[Devilcat]

Congrats All !!!

[Huskee]

Folks, in an even more rare turn of events than we've already had, the former Grand Prize winner has declined to accept the prize! You may remember he was bumped up from Fourth Prize to Grand Prize, and was aware of this and even went as far as claiming his prize, yet decided later in an email to me to decline.

---

Therefore, please give it up for our new January 2026 Grand Prize winner, Carolyn!

Carolyn, congrats! You have 5 days, until Wednesday January 28, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. CT to claim your prize as directed in the main top post in the topic!

Previous winner in da witness protection plan.

[Carolyn]

Thank you, everybody. I am very happy. See response at #113. 😁

[Ace]

That is weird but he must have a personal reason for declining. I wish him well and have a great deal of respect for someone that makes that tough decision and allows the prize to be passed on to someone else.
Congratulations Carolyn
Whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll put that cooker to good use.

[Carolyn]

Thank you, Ace.

[RonB]

Wow! Congrats Carolyn! I'm glad it's someone I "know".

[Carolyn]

Thank you, RonB. I owe you a double, "Thank you," and maybe even triple or quadruple. 🍻

[synodog]

Carolyn sounds kind of familiar! Congrats!

[Carolyn]

Thank you. 🙂

[Carolyn]

Are you kidding me? I was wondering why I had so many messages.
Thank you, Amazing Ribs, and thank you to RonB who declined the grand prize and gave us all another chance to win. I don't know why pellcj declined, I hope it isn't because of something bad.
I'll be looking at the prize page, like I haven't done that a million times already. Thanks, everybody.

BTW - Zagnut has always been my favorite candy bar. However, Cracker Barrel is the only place local that sells it, so I only get then on rare occasions, (which is a good thing).

[Carolyn]

RonB I don't think I have ever eaten a Zagnut bar.

[RonB]

I doubt that you will be able to find one. I've not seen one in any convenience store in many years. The closest I can come to describing it would be a Butterfinger covered in toasted coconut instead of chocolate.

[SmokingSteve]

Oh Wow! So happy for you Carolyn!

[Carolyn]

Thank you. 🙂
