announcing a GIVEAWAY promotion for *Pool Ball Collectors*
- Thread starter K2Kraze
- Start date
Hello, everyone!
Well, the entrants for GIVEAWAY
have all been received and await the randomized drawing for the one winner to be conducted by my friend and proprietor of Fort Worth Billiards - Mr. Albert Trujillo.
Due to unplanned travel, I won’t be able to get the winning drawing done until this coming Wednesday afternoon - so please be patient and I’ll announce the winner - and get the prized ball set and miscellanea out to the lucky one.
Special thanks to my friend Rubik’s Cube for the great work, wonderful idea and word puzzle qualifier - and to all those folks that took time to submit a correct entry for this GIVEAWAY
GIVEAWAY
will now be announced on Wednesday as well so stay tuned.

You're more than welcome, Mr K. It's a pleasure to play a small part in such an altruistic endeavour. Bravo, sir!
Are we allowed to know who were the correct and qualifying entrants, sir? Or is that to remain secret to build the suspense?
Best wishes,
RC.

Hello RC!
Since I had everyone contact me personally via email and not in the public forum for this fun project, I think best to keep the identities of all entrants confidential in the interest of privacy - except the winner IF they agree to have their screen name shared as the lucky recipient and perhaps share their thoughts on the 9-Ball set when they receive everything.
I can say that I received only 9 correct entries for this GIVEAWAY and am looking forward to seeing how many will be interested in the GIVEAWAY project to follow when announced this Wednesday - with no qualifier this time 
Something unique and worthy of either display for conversation or hopefully used for play will be put up for
Oh - a parting thought today...
With all the recent chatter and talk of how best to clean and polish balls, I’ve decided to include a fresh bottle of “official” Aramith Ball Cleaner with each GIVEAWAY prize

Excellent idea, Mr K.
Just the nine correct answers, you say? Congratulations to everyone who deciphered the answer to my little puzzle (HYATT ROMANIQUES). You're all in with a great chance at the prize. Good luck!

I know, right!
My apologies, guys!
Nothing worse than being told one thing and getting another
but with my out-of-my-hands travel issues, I didn’t want to pull names out of a drink cup while out - I have a more elaborate method of randomness planned for tomorrow morning with Albert at Fort Worth Billiards. I’ll alert the winner (and post here on the forum if they say OK) and get the goodies sent tomorrow as well 
With a new bottle of Aramith Ball Cleaner I might add

Hello, gentlemen.
Would I be correct in thinking you both got the correct answer (Hyatt Romaniques) and are thus in tomorrow's draw? If so, the very best of luck!
I've been granted a sneak preview of Mr K's plans for his future giveaways and they're mighty impressive indeed, so there will always be another chance for everyone.
Many thanks for playing.

Yes, sir; I had a correct answer.

A winner has finally been selected for GIVEAWAY and I’m waiting to hear back from them via email before announcing the one lucky winner of the Eagle Eye Striped Nine Ball Set.
Numerous steps of randomization were employed to ensure the eventual winner was chosen by pure fate - and my good friend Albert from Fort Worth Billiards - that consisted of the following fun choices:
1) a random number generator app
2) drawing pills from a leather bottle
3) pool balls 1 - 9 pulled from a box blindfolded
4) a digital fun wheel of all things...
It happened to land on the lucky number 8
Check your email everyone - only the winner labeled number 8 was sent the “news”.
After received all of the emails from the folks that entered to play along with this crazy idea of a ball set giveaway promotion here on AZB, I really wish I had 9 of these unique ball sets to send out to everyone that took part - I could only find one in addition my 1 set all these years...
With that being said, and my personal commitment to promote “pool” and these great pool games we all play by way of paying things forward, I can say that I will follow through with at least 9 total GIVEAWAY promotions - in honor of the 9 guys that chose to play along. Too bad that 50 folks didn’t choose to play along
Spreading notions of fellowship and camaraderie, along with a well-know secret of overall success told to me decades ago: selfless competitiveness and leadership, it has once again proven to me that it is in the giving that we receive
Thank you to all 9 of you that showed interest and shared kind words via email!
GIVEAWAY coming up shortly - as soon as I hear back from “the winner of ”!

Well, guess that means I didn't win. 
Congratulations to the winner, and thank you guys for the giveaway!

Commiserations, Mr B. There's always next time, sir.
I hope the winner logs on to share his or her lucky news. Thank you once again for this incredibly generous gesture, K2K. Eight more future giveaways! You're a credit to the AZB forum, dear chap.
Best wishes,

Hehe
We all think the same thing don’t we, rexus31?! I know I have - so I can certainly appreciate your sense of humor. But yet a reasonable question.
If the winner isn’t front and center then keep calling numbers.
Or in this case, keep spinning that digital fun wheel.Perhaps I’ll use a giant Plinko Board next time if the entrants are a scant few on
.In all seriousness, since life can get in the way of our hobbies and games, and the fact this striped 9-Ball set isn’t easy to get ahold of, I’ll say I’d hold the ball set for him for 90 days. And then, if I’m unable to reach the fellow, that baby will go back up for GIVEAWAY
perhaps There’s more fun to be had though for
......coming right up!~ K.
