Over 5,000 entries later, we’re very excited to announce that Scott Slocum of Essex, Maryland, is the big winner of the ‘I Want to Rock in Cleveland’ sweepstakes! Scott and his wife will be flown to Cleveland, put up in the Ritz-Carlton, and attend both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony and the VIP pre-induction party. Fifty runners-up have won various mental_floss and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame prizes. (We’ll be announcing those winners on Monday.)
We’ll tell you more about Scott, his guest, and their rockin’ weekend in Cleveland next month.
Thanks to all of you who entered. And in case you were wondering about our other big 2009 prize, the five winners of our $50,000 Tuition Giveaway will be announced on April 1st.

congratulations on winning! i hope you have fun while visiting our fair city. make sure you get out of downtown and tour the old ethnic neighborhoods. there is a lot to see, but you will miss it if you hole up in your hotel. downtown is dead at night, so ask your concierge where tremont, ohio city and other places are if you want to have fun in the rock and roll city.
