Randy Roper, a Family Life Minister at Edmond Church of Christ, has won the Thunder’s NBA Draft Lottery Challenge, the on-line contest in which fans submitted a seven-word entry explaining why they were the most creative and enthusiastic fan to attend the lottery.

Roper’s entry was, “Gonna wear my Thunderwear in Times Square.” With 61 percent of the fan voting, Roper’s entry beat out, “I am Thunder Loud and Oklahoma proud,” (34 percent) and “Thunder rocks Loud City, New York’s next” (5 percent).

More than 2,100 entries were submitted and more than 9,900 fans voted on the three finalists in just a 48-hour period.

Roper will win round-trip airfare from Oklahoma City to New York for the Draft Lottery on May 19, hotel accommodations, per diem for the trip and wil get to be in the audience at the NBA Entertainment studios during the lottery.
