The lucky winner of Steemy the Steemwhale is:
When choosing a winner of this competition I wanted to ensure three main goals were achieved, people had some fun and maybe walk away with a prize, I showed some much needed appreciation to my loyal followers but also - to ensure Steemy found himself a forever home where he would enjoy a long loved filled life (and maybe even make some future appearances on steemit).
For these reasons alone I decided to choose a fellow steemian I have had several positive exchanges with on the platform, someone I knew had interacted with me on my own posts before, someone who had been a continued loyal supporter of our amazing platform for many months - and someone who would love and care for Steemy as much as I would.
I am of course referring to Shavon Bonnie Legion or @soundlegion as she is fondly known here on steemit, her kind and caring words made me feel as though she truly understood my goals in the little undertaking - congratulations on the new addition to your musical family I'm sure Steemy will be happy living out his days with you.
Now onto more fun! It's time for the random cash giveaway portion of this evening's festivities.
So with 53 entries in total, I have gathered all the names of the entrants added them to a list -
The list was then randomized.
Here are the results...
The first cash winner and recipient of $100 is @yaan
Our second cash winner and recipient of $50 is @uniwhisp

Now I couldn't just leave it there so here are a couple of honorary mentions, that all received $10 each for participating and just having some fun with the idea.
The first to receive the additional $10 is @quinneaker because I know the money will go where it is needed, either to keep you going or help others - I love the work you do and thanks for entering.
The second additional $10 goes to @drpuffnstuff I loved your ideas and the amazing journey, you were willing to take Steemy on - thanks for taking part.
The third additional $10 recipient goes to @arbitrarykitten for a possibly silly reason, I just loved your bio specifically your status as a word dominatrix - absolute perfection.
The fourth additional $10 recipient is @arckrai for giving it a go and perhaps stepping out of your comfort zone.
The fifth $10 recipient is @nicugoanga for your awesome suggestions on what you'd do with Steemy if you'd one, thanks so much for the entry.
The final winner in todays competition and the final recipient of an additional $10 is @fraenk for making me laugh, I loved your entry and even though you withdrew from the main competition I wanted to fuel your clear passion for googly eyes!
A big congratulations to all of our lucky winners here today and a very big thank you, to all that decided to join in you made it a pleasure to hold this giveaway.
