Thanks Lopaka!

Alright now that we have all the cigars in, here is how the drawing will take place. On Monday, a trusted FOG will place the number 1 through 16 on 16 pieces of paper. This "drawer" will then draw four winners randomly from some sort of container. The drawer will post what those four numbers are.

I will also send a list of all the players numbered 1 through 16. This list has the members in a different order than the one posted on the forum. I will send this list to the "verifyer" BEFORE our drawer draws any names. The drawer and the verifyer do not know who the other one is (I love this dramatic Penn and Teller stuff!)

Once our "drawer" posts the winning numbers, I will post the list of numbered players. Then, the winners will be apparant at that time. After that, the "verifyer" will reply to the thread and verify that the list is in the same order as the one I sent him.

Once we have the winners, I will assign the cigars in their original 2-cigar lots randomly one at a time to each of the winners one-by-one. If the same cigars that a winner submited to lottery are selected for THAT winner, another 2-cigar lot will be drawn instead. So, if the numbers are posted 8, 4, 16, and 12, it would look like this:

(Poor Graphic follows)

8..........4...........16.........12
-------- ------- ------ -------
Lot 1 Lot 16 Lot 9 Lot 11
Lot 4 Lot 12 etc......

Once all the cigars have been allocated, I will post what each winner won. I will be sending out the cigars next Saturday. If one of our Canadian friends wins, I will send the cigars in as expedious a method as I can.

Thanks to everyone for playing and getting your cigars to me in a timely manner. Also, thanks for the good selection; I know the winners will be happy.

I can't speak for any of my Canadian Brotha's, but should I be lucky enough to be one of the "Chosen" few, don't go through any expense for me. Just send 'em USPS regular method.

Thanks again for doing this pal!!

Newf

EDIT for mis-spelled word due to a buzz brought on by several Cuban coffees and my first Bolivar!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Props again illilli for the planning and impartiality. Commendable.

Note on the expeditious mailing to our friends up north - sent a BOTL a package USPS EXPRESS MAIL and thus far it's been A FULL WEEK. Someone needs to contract with the Post Office to sort this logistical BS. *shaking my head*

Hey illilli, what time you think that'll be happening today?

Just curious, that's all.

Thanks.

Got my package too. In as much as i wanted to rip it open like Christmas morning, i decided to see how you packed your cigars. Top notch. Water pillow, air pillows and everything. Now I know how to send sticks!
The whole contest ran great. I cannot wait to get into trading and contests more often.

I'm glad the U.S. packages arrived in good form....Enjoy!

Newfie, don't worry, they will get up there to Canada pretty soon.

Patiently waiting, and not worrying! I told kayakinboy I've learned a new level of patience since I joined here and waiting for stuff to get back and forth across the border. I mailed him a M/O April 04th (I think, maybe a day earlier) and he got it after 9 days. He put my package in the mail the next day (2 weeks ago Friday past) and I'm still waiting. Unreal service from the Post Office.

They arrived a hell of alot faster than I would have thought!! I just happen to go home for lunch today checking the mail for something else and there it is, a box from Raymond!!!! I checked the post date (I said "This CAN'T be from the Lottery". Sure 'nuff, it was dated April 29th and it for here today. I wanna know what connections you have at the Post Office to accomplish that!!!!:smiley20:

Well, I have some procedures to proof-read, so instead of sitting in my little box of an office, I'm gonna go outside in the 70+ temps, sunshine and slight breeze, proof-read 'em out there on the picnic table and smoke my first Hemmingway Short Story!!!

Thanks Pal, and as everyone said, the packaging was nothing else but spectular!!!!
