Awarding the prize

[CathyKennedy]

Well a gigantic thank you to everyone who entered the St Peter's Tiddlers quiz based on the London Underground.

I've spent this morning marking them all and whilst I had no completely correct entries, I have 5 entries with just one wrong answer.

So my question is - do I choose one randomly and award the full prize - or split the prize equally - which would mean �5 each?

I'd be interested to know what you think!

The usual thing to do is to select one at random.

It would be nice if you would post all the answers so we can see where we went wrong.

[CathyKennedy]

Of course - no problem. I'm sending the answers to everyone who sent an SAE anyway.

I just wondered if it wouldn't be nicer to make 5 people a little happy rather than just one!

[Rollo]

I seem to remember that it said that the prize was �25, so I think people will expect a winner to get that amount.

I would say 5 winners 5 prizes, it's only fair. I assume this was a general knowledge quiz and not a prize draw ,ie; raffle.

I do not agree with Rollo, (sorry rollo). I for one would be very glad to receive �5 (and have my fingers crossed lol)and you did not state that the prize money would only go to one person. Had there been a great many people with the correct answers then a draw would have been necessary. The Lincs Air Ambulance prize money is always split if necessary, as are the second and third prizes if necessary, that way more people get the chance to have a win and it gives them encouragement to have another go.

Thanks for that...I thought that it would be fairer to split the prize, Will see my Treasurer tomorrow and ask her to raise the cheques to these lucky people!
