February 2020 Lottery

YaksterYakster Posts: 25,534 ✭✭✭✭✭

Well it's February. Time to send some lucky winner a fiver of valentines cigars. Here's the boilerplate for this game, let me know in PM if you have any questions.


  • One entry per person; ante is five cigars.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • I'll draw at the end of the month. You'll need to get a box out to the winner sometime the first week of March 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,
  • If you win, you need to make sure you post pictures of your winnings so we can track that you received everything. Try to identify who sent you the cigars so I can check them off the list.
  • 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.
  • If you don't pay, then you can't play again (that and you'll likely be publicly shamed.)
  • 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.
  • I'll be using the Random.org site to select the winner. I typically do the drawing live on the Google Hangouts vHerf on the first Tuesday of the month after I get home from work so that I can get some witnesses and we can celebrate the winner and console those who have yet to win.

Who's in?

I'll gladly bomb you Tuesday for an Opus today.

    Ok I'll by #1. That never wins.
    Now this is not the end of the cigar. It is not even the beginning of the end of the cigar. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the cigar.

    Maybe leave #6 open for us who participate to vote for a winner? I'm sure we could all think of a deserving target.....I mean winner.

    that's OK, Mr. Yak, I forgave you due to deep-buried liberal tendencies.

    Sorry @Yakster . I got ahead of myself. I won't be home for six weeks starting at the end of February so can't participate in the lottery for March. 😥

    Ok, since it's going to be a busy week, I went ahead and did the random draw for the winner. The winner is... #5 @Smoothsticks. Congratulations Jeremy, I'll start another thread to track the incoming.
