a Seagate 1TB hard drive.
Of course, I used Excel to select the winner, from all the valid comment entries. I typed the comment numbers onto an Excel worksheet, with RAND functions in the adjacent column. Then, I calculated the workbook 3 times, to mix up the RAND results.
Finally, I sorted the RAND column in ascending order, and the comment number at the top was the winner. To satisfy the auditors, here's a video of the random comment number selection.
And the Winner Is...
As you saw in the video, the random number selected was 22 -- the comment by Naomi B. Robbins. Congratulations, Naomi! You win the prize package:
- one (1) copy of Microsoft Office 2010: Home and Business
- a Flip Ultra HD Camcorder
- a Seagate FreeAgent Desk Hard Drive (1 TB)
The prize value is approximately $589 USD, and someone from Ignite Social Media will be in touch with Naomi to arrange delivery.
Thanks for Entering
Thanks for entering the giveaway, and thanks to Ignite Social Media for sponsoring it. I hope you saw a few new features in Excel 2010 that you're looking forward to using!
