Here it is, the thread you've been waiting for. If your on the Good Trader's List, now's your chance. If your not on the Good Trader's List yet, you still have time to get your Newbie Trade out of the way and sign up for the fun. It's that time once again to ante up for the Quarterly Lotto. Sign up now, I'll draw a winner in October 2026. 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 quarter. You'll need to get a box out to the winner sometime the first few weeks of the quarter 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
