[Physstaff] UK General Election Sweep Stake Result

[Simon Preval]

Hello all

I managed to stay up till about 3:30am watching the results come in. 
This election has been very exciting, and I have no idea that the 
Conservatives would be able to form a majority!

Anyway, onto the results. There were 5 entrants, each contributing £1, 
making a pot of £5. As a reminder, the winner is found by taking the 
election results, and subtracting the entrant's guess from this. The 
winner is the one with the smallest total sum of the difference. 
Therefore, in ascending order:

Name
Kevin O'Donnell    - 120
Craig Picken         - 134
Luis F Menchero  -  140
Simon Preval       -  162
Kirill Tokmakov     - 190

Therefore, I declare Kevin O'Donnell the winner of the sweep stake! 
Congratulations! Please come and find me to receive your prize money.

Thank you to everyone that participated. I will be running another sweep 
stake next year for the Scottish Parliament elections, so see you then!

Cheers

Simon
