Random.org sifted through the 9,000+ entries and selected our winner. She is… Jenn (whose favorite number is 13 because of The Offspring song “Pretty Fly for a White Guy,” and the lyric “He went for a tattoo yeah, he’s getting it done. He asked for a 13 but they drew a 31”). Congrats, Jenn — looks like 13 turned out to be a lucky number this time!
Happy Memorial Day! While we’re spending the holiday with family, we wanted to share details about the giveaway that inspired all the counting in the post title. We were excited to offer one reader $500 to spend at FLOR — a brand known for modular carpet tiles that let you create custom rugs, runners, or even full room coverings. FLOR tiles are popular for their easy installation, bright colors, and mix-and-match patterns, which make them a flexible option for updating floors on a budget or trying out a bold new look without committing to wall-to-wall carpeting.
- PRIZE: $500 to FLOR (usable in-store or online)
- TO ENTER: Comment on the post with the phrase “FLOR ME!” and tell us a little about how you’d use a $500 FLOR credit.
- BONUS QUESTION: Share your favorite or lucky number(s). Is there a story behind your choice — a birthday, an anniversary, a jersey number, or a lyric from a song?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 30th at 8pm EST or when entries reach 10,000 — whichever happens first.
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world
- RULES: One entry per email address. The winner is chosen at random using random.org and announced as an update to the original post. Be sure to check back on Thursday for the official winner announcement.
FLOR’s carpet tiles are designed for versatility: pick a palette for a subtle tone-on-tone room, or mix graphic tiles for an eye-catching focal point. With a $500 credit, you can cover a high-traffic entryway, refresh a small living area with a coordinated rug, or combine tiles to create a custom runner for a hallway. If you’re new to modular rugs, think about measuring your space first and sketching a tile layout on paper — that helps you visualize how colors and patterns will read across the floor.
If you’re entering, a few tips to consider: include the phrase “FLOR ME!” in your comment so it’s easy to identify entries, briefly describe how you’d use the credit so the post stays interesting for other readers, and optionally add a quick story about your lucky number for the bonus question. We enjoy reading the personal anecdotes and the creative uses people imagine for their winnings.
