My cart had took a LONG time to come up. I had it ready to buy since 12:30 AM EDT. And, I didn't touch it. I was afradi I'd never see it again.

1 in 222 Chance
I can't believe I just sat here for three hours watching this stupid countdown. I just purchased 100 songs and there were 22,185 songs purchased in that last 5 minute spread. So 1 in 222 aren't that bad of odds for $14,000 worth of stuff!
btw...long time reader, first time poster!

Alllright. Screw you Apple Music Store servers. I'll be removing quite a bit of music I was going to purchase now. I'll keep that money for something else.
My guess is that they won't e-mail the winner until tomorrow morning when someone can manually verify that it's good. Then a few days of back and forthing and signing papers. So maybe they'll announce the person late this week?
The store must be WAY behind....
the next update came and was 100,033,542...so over 15,000 songs in 5 min

Rules state winners will be announced within 10 days.
Apple's got 3 days to contact the winner.
The winner has 5 days to contact Apple.
Ooooh, suspense.

A very fun promotion!
I'm still downloading the 99 Ways to Get More Out of Every Day. Do you think if I cancel the rest of the downloads, it would invalidate my entry?? 🙂
A fun example:
"Number 39: Use Email whenever you can.
You'll save money, but the big saving is time! No need to address the envelope, or stick a stamp on the letter, or go to the mailbox!
Don't delete an e-mail message when you apply. Do an insert of your message...bla bla bla"
<><><>
By the way: Thank you very much to the guy who did iTunes Checkup (which I've been using) and to all the other counter programs out there, it helped make the countdown more fun and easier.
EDIT: It looks like Mr. Toast was the one who did iTunes Checkup. Thank you!
