hi, people! something looks very fishy bout this contest. i WAS the other winner or i should say i was the ONLY winner. i read thru ALL the entries posted for the scores and i Was the only person who put a prediction score of 32. hmmm??? i read thru several times and did NOT even see this guy, gary zambo's name, anywhere on the entries i've e-mail the patch editor, cristel, and haven't had a reply/explaination to this. think somebody out there can tell me what happenned here? am i missing something? boy, was i excited on sun., watching the game.scores and knew i couldn't loose. 31 runs was the closest to me. take a look for yourself. they posted 19 entries. and none of them was this gary zambo fellow.i'm gonna keep looking into this. i never win "Jack"!!! anyone have any idea how i can figure this out, please? thanks if you can. wm. muller

hmm? reading the patch e-mail announcing the winner, again ,i noticed it says " few participants counted on 35 total runs..." a few? nobody did! so how can you say a few? then gary zambo DIDN"T win either, right? might just need a congressional hearing on ths matter. how deep does this go? the white house? hmmm? i need answers, people!!! i CAN "handle the truth" :)

Hi William,
The winner was selected among all submissions from the Chicagoland and Milwaukee area. Our sites can only link to other Patches in the immediate area, so not all of the submissions were visible on this site. You can find some of the other submissions at http://muskego.patch.com/articles/pro-baseball-pick-em-contest-winner-announced and http://evanston.patch.com/articles/contest-guess-scoring-outcome-in-milwaukee-chicago-series-to-win-100-gift-card-83093a42#pdf-9650046 The original winner was named based on a random drawing. However, we learned that there was a correction made this week to the winner, as one of the Wisconsin contestants actually guessed 33 runs. This story has been updated to reflect that. Thanks for playing. And, as they say, there's always next year!

still sounds "fishy"!!! i found gary zambo on facebook. sorry gary that we both got excited for nothing. my poor lil niece and nephew aren't going to get a summer sports surprise from their uncle. oh, well congrats to "MP" with your win. (if you actually exist!) NOW, bring on the next contest. i believe in the Cubbies. they can win. so why not me, someday. and don't screw it up this time. OK? ;)

If mp is from the muskego patch, they've deleted all their entries. how convenient. can we say "ALWIVES". phew! taliban? i'm giving up gotta go see what that "package" is that just got tossed on my balcony just now. later, peeps. go Cubbies!!!

That was actually the Wisconsin story that announced the winner. If you click the link to the contest page (http://muskego.patch.com/articles/contest-guess-scoring-outcome-in-milwaukee-chicago-series-to-win-100-gift-card) you'll see the entries. Sorry for the confusion!
