And the winner is…
wendy_q420
Congratulations!
Just to clarify my methods, I put each name that entered the contest into an Excel spreadsheet (there were 6 names) in the order that they commented. (stephen first, superdude4agze second, etc.)
Then, I created a formula to randomly pick a number between 1 and 7 (1.00->6.99). The formula was RAND()*(7-1) 1. The number that it came up with was 4.1001456. Thus, since the whole digit was 4, wendy_q420 was the winner, as she was the fourth person to comment.
If anyone sees any fault with the above logic, please let me know, and I’ll draw again. Otherwise, keep an eye out for the next Swag Bag giveaway!

did you try it twice to see if it came up witha a random number? you should just roll some dice at home man.
Yeah, 4.1 was the first number that the formula came up with, and then I tested it out a few times to make sure it was a random number, and that there was an equal chance of the number being between 1.00 and 6.99. (Everything seemed to work out ok.)
Dice would have worked in this case, but I wanted to come up with something that I can use for contests where there are more than six entrants, so I think this is going to work for those times as well.
WOW!!!! I never win anything!! Im sooooo excited!!!! Thanks again so much!!!
