Who's ready to sign up for the next monthly lottery? August is right around the corner. It's time to ante up for the next round in the Lotto. Who's game? Here's the boilerplate.

Play only if you're willing to win this thing. I use Random.Org for the draw, but that doesn't mean you won't end up winning multiple lotteries.

Here's the standard boilerplate:

• 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'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.

• 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 AUGUST 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 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.

• 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 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)
• Have fun
