In order to encourage member participation, the NHS sponsor, Mrs. Sams, decides to have a drawing for a $50 gift card to be awarded to the member with the winning number.

Each member is given a slip of paper with a number written on it and each time a member sells a candy gram, Mrs. Sams give the member an additional numbered slip of paper. The more candy grams a member sells, the more numbers he or she has. At the end of the sales, 50 members sold a total of 450 candy-grams. Jonah sold the most - a whopping 74!
