Trixie Winter of Canberra, Australia, wins our $5,557 Draw the Pick contest!
After thousands of entries were collected, Trixie Winter of McKellar, Australia, a suburb of Canberra, was the randomly drawn winner of our Draw the Pick contest!
Her good luck nets her $5,557 worth of fabulous products and services from pipes|drums advertisers – one of the biggest prize packages ever offered.
“I don’t believe it!” Trixie says. “I never win anything. I’m so glad that I have won something that will feed my obsession. I still can’t believe it!”
This year’s contest took the place of our usual “Pick the Six” contest in which pipes|drums readers make their prediction for the six Grade 1 prizewinners at the World Pipe Band Championships.
Along with the other entries, Trixie Winter correctly answered this question: “What is your favourite 100% independent, 100% non-profit piping and drumming publication?”
The answer of course pipes|drums, the only 100% non-profit piping and drumming publication not tied to an association or other line of business.
Congratulations to Trixie Winter and thanks to all who entered and to our advertisers who contributed their wares.
Here’s everything that Trixie will enjoy, and we recommend all readers check out the products and services from them and all of our fantastic advertisers!
