*The Contest*

Between now and 6:30 PM server time, send an email to:

pax_contest@penny-arcade.com

with the following info:

Your Name:
Your Ticket Number OR Order Confirmation Number from Brown Paper Tickets:
Your Phone Number:
A Number between 1 and 1,000,000: (please enter this as the subject line to the mail)

I wish it were more an elaborate contest given the prize, but to keep things fair, I'm doing this in the most random fashion i can.

I have preselected a number between 1 and 1,000,000.

Whoever is closest to that number wins.

If two or more people tie, whoever emailed in first wins.

The prize is not transferable. If I call up the person (it will be tonight at 7:15 PM) and they don't want it, it will defer to the next closest winner based on the number.

What are you playing for?

Well, the 20th Omeganaut Slot, of course.

Some guy.

    Sorry mine said "The Contest". I guess I'll have to settle for second place.

    My subject line was "Khoontest"

    It probably would have helped if I had remembered that 6:30 PDT is not right now, but an hour from now, and I wouldn't have scrambled to get that email out so fast.
