Super Bowl Picks Contest: Winners Declared

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-30 in Super Bowl LVI, which is important but not as important as declaring our contest winners. We are double-checking the results and selecting our random winners today.

Mr. Koerner takes home the title of champion, edging Rebecca Pavone and Taylor Boothroyd. Mr. Koerner had the Rams winning 24-20, while Rebecca had the Rams prevailing 25-19. Each had 44 points, but Mr. Koerner won on the margin of victory tiebreaker. If not for a botched extra point, then Mr. Koerner would have picked the score perfectly. Taylor predicted 24-21 Rams, so that was just a bit off as well.

Mr. Koerner wants the label of champion, but he has graciously donating his gift card back to the Panther Press, which allows those who finished fourth a slice of the gift card pie as well. Below you will find the gift card winners for our promotion. Gift card winners will receive an email with information about picking up their prizes. 

First Place: Mr. Koerner

Second Place: Rebecca Pavone $20 gift card

Third Place: Taylor Boothroyd $15 gift card

Four Place: Gabriella Hill $10 gift card, and Nick Hollister $10 gift card.

Random winners $10 gift card: Mary Lynch and Brooke Bridges.
