Ok. For some reason I've been giving the lotto thing too much thought.

Here's my proposal:

1. We poll the frequent posters in this tread and find out how many people are in.

2. We divide the price of Red-Foot by the number of people that are in. Add in the usual PayPal fee bullshit. That will be the cost of your entry.

3. I will write the names of the people that are in on slips of paper. I will put them in a bag, and draw them randomly. First name pulled = #1, 2nd = #2, & so on. Andrew will watch me.

4. The day after numbers are assigned, we look at the illinois lottery evening pick three.

To calculate the winning number. We follow this mehod. If the numbers are:

6 -7 -8

We add the three numbers and get 21. We then add 2 + 1.

The winning number is 3.

5. If the no one matches the winning number for that day, the prize rolls over to the next day's evening pick three until we have a winner.

6. Winner to cover the shipping expense to their location.

Everyone has one fair shot. Everyone can participate (as long as you trust Andrew and I with the name pull).
