jkOnTheRun readers hit big in Slingbox contest!

Back in July Kevin mentioned a contest run by the Slingbox folks that was going to snag Slingboxes signed by Tony La Russa for 75 lucky participants.  Yesterday was apparently the day the winners received their prizes and not one but two jkOnTheRun winners have received their signed Slingboxes!  Raphael Salgado and Ron P each got home yesterday to a nice surprise from the UPS guy and found a brand new Slingbox at their door.  It seems that no notification was given to the winners in advance so it was a total surprise for Ron and Raphael.  Ron is a very lucky guy as he’s the winner of the Sony U71 we gave away earlier this year (that’s it in the photo).  Ron sent this email and photo of his prize to share:

Img00035I owe you a big THANK YOU. Because of your post on July 11th informing your readers about the Contest to win a Tony La Russa Autographed SlingBox Classic, I went and did a Video and submitted it right away. The contest was fairly simple, make short video describing what you do or would do with a Slingbox if you had one and then post it to a public access blog or social network site like YouTube. I sent the required EMAIL with the Link to my YouTube Video and that that was that. So about 6 weeks has gone by and I really had forgotten all about it. Today I go to the front door and Lo and Behold a brand new La Russa Autographed SlingBox Classic is awaiting me.

Without the guys at JKOnTheRun constantly scanning the Net and bringing us information links and announcements like this contest, we all stand to miss out on great little deals like this, and for this I am a Thankful JKOTR reader. After all, we cannot cover everything on the net ourselves, so having two more sets of eyes, namely James and Kevin, can obviously help make sure we are getting the news while we are OnTheRun!!.

NOTE: I just saw that another JKOTR reader, Raphael, also won an autographed Slingbox as well. Now that is impressive.

Thanks Guys!

Ron P.

Anybody else win a Slingbox in the contest?  WIth 2 of 75 winners our winning percentage is not too shabby!

UPDATE: Reader Gaber also won a Slingbox so our reader winner total is 3!  Congratulations to all of you.
