That means the qualified number of posts is actually closer to 300, and your odds of winning just got better!

And about half of those are mine..

Good luck everyone.

This contest is probably the easiest to win you'll enter all year.

In terms of the odds, you can't beat this:

• 474 posts have been made in total since the contest opened.

• But they don't all count! Only posts by members who joined before November 21 and already had at least 10 posts count.

• That means the qualified number of posts is actually closer to 300, and your odds of winning just got better!

So let's do a hypothetical: if the draw were held today and you've posted 10 times since Nov 21, you'd have about 1 in 30 chance of winning. Assuming the same amount of activity holds through to the end of the contest, your odds would stay the same.

Can't beat that!

Aww, guess im DQ'd good luck to all though, cant wait to see who wins.

What we're doing is taking the first and last post made during the contest period. We stick those post ID's into a random number generator at RANDOM.ORG - True Random Number Service and out spits our winning poster.

In the contest period, there were 1258 posts made, starting from post ID's: 187492 ending at 190784*.

Randomly chosen is...

HA! It picked me! Post #188230: http://www.aveoforum.com/forum/f81/c...40/#post188230

Let's try this again...

Wow - the next random post picked was from a spammer that somehow went undetected. Post deleted! Banned!

Trying again...

Congrats to you on winning. Maybe my time will come next year lol

Thanks man, im still in shock! I never win these, but this sure made my Christmas! Now technically MetroMPG won, so im feeling a bit guilty taking the honors of winning. I've gotten sooo much techy help in the few short months since I joined the site, that helped me get both of my Aveo's running great, what a bonus, dang! I can't tell you how thankful I am. Now im off to go buy a lottery ticket LOL

[MetroMPG]

Yup, Merry Christmas! And good luck on the lotto!

We'll be doing another contest in 2015.

Thanks! Quite an honor to finally win something. Since my LS doesn't have a front strut brace, that seems like a good choice.
