Is it me or is "KurtisBertolami" a double winner with two copies of berry pop-up. how many does one person need? Guess I am a bitter loser :)

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

Fixed. Drew a new winner for the double winner (added it to bottom).

FYI...how we pick winners. We have a module built into our backend that for any given post will list all of the logged in commenters, and from there I can select how many winners I need (10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200 etc) and it will pick them at random and spit them out to me.

From there I typically sort them alphabetically to ensure there's no duplicates and pick another winner in the case if there ever is (typically isn't an issue). Today I was just trying to get these up so skipped that step.

Congrats to all those who won again. And if you didn't, just stay tuned. More chances to win are coming soon.

Sorry Kevin, but ur system isnt good. One user ("all4berry") won three copy's of BerryPopup, please tell me why? Im not jealous, but he/she dont need three copy's at all.

Congratz for all other winners.

I don't think anybody would care if somebody won on two different contests. My concern was that there were so many that did. Example: BB Popup had 200 free and 2500 comments. So chance of winning is about 8%. Themes was 100 free and 900 comments. Chance of winning is about 11%. But the chance of winning both is less than 1%. And those are the ones with the greatest odds of winning two and everybody that posted on the themes contest also posted on the pop up contest.

So seeing one or maybe even two people win on two contests is pretty reasonable and I would think them very lucky, but seeing four should be fairly mathmatically impossible.

I am glad that you came back and clarified all the confusion and I love the site. I check it every morning and like to post when I feel it helps or I'm excited about something.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to all the great news coming down the line.

How sweet is that??? Thanks to CB and to Kevin for the opportunity and for the awesome site! Congrats to all the winners as well. I cant wait to get my new theme. Now comes the hard part, picking one out, lol!! Thanks again and remember to keep Berrying everybody!!!!

 
 
Posted by cwhitney24 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1007 days ago

I never win ANYTHING on this site. I have won stuff from pinstack.com, blackberryrocks.com, and berryreporter before they shut down.....grrrrrr o well congrats on the big number of people on the site.

 
 
Posted by lcfut Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1007 days ago

a simple expression of

USE [Crackberry_DB]
Select count(username)
From 'contest_entry_table'

anyone on that list with more than one entry should have been instantly disqualified - and not allowed to win 2 copies of a program.

people who just enter the words PICKME!!! and paste it in a hundred times into a contest entry post are rediculous.

PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO A POST. my six-year old can paste PICK ME a hundred times and she doesnt need a Blackberry Bold.

to all those who entered ONCE and won - congrats on your prize.

 
 
Posted by Moganus Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1007 days ago

Your 6-year old is smart.

 
 
Posted by wojtas25 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

I agree with You. "all4berry" user won three copy's of BerryPopUp. He/She should share one of them with (me) others which not won!

 
 
Posted by moody6635 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1007 days ago

Winning = heart failure.

 
 
Posted by dpperk29 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

holy cow, I won something! tweet genius ftw!

 
 
Posted by The_New_Dude Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

I do a name search and it brings me right to the "Post New Comment" section....

Ahhh one day, just one day i'll win something cool...

 
 
Posted by jay_man33 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

First off, I did win - but here's my 2 cents.

1. One post per account - that'll stop the multiple waste of space
2. More than "pick me" - shows some thought/reason for wanting the device
3. 1 win per user within 30 days - there's more than enough users, some are doubling up in multiple contests, including a double winner in THIS one....raises concern of coercion.

Congrats to all single entry winners! This is my 10000 contest and I finally won, hang in there everybody!

Cheers!

THANKS for the BERRY Pop Up...I cant wait to install this.
This just totally made my week!!!

Thanks Crackberry!!

 
 
Posted by dheser Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

Oh my...Guess i will never get the bold unless i fork over the cash....

Remember Kevin next time...dheser is the user name you want to typed under the Winners of the ultra cool new phone

 
 
Posted by Made_in_RIM Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

I finally won something. Thanks kevin and every addict on here! I will definitely use this.

 
 
Posted by wojtas25 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

Pfft, its not fair! "all4bery" user won 3 copy's os BerrPopup!!! Theres no justice! :(

 
 
Posted by Moirethe Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

That's not right. How many times did "all4berry" comment in order to win that many times??? Whenever I enter, I only comment once, I thought there was some sort of disqualification process for multiple entries like other sites, obviously not :(

 
 
Posted by jeffreyd_tx Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

There are multiple multiple winners:
all4berry 3
BrownDawg 2
boldguy3000 2
blile 2
hoho 2

 
 
Posted by maxcrowley Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

I wish I won

Posted by Jay_eS_Iye Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

I searched the page for "Jay" hoping to see my name, and say Jeff2Jay and jay_man33 but no me...

 
 
Posted by Mathrin Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

Multiple winners of the same application? Won across two applications? And a couple won not twice but THREE TIMES?

This is absolutely pathetic. It would be nice to win a contest from time to time, but I don't have time to spam the comments hoping to win. I work 60 hour weeks as an engineer and I try to spend what's left of my free time with my girlfriend.

Had I known that Crackberry takes no effort in choosing winners, then I wouldn't have wasted my time making a post that was meaningful to the topic or keep checking back for the results (well I keep checking back anyway because I love the site).

all4berry won 3 times (Berry Popup x3)
blile won 2 times (Berry Popup x2)
boldguy3000 won 2 times (Berry Popup x2)
BrownDawg won 3 times (Berry Popup x2, JC Designs x1)
FRoStYisGoD won 2 times (JC Designs x2)
hoho won 2 times (Berry Popup x2)
LikeNoOther won 2 times (JC Designs x2)
Merschz won 2 times (JC Designs x1, Berry Popup x1)
RollinRiffin won 2 times (Berry Popup x1, JC Designs x1)
ronin2046 won 2 times (JC Designs x1, Tweet Genius x1)

Send this in a PM to Kevin... That's seriously lame.

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

Just posted an update to the post above.

Will get some extra winners posted shortly.

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1006 days ago

Multiple winners removed. Doing a few extra draws to get more winners in.

FYI - it is NOT an error to win in more than one contest. People can enter every contest, and can therefore win in multiple contests. However, standard procedure is to remove multiple entries (only the first entry is kept), and then winners are drawn at random from there.

We did some tweaks to the code to add bigger drawings (used to be only 10, 15, or 25 and we needed to grow it to 50, 100, 200 but I guess broke something in there on eliminating the duplicate names). Will be all good moving ahead.

Thanks for the fix and the clarification Kevin! :)
