Oh yeah....this contest....

Not much worse than losing so badly at a contest that you had a 50% of winning in.

I felt much shame and do so again.

The odds weren't quite that easy.  I think at the end there were ten entries.  Granted, four of them were Rakie and her family.   ;)

So really it was 30% chance of winning.  Or you can do more complex math and factor in the decision to only give one prize per person.  :)

Okay, I think that's taking things a little too far...

I mean, even if your daughter's Veruca Salt or something... really...
