How Do We Know If We Win A Drawing?

Hello;
I just wondered if someone who has won a drawing could tell me how we know it?

Louise411, Personaly, as I have won a couple times now is that the person who has the drawing usually posts the winners ID at the end of the thread he started. As well they will contact you through email. I had a draw earlier this year and posted the winners name at the end of the thread and notified him by email. As well you can always go to the closed thread on contests and see who the winner was. And it is always a good thing to go to the thread about this site to offer a thanks to the person who had the draw. It is a great community to be involved in.

Thank you very much.
