I take it this must be a lottery? I don't bother. I figure
my chances are almost identical with or without a ticket.

Yeah. That's the ticket!

Actually since you didn't get struck by lightening in your
RR, your chances of winning the lottery have gone up.

I'll take a pair of 2.3's with one-inch gold plating. Or,
JUST to make it easier on you, screw the tires, the gold
will do just fine!

Just had a quick count, and the number of regs posting
yesterday was a little over 30.

Sorry folks, I only won $7. There were no winners though so
it is now $280 million. That being said, I am upping my
offer now if I win the drawing on Friday. You'll now get a
set of tires and a new set of grips too.
