I promised a big giveaway and I am delivering on it. I am in a giving mood today and so are my fellow bloggers from the Yakezie Network. I would like to share some New Year joy with all of my site readers by offering them free gifts.
Two months ago I won an iPad from DoNotWait. Last month I had someone else give me an iPad for Christmas. So, now I am stuck with two iPads. Instead of reselling the iPad, I have decided to give it away! That’s right! I am giving away an iPad no strings attached. This iPad is brand new, unopened and in perfect condition. But that’s not all. You can also win one of three great gift cards. Read below for contest details.
You can win one of 4 great prizes!!
1st Prize: Brand New 64 GB iPad courtesy of Mark Riddix dot com
2nd Prize: $25 Amazon Gift Card courtesy of Frugal Zeitgeist

3rd Prize: $15 Amazon Gift Card courtesy of Budgeting In The Fun Stuff
4th Prize: $15 Starbucks Gift Card courtesy of Bucksome Boomer

Enter to win using all of the following ways.
1. Promote this contest via Twitter. (1 entry per Tweet) Retweet this contest on Twitter. Everyday that you retweet this contest you earn 1 point. (Maximum of 10 entries)
2. Link to this contest on your blog. Write about this contest and link back to it on your blog. (5 entries)
3. Subscribe to my RSS Feed by email. (3 entries) You can do that by clicking here or click the Follow Me tab to the right ———>
4. Follow me on Twitter. (1 entry)
5. Like my Facebook Page. (1 entry)
**Be sure to leave a comment below and let me know all of the ways that you have entered. I will then check and verify each entry.
The maximum number of points for contestant is 20 entries
This contest will run until January 31st. Winners will be selected the following week. The winners will be selected randomly. The more entries you submit, the better chance that you have of winning.
Be sure to stop by each of those blogs and thank Bucksome Boomer, Budgeting in the Fun Stuff, and the Frugal Zeitgeist for the great prizes!!
Update: Please read the contest update.
I have made a list of all of the people that have entered and left comments. I have written down these names and assigned numbers based on the number of entries so far. If you have already tweeted the contest once, you don’t have to leave a comment on the Win An iPad Form.
I will check my mentions on Twitter. If you want to double check to make sure that I got it, you can send an email to contests (AT) buylikebuffett (DOT) com.
I am making this change because I have hundreds of comments and links in my queue.

I’m not really after the iPad (though it would be AWESOME as a drawing tablet <3)- I'm moving to another state for schooling (it's got a high standard of living) so I've having to sell off everything to be able to afford it.
If I could win one of the Amazon gift cards to go towards the purchase of my books for my first semester, that would be -awesome-.
You have my email, so I'd be happy to fill in more about it.
Thanks

Not sure what happened to my links? I’ll come back to check.
Fritter, I had to install a link remover. I had over 400 something links on this one page and it was slowing my site down terribly.
ok- but how do you want me to post the extra entries? sorry, have to ask!
Oh I think I got it. You are going to give us the extra entries where you keep track so I don’t have to do the blogged #2, #3, #4 etc. Got it. Thanks!
Exactly! I have recorded all of the entries. The duplicate entries have been written down as well.
daily tweet thanks so much !
were links removed by any chance? sorry to ask! I just notice some of my entries were missing. Thanks for hosting this – it’s amazing and so generous, Mark!
Hi Dee,
I have recorded all of the Tweets. After the 1st link, you don’t have to submit the link on the comments form anymore. I can just check Twitter.
