BEST GUESS FOR REMAINING STATES (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
Date State
Mon, 08/25 Washington 
Tue, 08/26 West Virginia 
Wed, 08/27 Wisconsin 
Thu, 08/28 Wyoming
Fri, 08/29 Connecticut - GAME DAY ++++
++++ A SOURCE IN THE KNOW CONFIRMED CONNECTICUT WOULD BE LAST AND ANOTHER SOURCE EMPHASIZED IT WOULD BE ON 8/29 (GAME DAY). NOTE SOME OF THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS EVENT (WHICH TO BE FAIR MAY NOT HAVE COME FROM BYUFOOTBALL) MENTIONED 50 STATES IN 50 DAYS BUT IF YOU STARTED ON JULY 10TH (DAY 1) AND GO UP TO AND INCLUDE 8/29 YOU ARE ON THE THE 51ST DAY....PERHAPS IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE 50 IN 50....OR PERHAPS IT WAS A MIX UP?...EITHER WAY I'M GETTING SOME FEEDBACK THAT BARRING LAST MINUTE CHANGES THESE ARE PRETTY ACCURATE GUESSES.

News of extra prizes in boxes or twists for those dropped in Utah
^1 According to a facebook post by the winners (Justin & Kristin Young) in Cedar City the Utah prize box they won also included 2 tickets to the Virginia game. Others may also be getting tickets to a home game (may or may not be Virginia).
^2 West Jordan winners also got a certificate for BYU Nike gear in the box.
^3 It took 9 minutes to get 5 participants to show up with their club and ball to participate in a "putt-off"; the winner sank a 40 foot putt (see video) at the 17 minute mark. The East Bay winner also got a certificate for a nice dinner on the 50 yard line in the box.
^4 The KSL winner also got a certificate for Season Seats in the box.
^5 The Adobe Icebox winners also got 2 tickets to the Virginia game in the box.
^6 Video of the race on Utah Lake.
^7 Had first 5 participants to show up compete for a box. According to a facebook post "The package was hidden in one of five cars. We had to pick the right key to win." This box also reportedly had 2 tickets to the Savannah St game which will be Senior Day where all departing seniors get their BYU blanket so stay after the game to enjoy that ceremony.
^8 According to facebook "No limit to entrants. First HR wins. MUST BRING A BAT!!"
^9 The longest one to find yet was this geocaching with LAT/LON provided only. Looks like it was in Uintah National Forest off the Nebo Loop near Box Lake & Payson Lakes Campground.
^10 They dropped this box in Salt Lake with this clue "We're up dropping a box LIVE on #KUTV news broadcast!! Come get it!! #BYU50".
^11 First FOUR to THIS SPOT in the parking lot at the Lehi Swig will vie for the next #BYU50 box!! Come thirsty we have a competition for you!! Rhett downed a 32oz Bloody Wild (no ice) the quickest and was crowned the champ!!
^12 It took 5 minutes to get 4 participants. The clue stated "First FOUR people to find us at Fat Cats in Provo will compete in a BOWL OFF for the final #BYU50 box!!"

From BYU Football facebook page on July 1st
We'll be visiting EVERY state as we count down to kickoff!! Starting THURSDAY July 10th we'll be hitting one state per day (two on Saturdays - no Sundays) as we lead up to the season opener against UCONN on Friday August 29th!!
