I'm confused. I thought today was drawing day and yet acorns are still for sale. I need my kid video fix!

The drawing was held last evening I believe after sales were over. Then Dave needs time to post the results and video. That, if memory serves usually happens in the early evening of the day after so it should be soon.

But the sales aren't officially over, Bill. The ticket-buying tab still works.

If you read at the bottom of the raffle announcement it says raffle closes 7pm on the 23rd CST.
He probably just forgot to change it to sales closed. If the raffle was held, your acorns might be wasted.

That must be the case. Luckily, my tickets were purchased long ago, so the acorns won't be wasted. I clicked on the tab just to see whether it was still working.

Zu, I seem to remember the same thing happening in June. Not 100% sure.

I think that Dave will honor it for next month.

Dave shuts it off before he draws winners , I am sure they are just running behind.
and haven't got around to drawing or making a video yet.

I am a little concerned. I figured that the video would be posted by 8:00pm Central. It is just twenty minutes late or so but with little ones running around who knows what the delay might be.
It is just a matter of time but the anticipation is killing me!!!

Well it's not like Dave and gang don't have anything else to do. I would imagine with kids and gardens and a lot of property and computers and people like us (but not us) pestering them with 'issues', that there's a lot of things to take care of. Just as long as tickets purchased after 7 pm last night are still valid or saved for the next NARR. 😈

Are the winners notified by email or is it up to us to come back here to see who won?

Winners will be contacted by tree mail

if your Garden.org settings are set to send you an email message when you get a private message
then you will get a email telling you , you have a tree mail message.
