Contest Time!!! Are you feeling lucky? :)

bd3d86 · 07-21-2017, 09:28 PM

I haven't done a contest in quite some time. I'm in the giving mood tonight, but this one will be tough. My family recently got back from our vacation to Virginia Beach/Hershey, PA. We had a great time and on the trip we always play the license plate game. Basically you just try to find the license plates of all 50 states during the trip. Well, this year we did our best ever. We only missed 5 states.

The contest entry is easy. Guess all 5 states that we missed.

Contest rules: You must be in good standing on Blowout. You must have at least 5 iTrader and 100% feedback. No editing!

Prizes:
If you guess all 5 states that we missed I will buy you a baseball hobby box and ship it to you (it might be one from 2016 due to Judge prices....we will see).
EDIT: If anyone guesses the 5 correct states, the contest is immediately over and they are the winner. (Just in case someone guesses all 5 before Sunday night)

If no one guesses the 5 correct states, I will send the person with the closest number of correct guesses a package of their favorite team. In the event of a "closest" tie, I will random the names or might even send something to both.

I will post a picture of the app map we used for the game in 2 days (so around 10:30 EST on Sunday night) to verify the 5 states.

Good luck!!

dashcol · 07-21-2017, 09:56 PM

Man I love playing this game with the family! My wife and I played one time driving from Charleston, SC to New London, CT and did our best only missing two! Not the two you would think either! Being in the Navy Hawaii plates are not that uncommon around us, turns out a lot of us get stationed there and bring back the plates on our cars. We ended up missing Montana and Alaska.

When you guys play so you include D.C. Plates as well? It just makes it one more you have to get. What APP do you use? Didn't even know there was one.

My guess:
Hawaii (even though being in VA Beach there probably was some around you)
Alaska
Montana
Utah
Idaho

The app we used was called States and Plates Free, The License Plate Game. It's pretty cool. Once you find a state you have the figure out a riddle that the plate is spelling (example: GR8LKS for Michigan - Great Lakes)

D.C. isn't on the app as a separate plate, so we didn't count it even though we saw one!

Keep the guesses coming!
