First let me start by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020 to all of you here on the STEEM BLOCKCHAIN!!

Second, I want to thank our Amazing SPUD 9 PRIZE SPONSORS, for without them this would not have the turn out and community support that SPUD does receive, so a big THANK YOU!!
Hive account@davedickeyyall Hive account@xpilar Hive account@sultan-aceh Hive account@improv Hive account@reflektor Hive account@hingsten Hive account@mcoinz79 Hive account@bippe Hive account@traciyork Hive account@livinguktaiwan

I also want to thank each and everyone of you that supported SPUD 9 in any form, be it with an upvote, or a re-steem and of course by Powering up and for those that stopped their Power Downs; THANK YOU!!

Also, I have been busy with Holiday Family time, work and SPUD, so I haven't had a chance to respond to a single one of your comments or replies, please be patient, I usually do get to them.

Here is the UNOFFICIAL WINNERS LIST. I still have to double check one more time that I didn't miss anyone or make a mistake in my math. I have been seeing SPUD and Steem Power Up numbers for the last few days and am going a little bonkers now. I am only including the qualifying Prize participants for now. In my next post I will include those honorable mentions that I was able to catch.
