I have been voting everyday, but the last couple of days it has been a tad difficult, the voting button doesn't show up!

Hmmph!

I've had that a couple of times.  I've found that if you shut down your browser, start clean and go directly to the voting, it seems to work.

Just over an hour left, I believe.

Well, that's if you believe what they put in the rules (which they've already failed on at least two points).

I just thought I'd try voting again, since the 'day' has ticked over, AND I COULD!

Don't know if it will count - but I'll keep voting while I can!

Still waiting.


Here's the link for the official prize notification page: http://bit.ly/m65wnL.  Nothing much there at the moment - just a page saying:

EExtraordinary 10-Second Hero
The Winner List for this promotion will be posted here after the promotion end date listed in the Official Rules and once all winners have been selected and confirmed.

Prize Fulfillment Services



As is usual in competitions such as this, the rules allow for the Sponsor to (basically) change any of the rules 'in their sole discretion' (i.e. whenever they feel like it) ... so there is no real certainty about anything.

I have an answer of sorts - It doesn't state WHO the winner is, but confirms that I have won a laptop. (The winners notification page doesn't either)

But here is the email

We're happy to let you know you’re a winner in the EExtraordinary 10-second Hero! You've won a Model Y570 Lenovo Laptop Computer which has an approximate retail value of $1200. Congratulations!

so now to find a JP.......... and get the paperwork signed! I think a chemist is a JP is that right?

Most Chemists are JP's Wokie. But if yours isn't, they should be able to tell you where the nearest one is.

I would like to say thank-you to everyone who supported and voted for me, during the running of Lenovo Competition and the possibility for Marysville to win $50,000. Marysville wasn’t chosen as the overall winner, a group using the name of ‘Operation Smiles’ were the final winner. 

Congratulations to Operation Smiles, They are a group based in Bogota BC, who help people with Cleft Palettes and gives them their smile back. They are based in Bogotá BC.

One person/One group CAN make a difference as has been proven by the many applicants who have made a difference in their part of the world.

It takes one idea, one person and the rest is history!

My difference has been $4900 (so far) raised for the Marysville Community, the township devastated by the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires. One small idea, one person and the rest is history!

Thank-you again.

Don’t forget that Christmas is almost upon us and the Marysville Cookbook would make a great gift idea even for the most seasoned cook.  How often have you struggled to find a recipe to use a certain ingredient? The Marysville Cookbook overcomes this, by listing the index in not only recipe name, but also by major ingredient, therefore bypassing the time required to locate recipes!

Enjoy
