2015 Happy Funtime Friends and Family Predictions Winner
Winner, winner....it's me, Megan D!  I thank the three people who sacrificed in order for me to accumulate 139 points.  Thanks to everyone who played!

And the winner of the 5th annual Margaret Walker Humanitarian Award is...

once again, its namesake, Margaret W.  While Margaret W. is no longer with us, her spirit of charity continues on.  And since she has the longest run of not scoring (having never scored in this game....I mean, six years, seriously!!), she wins hands down.  The Peggy Award comes with a cash prize based on the interest earned for the 1st place prize.  This year, the Peggy Award is 38¢.  Congratulations to Margaret W!
It should be known, when asked in late 2011 if she wanted to play the 2012 game, she said of her picks "let them ride".  With that wish, so long as she still has an intact 10 picks, we here at Happy Funtime will continue to grant that wish.  This year, Margaret W's entry fee has been paid so that we can "let them ride" and try to win some money for charity.

2016 Picks will be posted soon!
