And so, as promised, I drew the two winners of my one year blogiverary giveaway yesterday, May 10, but I was out of town, so decided to way until I returned home to my proper computing facilities, to write the announcement post.

There were 11 entries in the non-Australian draw and 16 in the Australian draw, and, would you believe that the random number generator at mathgoodies.com generated 5 in both draws! That’s random for you.

The winners are, therefore:

• 5A (Australian-based address): Louise Allan
• 5N (Non-Australian address): Nancy Elin

Congratulations to Louise and Nancy, and commiseration to everyone else. I wish you could all have won, though that would have dented my wallet a little too much! Thanks everyone for playing along, and for all your good wishes for my ten years. You never know, I might run another one for a future anniversary.

Now, to claim your surprise prizes Louise and Nancy, you will need to send me your postal address for delivery of your book by midnight (AEST) on 18 May 2019. (My email address as at the bottom of my Who am I? page.)

If either or both of you don’t email me by the given date then I will re-draw a new winner for the prize/s.

Meanwhile, I will get on to selecting your special prizes!
