If you win a prize, can you win more than one?

Expecting the phone to ring at any moment. :-)

[NateB1]

No call at the West Coast. Too bad. :(

[dianamb2007]

Maybe it's just me, but it appears that NO ONE has been notified yet.

If ANYONE wins this contest, it HAS to be one of you geniuses on this site!!!! I mean NO sarcasm by that. You guys are unbelievably brilliant!

Give it a little time.... the emails/calls will start coming. My guess is that quite a few people from this site are going to win some pretty awesome prizes!

Good luck to you all - you deserve it!!!

[zzzots]

If they aren't going to formally announce the big winner till tomorrow, then they aren't going to email the "little" winners before then either, huh?

Due to the number of silly questions I have seen here, I think that those of you that haven't done so before, should READ THE OFFICIAL RULES!!!!!
