[UPDATE] Subreddit of the Day Contest Results! I couldn't have planned for this to have turned out better! PLEASE READ!

This is one for the books ladies and gents. The other day I held a contest highlighting you for your community's awesomeness. There were 40 of you wonderfully enthusiastic redditors that participated and I think the entire thing went off without a hitch! There were requests from book sets, to metallica wallets, to postage stamps! I want to say THANK YOU to all you who have made this community pretty rad! But, as with all contests, a winner must be declared.

THE WINNER FOR THE CONTEST IS:

CUTIEJUDY

AND IN THE COMMENTS, SHE REQUESTED:

A NICE SMELLING CANDLE AND THE REST OF THE MONEY TO HELP NOTURUSUALREDDITOR's CAUSE. HE POSTED ASKING FOR HELP WITH A WISHLIST FOR CHILDREN WHO'S MOTHER HAD BEEN KILLED.

Here is where things get really awesome!

The story/charity that Noturusualredditor posted about is also the one that LarahZee, the most upvoted comment in the contest thread, wanted to help!

Many of you commented saying that if you won, then you wanted the money to go to this family!

What a great way for this contest to end up! I did not plan for this to happen! I thought I was just going to be getting someone a gift worth that amount!

For the sake of transparency, here is a screenshot of the list in Excel I made of all of your names, and the random number generator I used to pick the number!

I WILL ENCOURAGE EVERYONE IN THIS COMMUNITY TO GO INTO THE COMMENTS OF MY CONTEST AND FIND A GIFT THAT YOU WANT TO FUFILL FOR ANOTHER REDDITOR!

Thank you again to everyone! This has been a great experience for me and I hope that this subreddit will continue doing great things.

Good Vibes,
