As hard as it is to believe, I actually slept and ate and stuff during the night so I didn’t come back to this thread until now. Next time I’ll have a judge with a stopwatch just to appease you people.
There were a lot of good guesses out there. Brunetter seemed to be in good shape but she got rid of the wrong number from her five digit guess. Only a couple of people even ended up withing 500 of my final number. My number was 7,474 meaning the winner, off by only 83, was the wonderful, the intriguing, the random number master…SAILOR!!!
Great gifts and prizes shall rain down upon you. More specifically a $1 bill will rain down upon you if you so choose to accept it.
I knew it! I knew it!! Yeah! i knew it! I have psychic powers! I do! I knew it!
::jumping up and down full of excitement::
With the prize money I plan a great dopefest with beer flowing freely and exotic dancers and there will be two women for every man and two men for every women. Such a dopefest as the world has never known! yeah!
So, Mulli, please deposit the prize money in an interest bearing account and let me now when you reckon the compound interest has accrued enough for the dopefest.
I am Soooooooo happy today!! 
I am soooo tempted to edit Mully’s post. I’m pretty sure he meant to type 4871, in which case the real winner is … UncleBeer!
Very cunning, Mully. Take only the last 2 digits of my street number and repeat them, eh? I should have known not to go with obvious choice.
C’mon Doc, you know I don’t want to blatantly stalk you. As a man of your wit and cunning should know I try to challenge you and provide a spark in your life before I crawl under your bed each night to videotape you while you sleep.
I think I should win a booby prize for being off by the most. I guessed 1, off by 7473 (aren’t you glad I helped with the math?)
Silver_Fire was right, this was fixed! Mullinator and sailor are obviously cooking up something together.
I was much closer than sailor, but Mullinator very conveniently ignores my post.
