We’ve got another winner in our iPod contest!
Ben Sweeney was the second winner of an iPod shuffle from StudentPhones.com and The Varsity last Friday. Since his name was drawn first, he got the choice of the iPod or a pair of red socks from StudentPhones.com. And like the previous week’s winner, he chose the iPod.
Jennifer Weber won second prize, a Cesium MP3 player, and Amy Lin received third prize, a pair of red socks from StudentPhones.com. There are two more weeks to win an iPod, and now we’ve made it even easier to win by entering online, at www.vfor.ca. Find your ballot on page 4 and next week could be your turn to win!
