Sept 2024 or Third Quarter 2024 Lottery

Yakster

I'm sensing lottery fatigue setting in, or maybe it's just summer and people are busy, either way the numbers are down. Either way, this is the signup for the next lottery. Tell me if you want to continue with a monthly lottery or move it to quarterly (four times a year) as you sign up.

Here it is, the thread you've been waiting for. If your on the Good Trader's List, now's your chance. It's that time once again to ante up for the Monthly Lotto. Who's in?

~ Play only if you're willing to win this thing. Even though the draw is random, you may end up winning multiple lotteries. ~

Here's the standard boilerplate:

1. One entry per person; ante is five cigars.
2. You should be on the good trader's list--If you haven't officially "made the list" then let me know and we'll see if you can't get someone to vouch for you.
3. If you want in, type "In" or something similar. I'll periodically update the list so if you think you are in and you're not on the list, make sure I know.
4. I'm not as sharp as I used to be so if you post a witty follow-up after you've already entered for the Lottery I may slip up and add you to the list twice. Just let me know and I'll fix the list.
5. I'll draw at the beginning of the month. You'll need to get a box out to the winner sometime the first few weeks of the month so if you're going to be gone then and won't be able to send them out, make sure you include that information in your first post. Obviously, some of you will have plans and may have to send later than normal. That's no problem - just communicate with the winner.
6. If you win, you need to make sure you post pictures of your winnings in the winner thread so we can track that you received everything. Try to identify who sent you the cigars with their forum name so I can check them off the list.
7. You have to play for yourself. If you want to bomb someone else after you received you winnings, that's up to you but they all come to you.
8. If you don't pay, then you can't play again (that and you'll likely be publicly shamed.)
9. When someone wins, check their bio and if you have something you know they like then try to send that. Otherwise, send what you like and tell them why you like it.
10. I try to do the drawing live on the Zoom vHerf so that I can get some witnesses and we can celebrate the winner and console those who have yet to win.(have a good laugh at the outcome)
    11. Have fun

Quarterly sounds good to me. Would that be Sept -Nov? Or just two months to fill the remainder of the quarter?

If we go Quarterly, I was thinking we take sign-ups and hold off the draw until October.

If we go to quarterly, should we double the ante?

I think we should leave the ante at a forum fiver.

I'm in for quarterly and I think we need to find a virgin to pull the wining number out of a hat.

Quarterly is good. I’ll join in the chaos.

Yakster

Ok, quarterly it is. We'll make this one the Fall 2024 Lottery and I'll leave this open for entries through September and draw in October if that works.

Welcome to October, I'm hoping to draw a winner tonight for the 2024 Fall lottery, but seeing as how we're getting triple digit heat here I may delay the draw to a cooler day, whenever that will be. I'll try and get it going tonight, I have the L&L Blind Tasting on Thursday and it's going to hotter tomorrow than today so it may be my best option.

ShawnOL

Triple digits in October? I've forgotten what it was like when I was growing up there. Mid 60s here all week.

If it's not too late to get in, I'll take a spot in the Lotto please. Thank you.
