Ever Wonder Who Wins Giveaways with What Entries?

by Chautona Havig · 2 Comments

Well, I’m going to tell you this time. I’m going to tell you what entries became the winning entries! I mean, why not?  It’s fun information, right? I mean, did your newsletter sign-up get you the prize? What number was it?  Were you the first entry?  The last?  A generic middle?

who wins

(Note:: links in this post may be affiliate links and I’ll receive a small commission at no extra expense to you.)

So… let’s look at the three winners of the I Heart You Collection.

I mean we have three winners.  Who won?  Why?  Let’s check it out.

Winner #1: Rosetta
Entry Method: Comment Form  (I make my husband a nice dinner and we spend the time together enjoying each others company.)
Entry Number: 1316

Winner #2: Sarah
Entry Method: Email (the first thing you do to start the entries!)
Entry Number: 518

Winner #3:  Julie
Entry Method: “Other” (it doesn’t tell me which one)
Entry Number: 324

I want to point something out.  

Look at “Other.”  That one.  Have you ever wondered, “Who wins with an ‘other’ entry?”  Well… Julie did!  Those little things do make a difference sometimes!  So, if you wonder if it’s worth the time?  Well, any one of these people could have been that number one winner.  So yes! I think it’s totally worth it.

So what won the whole box?

Grand Prize Winner: Elizabeth G
Entry Method: Twitter Follow
Entry Number: 1672

Just a simple Twitter follow!  And it was LATE in the game.  According to PromoSimple, there were 1602 entries.  Why it says that Elizabeth was Entry 1672?  I have NO clue.  But it did.

I used the Random.org option within the widget, and it spat out these names. That’s it.  That’s all I did.  And it chose the winners. It’s so cool!!!

Did you see the other cool thing?  I have never seen this happen before, but look at those numbers. They’re all even numbers.  I’m pretty sure that has never happened.

congratulations

There you have it! Who wins these things?  These guys did!  Congrats all!

Book winners, please contact me with the email address you’d like your book sent to.  Elizabeth, check your email!  I’ll be asking for your address!

UPDATE:

According to the spreadsheet of individual entries, there are 1845.  So I don’t know where PromoSimple came up with 1602 in the dashboard, but considering number 1672 won, I think the 1845 is much more accurate.

    I wasn’t sure if you got my email. I was excited to see I was one of the winners in your Valentine contest. You are one of my favorite authors. My daughter Jennifer got me hooked on your books. Always look forward to the next book coming. Thank you, Rosetta Miles

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 532: A Chat with Lynn H. Blackburn
byChautona Havig

Seriously, the best fictional place on the planet, Gossamer Falls, has a final book for fans. Listen in as Lynn Blackburn and I chat about the future of this beautiful world she’s created.

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

I was so excited to hear that there might be more to Gossamer than we first thought.

As always, I loved chatting with Lynn about what she’s got going.

Last to Fall by Lynn H. Blackburn

She’s caught in a deadly game. He’s the only one who can help her win. Bronwyn Pierce has poured everything into The Haven, her family’s exclusive mountain resort in Gossamer Falls. But when financial discrepancies surface and the numbers suggest something far darker than simple mismanagement, she’s forced to call on the one person with the skills to help her: Mo Quinn, a former Army intelligence officer, her first love, and the last person she ever wanted to trust again. Mo has spent years avoiding the woman he once loved and the secrets that tore them apart. But when Bronwyn calls, he can’t walk away–especially when it’s clear someone wants her gone for good. As they dig deeper into the treacherous motives behind a blackmail scheme, their proximity reignites long-buried feelings neither of them are ready to face. And when the evidence points to an unexpected culprit, Mo faces an impossible choice: trust the proof in front of him or trust his heart. With danger closing in and no one else to turn to, Bronwyn must break years of silence with Mo to uncover who’s trying to destroy The Haven. They’ll have to risk everything–including their hearts–to expose the truth before it’s too late. The finale to Blackburn’s Gossamer Falls series is an exhilarating romantic suspense novel packed with tension. This gripping read will hook fans of the family rivalry, bodyguard, small town, second chance romance, and forced proximity tropes.

Learn more about Lynn and her books on her WEBSITE. Don’t forget to follow her on BookBub and GoodReads.

What's it about?
When protectors become targets, no one is safe.
Mark created The Agency to shield the innocent—but now an unknown foe fights to assume command. As shadowy threats tighten around Mark and his team, danger erupts on every front: terrorists at sea, betrayal within their ranks, and an enemy who always seems one step ahead.
While a Caribbean cruise turns deadly and secrets unravel in the agency’s halls, one shocking betrayal proves the enemy is closer than anyone imagined. Mark faces the fight of his life—not just for the future of his organization, but for the people he loves most. As faith and romance grow amid the fallout of shattered dreams, the stakes rise higher than ever.
The countdown to the series finale has begun… and survival is anything but guaranteed.
