MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- It's been a whirlwind of emotions for dedicated Minnesota Twins fans. First, it was reported that "Circle Me Bert" was ending. Now, we're finding out it's not going away.

If you've been to a Twins game or watched the team on TV, you've likely seen fans with the "Circle Me Bert" signs.

On Tuesday, Bert Blyleven tweeted some bad news, saying the popular "Circle Me Bert" element was ending for the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, Fox Sports North said it was beginning a sponsored "Winner's Circle" contest with the Minnesota Lottery.

Turns out: Bert was mistaken. The "Winner's Circle" contest is separate and "Circle Me Bert" will continue!

FSN confirmed it.

Continue on, Twins fans.
