The 2015 Annual Giveaway Extravaganza Winners!

image

Phew! That was a blur!  You thought you were tired?  Just imagine what my web servers feel like after yesterday.  They’ll basically be doing the post-marathon day walk.

With the 2015 edition of the Annual DCR Giveaway Extravaganza now yesterday’s news, it’s time to get on to the most important part – the winners!

Thanks to everyone who entered in yesterday – it’s much appreciated!  Once again you broke the record for the most hits here at the site in a single day – some 400K!  Based on past historical trending, I’m convinced the only possible thing that could top that would be a combined Garmin/Strava sex tape.

This evening (post-nap) I went through and removed any accidental (or otherwise) duplicates of comments.  I also ensured that any comments that got tangled up in the SPAM filters were carefully put back in place. You were allowed one comment per giveaway, though you could enter as many giveaways as you’d like.  Thus everyone is all accounted for (once per giveaway)!

From there it was off to Random.org for the winners.  Here’s the full tally of winners and their comments.  All times US Eastern (it’s how I keep things straight).

  40. Tyler

    You have the wrong winner for the 4pm give away. Your random number was 3310, but you picked 3130. You can just give it to me instead.

    • Fear not – just a typo in the post. I’ve got screenshots of all the Random.org winners and the actual winner was indeed 3130 (same as screenshot). Phew!

  41. Azure

    Thanks Ray!!! I like the idea of the combined Garmin/Strava sex tape.

    – Random.org, I know where you live!! :)

  88. Nikola Lazarevic

    Than next year!!! :)

  89. stefan

  90. Grant

    Thanks for setting this up, gutted that I didn’t get lucky, but well done to those that did, I’m extremely envious.
    Also thanks for removing the accidental dupe entries, I know I was guilty of this at least once due to strange mobile/local wifi phone issues. Its really appreciated you don’t just knock them all out, so thanks

  91. Erick

    That was a different experience! Great job Ray!

    thanks Ray

  95. Congratulations to the winners!

  96. Jamie Belcher

    Well done Ray thanks for running this. Maybe next year I will get lucky.

  98. Ken daullary

    Had a great time entering all the fun free giveaways. Makes for an exciting day at work, no productivity but exciting, even if I didn’t win ?
    Thanks Ray!!

  99. Koen B

    Haha funny enough to see someone winning by replying a dutch expression. Roughly translated ‘If You Don’t Try You Will Never win’. So I’m keeping at that ‘niet geschoten is altijd mis’. It’s always an exciting events and perhaps next year I’ll be more lucky. Thanks for the effort Ray!

  100. Aitor

    Despite not winning anything thank you so much Ray for doing that

  101. Tim Johnson

    Thanks Ray for hosting a fantastic giveaway! Congrats to all the winners. I especially like Bryan’s winning comment.

    This was nuts! Your site traffic much have been absolutely crazy.

    Thanks Ray for organizing and thanks CT for the generosity.

  103. Thang

    is it too late to join the now?

  104. Roberto

    Thanks!! I won 2 days dreaming it was mine ;-)

  105. Thank you for even giving us all a change and all the people that makes this possible. Highly appreciated.

  106. Joel

    Foiled again by that dreaded Random.org number generator. There’s GOT to be some way I can hack system and ensure that I can win next year!

    meh heh heh.

    :-)

    Great work, as always.

  107. Alex

    Thanks Ray for the Extravaganza! Congratulations to the Winners!

  108. Damien

    Was a great event, as always

  109. Neil Brodsky

    Even though I didn’t win and was a zombie for the next couple of days, I enjoyed the extravaganza. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait for your Apple iWatch review.

    Best,
    Neil

  110. The REAL Tim

    I would have won, too, if it wasn’t for those meddling kids!!! (Probably a too obscure Scooby Doo reference for you, young Ray)

    Thanks again.

  111. Jimmy Stevenson

    I didn’t win, but still had a ton of fun! Maybe next year…

  112. john

    My girl friend thinks I’m nuts, but I had a great time, and I spent a bit of time re reading reviews and considering buying products that ordinarily I would not. So maybe Ray is crazy like a fox.

  113. Kendall

    Thanks again! Cool to see so much activity!

  114. With my Garmin stolen the other week I though I would wait to see if I had won one from you… Oh dear, best I start to look at buying a new one, I just can’t use the old 205 for ever…

  115. Michal Balicki

    Great job Ray, site is great -literally the bible on all sports gadgets. Hoping for better luck next year. Congrats to all the lucky winners!

  116. Peter

    Thanks again Ray for the amazing giveaway, it is always a fun day and congrats to all the winners.
    One of these days i’ll win something.

  117. Pascal

    Congrats to all!

  118. Seona

    Was it me that was lucky enough to win the GoPro? Can’t remember my comment. But my competitive side really wants it to be me.

    Thanks to DCRainmaker and Clever training for the giveaways. As everyone says they are so much fun.

  119. 8

    bah !
    I’ll win at Euromillion and buy Clever Training !
    congrats to the happy few !!!

  120. Silgit

    Congrats to the winners and thx Ray for this :)

  121. Tom S

    Thanks Ray,
    Always fun to try.
    Congrats to the winners

  122. Ray

    Thanks for doing this Ray. I would have loved to win but the competition was tough. I thought that if I left the comment ‘pick me, random number generator, pick me!’ that it would listen….guess not.

  123. Kevin

    Thanks for putting this on again!

  124. Janice Cronin

    Thanks Ray
