Coin Jar Count Giveaway! Win a Free Starbucks Card! ($5)

by mapgirl on August 18, 2009

To win this prize, all you have to do is guess how much money was in my boyfriend’s coin jar/vase when I took the coins to a Coinstar machine.

Some clues:
1. The vase is 12″ tall and about 6″ wide at the base, and 8″ wide at the top.
2. It was not full all the way to the top.
3. My boyfriend cherry picks out the quarters for Diet Cokes from the vending machine at work.

The Starbucks card was a door prize for a company event. It has $5 on it. Not a lot, but I thought someone would like it. I no longer travel anywhere near a Starbucks since my knitting group no longer meets at one. I’ve had the card for nearly 4 months now so I’d like to gift it to someone for fun during the summer lull.

Rules (ripped off from Free Money Finance)

1. I will be the complete and final judge.

2. Legal disclaimer: I will send out the card out via USPS first class mail, but I will not guarantee delivery of the item.

3. It will be the winner’s responsibility to email me their contact information once the winner is announced. If you win something and do not contact me within a week of winning, I reserve the right to give your prize away to another winner. I won’t track down the winners — it’s your responsibility to leave a valid email address in your comment-entry and then check it to see if I have emailed you as the winner, or return to the contest pages to find out if you’ve won. Your spam blocker is not my problem. I will send out one email to notify you, but if you don’t see it, I will not be held responsible.

4. Local laws, rules, and regulations apply.

5. Winners are restricted to the US because the prize is in US dollars.

6. Comments will close on August 31st at midnight (with whatever timestamp the webhost puts on it. I think it’s PDT.). I will announce a winner in early September.

Additionally, if there is a tie between the two closes guesses (plus and minus), I will pick the winner from the minus guess.

Good luck!
