This morning GiveMN released its final numbers, which show a slight drop from what was on the website at midnight on November 16.

For the record, 47,534 donors raised more than $13.4 million for nearly 4000 MN nonprofits.

That's what's printed in the GiveMN news release; as a reporter I prefer more exact numbers, so I went to their website, which shows the following numbers:

13,418,376 Donated
47,534 Donors
3,978 Nonprofits

This year a random donor was selected each hour and given a "golden ticket" which added $1,000 to their donation. One donor got a "supersized" golden ticket, adding $10,000 to their donation. The winner was Jim Colten and he gave the money to The Raptor Center.
