The Noon deadline is officially here.

All purchased subscriptions purchased from 12:01pm onward will be eligible to next month's grand prize contest.

Subscription eligible participants: You have each been assigned a number from 1 - 13, based on the chronological order or subscriptions purchased. Using Random.org's true random number service, we will pick the Grand Prize, Second prize and Third prize winners based upon the first, second and third numbers the random number generator has picked.

If, for some reason, you win the Grand Prize and cannot attend Sunday's game, you may elect to select another of the prizes, thus allowing the second number picked to win the Grand Prize, and so on. Sports Lounge, LLC is not responsible in any way for the winner's transportation to and from the Ed Jones Dome for the 12:00pm (noon) game.

The random number sequence will be generated at 5:00pm, CST. Good luck!

Stay tuned for next month's contest which, God willing, will have late-October Cardinals Playoff tickets. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Winners: Please contact me for further instructions. Thank you!

Blues Fan in SF cannot make the trek, and has elected to take the second prize: a replica jersey (He's getting a Faiders jersey). That means that Gracie is now, by virtue of default, the grand prize winner.
