Late last night, we saw the 1,000,000th comment posted, which brings our contest to an end.

It’s been a great ride, but now it’s time to put this contest to bed, and announce who will receive the prize package that includes KU-NU tickets, concert tickets, some stuff as well as a dinner.

All told, we received 150 entries, 16 of which guessed within 24 hours of the correct time the comment was posted.

Here are the six users who guessed closest to the actual winning time, identified only by their username, except for the winner who has agreed to allow us to recognize her by name.

1. hey_brother (Megan Maksimowicz) Off by 7:51:50

Megan is from Wichita, registered with the site just in time to enter the contest.

The contest was close, but somewhat strangely the three finishers closest to winning were all from out of town. Everyone from Lawrence was nine or more hours off from the correct prediction. If not for the KU football-basketball brawl Wednesday, someone from Lawrence might have been the winner. Strange how that happens.

I also should recognize Jayhawk1952, our 1,000,000th commenter. He’s the retired Rev. Garry M. Wright, 69, of El Dorado, Kan. He signed up to post a comment about the KU football-men’s basketball mess, and saw the entry about the countdown. He has four children and 20 grandchildren, a Jayhawk fan for 57 years. He was last in Memorial Stadium in the 50s, when his high school band played as part of Band Day. He’s been a follower of KUsports.com, but never posted until Wednesday.

Congratulations to Garry, and also to Megan. And thanks, again, to everyone who made this contest a blast.
