I held a giveaway contest and the winner is not replying. It has been nearly 2 weeks. I'm looking for opinions on what to do with the prize. I'll give the winner another week to claim the win, if he doesn't by then, what should I do?
I enjoy and appreciate this community very much, so I would love to honor my word of sending out a prize. Wife says give it to whoever was 2nd closest. Opinions please. Help!

do what your wife said I'm quite sure that this is the best advice you will ever give or receive on CCF.  Seriously though, I might give him a little more time--another week or so. He joined over a year ago and has more than 250 posts. Maybe he's just on vacation? "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I think most of us go "off the charts" on occasion. I'd agree with waiting three weeks, another PM, then to the second place as good advise.

I guess that there is a lesson here:
The contest should state the rules about claiming the prize.
Of course it is too late for this contest, but if I ever have a contest, I will remember this.
Also we need to consider that the winner may be in a country where the postal system is shaky.

I think two very valuable lessons were learned here.
First: patience is a wise action
Second: always listen to "she who must be obeyed"
