Hey guys, after a little hiatus, I thought it was a good time to bring the lottery back. It will work much like the previous lottery, but I'll add a couple rules to avoid any issues this time around.
Typically, around a week to ten days before the drawing, I will open up the window to enter the lottery. You must be an active participant in this forum and have completed some trades prior to participating in this lottery. You must express your interest in entering the drawing each month. I will never assume anyone wants in every month, even if you say so! The entry fee is 5 cigars. Obviously, you can send more. If you are participating, it is helpful if you fill out your bio with a favorites and wishlist (and cigars you don't like list) to help people pick your winnings should you win. It should go without saying, but please send cigars that you think the winner will enjoy.
On the first day of each month (or possibly the second if I'm having a bad hair day), I will hold a random drawing of all the people that have elected to participate in that month's lottery. I will film the drawing and post it here as soon as possible. The winner (and no one else) is responsible for pm'ing each of the participants with their current address. This should be done immediately. If you do not claim your prize within one week of the drawing, I will redo the drawing and select a new winner. If you do not frequent this forum enough to meet that requirement, then please do not enter the lottery. Participants should mail their cigars to the winner immediately. If you have not shipped within a week of receiving the winner's address, you will be considered delinquent and not permitted to participate in the future (plus any other repercussions that come with this type of behavior). Again, if you can not meet this requirement, then don't enter the lottery.
Delivery confirmation numbers should be posted in this thread when you ship your package. If you are new to shipping cigars, here are a couple tips. Go to usps.com and order some small flat rate boxes. They will ship them to your door. When/If you lose, go to usps.com and print a shipping label for your small flat rate box. Drop this box off in your mailbox on your way to work in the morning. Ta da, you just mailed your lottery entry in about 10 minutes from home without a trip to the PO! (This is why I don't believe in excuses to not ship in a timely manner).
So with all of that said, who wants to participate in the next lottery drawing????

I am still fairly new to group and have only been involved in one trade so far. At what point do I qualify to be a participant ?
Last time I won something was about 10 years ago. I entered a recipe contestant and was notified I won second place. I was excited until I found out later I was the only one who entered. Moral of the story: my five are already sitting in the humi in a small flat rate box....

Eric, a defeatist attitude will surely help you win

It was a pasta salad with a Thai-style peanut dressing. It was pretty good:-)

I'm glad someone asked because I was afraid to.

I'm good to go. I got the box, cigar bag, and a freshly charged humi pack. Now I just need to know what kind of sticks to put in it and where to send it.
