Just time to do a post for the regular contest that goes on whenever there is a rollover on the Euromillion Lottery draw, just comment with your guess of 2 different numbers between 1 and 9 and if yours come up on this Fridays draw, you win a pair of these awesome Vmoda headphones.

Extended for one week!

Due to the Euromillions rolling over again this week (and my complete ineptitude for coming up with a subject for my next post) this contest is open until the 9th of May and all previous guesses that didn’t match for the last draw on the 2nd can carry over for this Friday 9th.

Good luck… I’m on a full calender of appointments this month so I might not be posting much during May, I’m still working behind the scenes on commentluv whenever I get a few minutes and the remote script is handling the load (it’s processed over 10,000 last blog posts in the past 7 days!!)

There’s been another rollover for the Euromillions this week, it goes up to over 40,000,000 Euros for next week which means there’s a chance for you to win a set of sexy Vmoda Vibe headphones just by successfully guessing the two lucky star numbers to come up this Friday.

Just leave a comment on this post with your two different numbers between 1 and 9 and if you match your numbers with the two lucky star numbers on Friday, you win!! Prize will be posted to anywhere in the world!

I had an excellent response to my contest with lots of people entering.
Everyone who entered made a nice post about the contest and mentioned my wordpress plugins which was excellent. I’ll post stats and geekery once Google analytics has updated it’s records to show up until Wednesdays visitors.

I did specify that the post they made needed to be at least 100 words, this was to cover the case of someone just slipping in a link within a massive post of other contests (which only happened once).

I did ask for an email from the entrant to say they entered but I think my spam monitor killed some of them (grr), but I kept a list of entrants from all the trackbacks, pingbacks, comments and emails over the past 3 weeks. If you entered but you are not listed here, sorry about that, please don’t take offense! and please let me know before the closing date!

Now, to choose the winner…. I think the fairest way will be to use the UK lottery Wednesday draw to select the winner, all the entrants that qualified will get 2 numbers and the others will get 1 number from a list of 48 (2 x 20 qualified and 1 x 8 others = 48). Whoever matches the bonus ball with their number wins the prize! (you can see the lottery results at my VWD site or see them on the right toolbar on this blog)

There are only 49 numbers on the UK lottery so if the bonus happens to be number 49, we’ll use the first drawn number to determine the winner.

If anyone else enters before midnight Tuesday 9th October or I missed someone off the list then I’ll have to go with the old faithful of picking a name out of a virtual hat but, having the winner chosen by something I don’t control is fairer I think (and more exciting!)

There’s still a few hours left before the contest closes so feel free to make your entry today (and don’t worry about putting me to the trouble of making a randomizer script to choose the winner!)

I would like to extend my thanks to everyone that entered, there were some great posts made about the contest and my plugins, and it certainly upped my Technorati ranking, traffic, incoming links and plugin downloads. I smell some more contests coming but maybe with a little bit more interaction.. watch this space!

I’ve decided to run a blog contest for a wonderful pair of Vmoda Vibe headphones.

(I must say thanks to Jonathan at J-news for his post about viral blog contests, it helped me put the format together for this post.)
These are some of the best headphones that I’ve ever tried, they cancel almost all of external noise I was used to with other types!

Here’s what my friend Diego had to say about them…

thanks for these headphones Andy! they are brill, I had to turn the volume down on my mp3 player for the first time ever!

High praise indeed seeing as Diego listens to thousands of tunes on his mp3 player, all of them at max volume and hasn’t had an ear problem yet! You can read an extensive review of the headphones at Anythingbutipod including frequency response and all sorts of technical information as well as some more photos. Here’s an excerpt:

The Vibes are a definite recommendation. I don’t know of any other IEM in the $100 category that comes close in sound clarity, crispness, instrument separation and fun, not to mention the build quality.

The rules:

• Post about this contest on your own blog and link to it with this url: http://www.fiddyp.co.uk/fiddyp-blog-contest/
  with anchor text of FiddyP Contest or FiddyP Blog or just plain old FiddyP
  
• The post on your blog should be no less than 100 words, please mention something about the wordpress plugins I have made, you can see some of them here, here and here
• Once you have posted about it, send an email to
  andy at teamplaylotto dot com with the subject line of “gimme some free headphones” so I can keep track of who has entered
• The contest runs for 3 weeks from today (Wednesday 10th October closing date)
• Open internationally, I will send the brand new unopened pack to anywhere in the world (I’m not responsible for any import tax!)
• The winner will need to make a post about the prize on their blog so I can link to it from here after the competition has ended (so everyone knows the winner received the prize)
• You can make a unique post about it for a maximum of once a week for 3 weeks for a maximum of 3 entries

The winner will be chosen by lottery, on Wednesday 10th October there will be a UK lottery draw, I will assign numbers to each person entered and the bonus ball drawn on the day will determine the winner. Say 20 people enter, each person gets two numbers, first person to enter gets numbers 1 and 2 and so on, if more than 49 people enter then I’ll work something else out.

This way, everyone can see the winner was chosen at random as long as I post what numbers are allocated to each entrant before the draw happens. Good luck!

Here’s another sexy picture of them:
