Play a game with me and win a prize!

August 19, 2008 02:58 PM EDT (Updated: August 26, 2008 03:12 PM EDT)

Hi all. I've been writing a lot about saving up for a down payment for our first home and after I emptied out my change jar to put it in the savings account... I thought of a fun game we could play together.

Just guess how much money is in this bag and I'll send the lucky guesser a PRIZE! It won't be cash, but what I'll do is go to the profile of the winner and pick out something that matches their interests after I've looked through all their content to get a good feel of the person.

http://media-files.gather.com/images/d757/d873/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d762/d873/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

I'll keep this open to guesses for one week so the last guess needs to be turned in by 11:59pm EST on Tuesday, August 26th. You can guess 1 time or however many times you want and the winner is the person who comes the closest, either under or over.

Feel free to ask more questions about it too... I can weigh it if you want. The winner would have to be comfortable with sending me their mailing address too because I'll be mailing the prize to them. :o)

Have fun and good luck!

Wow! That's a lot of change! I'm guessing it holds around $71.63. (Or, if Price is Right answers count, "$1." ; )

Ms. Meacham -- thanks for the guesses... I've been saving for a few years, actually, but I've been bad about taking change out every once in awhile for really small things, just a few dollars here and there.

So, are you saying that we may 'guess' as often as we want, but that only ONE will count? If so, who decides which value is entered?

You got it Donna, thanks for explaining that to Edward. I was hoping that my post explained everything well enough... but I guess not?

Anyway, as stated in my post: "I'll keep this open to guesses for one week so the last guess needs to be turned in by 11:59pm on Tuesday, August 26th. You can guess 1 time or however many times you want and the winner is the person who comes the closest, either under or over."

Thanks!

I think there is $133.98

Are you taking it straight to the bank or to one of those counters at the store. The counters at the store deduct like 9% so watch out.

My son said "Wow Momma, that's a lot of coins!" Then when I asked him how many he thought were in there, he said "um, well, 100!" So, I'm gonna say that his guess is $100

Oh, I collect change too. But I go through it to see if there are any that are valuable too. The 1909 VDB penny is worth $10,000 I seperate it out into years , after I have done decades 1n 1944 there were a lot of double stamped pennies worth a fortune. Next time you start saving you may want to get your eldest son into coin collecting. You buy what they call a red book. It tells you values .
