And the winning number is...

This was the first year that we held this contest for our clients, their friends, and family. The contest was pretty simple, all you had to do was guess how many jellybeans were in the jar pictured below. We supplied the dimensions of the jar, 9X6 inches, and you all did the rest.

 

When we decided to start this contest we were simply hoping to provide a fun contest

,something different, and the chance to win some $. We weren't sure how many participants we would even have. 10? 50? 100?

 

Over the month of March and into early April our inbox was flooded with guesses,  we had somewhere north of 350 people enter. It was exciting to see all of the guesses come in. There were so many great guesses we thought that there might be a chance multiple people would guess the actual number.

 

Surprisingly only one person guessed 1905, which is the year Spalding Insurance was founded. It was a well thought out guess and probably would have been a winner if we had thought of it ourselves.

 

The actual number of jellybeans in the jar was 1,117. 

 

The winning guess was 1,114 and the runner-up number was 1,111. We are in the process of notifying the winners so that they can stop into one of our agency locations to collect their Visa gift cards.

 

Thank you to everyone who participated! We believe that we have the best clients in Michigan. It is our privilege to provide you with insurance services and products.
