Rough tutorial for how to confirm the winners for anyone having trouble:

This works with windows XP and Office 95+:
1. Click on the verification file link.

2. Make sure select Save rather than Open to save the file to your hard disk. Easiest place to save to is your desktop.

3. Double click it to open your saved file (You must have microsoft office and a compatible AES decryption program installed.)

4. You will then be prompted for a password. Use the password from the prize draw winners thread.

5. To find a winning ticket number, press CTRL+G, then type Axxx - replace xxx with the ticket number. Eg, ticket number 435 is A435.

6. The number in that field is the ID number of the ticket holder. Type their ID in here to view their profile: https://walkmyplank.net/search.php

Thanks and congratulations to the winners!

I am overwhelmed with gratitude to have been selected to receive the September Golden Ticket Prize. Thank you all so much for being here to share in this occasion. I am so honored to have my work recognized in this way by Hagar the Horrible. Many hours went into searching the high seas around miscellaneous ports, and it means so much to me that the work that I am so passionate about also resonates with others.

I will continue my efforts to search the seas for random objects and tickets for a few more months. I am humbled and appreciative. Thank you and good night.

lucky number 7 there
