Curses, 68 was drawn, and mine was 86! I suspect that there was an error in the random generation as a thoroughly fair generator would not have drawn 2 numbers so close together, i.e. 66 and 68.
But enough of my nerd rant, congrats to the winners c:
Hi James (Comment 1), I can assure you the random generator is testing fine 😉 Number 68 had my name on it! Don’t worry, every morsel of the prize will be savoured and enjoyed. We are cheapeats.ie gourmets!
Hey James, don’t want to get into a nerd-off here, but I don’t agree at all about the random generator – if the numbers were spread out evenly, that wouldn’t be random at all but would be a pattern. There’s no reason why two numbers that are close to each other shouldn’t come up…happens all the time in the lottery, etc.

Thanks james – do you think I’ll get an email with details or just turn up on Sunday???

You should have gotten an e-mail already by the sounds of it, as long as you posted the correct e-mail address.

I didn’t receive an email though. I think I’ll contact the site directly. Thanks James – hope I’ve won!
