Hey Geekhack,

Closed. The GB was open from October 1st until November 1st,
2019. All valid entries to the GB form received an invoice.
Additionally, one (1) RNG-selected order will receive a

this GOLDEN TICKET, your entire order will
be refunded. If you’re the lucky order, all you have to do

Instagram, etc. and tag me in the post to verify. The
expected turnaround is 3 months without unanticipated
delays. Prices, pictures, and features can be found below.
